IBM WebSphere Earns Top Rating In User Survey
,----[ Quote ]
| In another surprise, the survey showed that the Apache Software Foundation's
| open source Geronimo application server has moved up in the rankings to the
| No. 2 spot, according to the ratings by its users. "Geronimo is relatively
| new, but its users rated many of its features very highly," the survey said.
| Geronimo is open source code, and open source has been typically rated less
| satisfactory than commercial code in application server technical support.

Dell outs Mini 9: Ubuntu Linux netbook for $349
,----[ Quote ]
| Dell today is revealing the full details of the Inspiron Mini 9, its first
| netbook. The 8.9-inch portable once rumored as the Inspiron 910 shares a
| similar design to larger Inspirons but, apart from the smaller screen, uses a
| 1.6GHz Intel Atom chip and Ubuntu Linux to significantly shrink its size
| without significantly affecting its responsiveness or its feature set.

Are “instant on” notebooks the future?
,----[ Quote ]
| If I think about my normal notebook usage patterns, I’m pretty sure I could
| spend a good 80 - 90% of my time in the instant on environment and only boot
| into Windows when I needed to do something specifically Windows-centric. In
| fact, given a properly set up Linux distro as the main OS (which should be a
| snap to set up since these systems would/should already be Linux-compatible
| because they are running the Linux-based instant on OS ) which would allow me
| to handle Microsoft Office docs, and a VPN, I could do away with having
| Windows on the system altogether and simply connect to a secondary
| Windows-based PC when I wanted that functionality (when on the road I rarely,
| if ever, need to run anything heavy such as Photoshop).

Dell’s comeback machine
,----[ Quote ]
| There are some surprises beneath the surface of the Latitude line as well.
| One is an optional Linux-based low-power mode called Dell Latitude On, which
| boots in two seconds. It offers more than a day’s worth of battery life for
| basic tasks like web surfing, Exchange e-mail, and viewing e-mail
| attachments, and runs on an ARM-based (ARMH) chip rather than the main Intel
| processor. (HP and Lenovo laptops offer similar Linux modes, but with fewer
| capabilities.)
