Sun Microsystems Hopes to Shake Up Storage Industry
,----[ Quote ]
| In the early part of this decade, Sun learned all too well just how
| disruptive these factors can be. Customers moved away from products built on
| Sun’s own proprietary microprocessors and software to cheaper servers that
| relied on Intel processors and the open source Linux operating system. While
| larger customers still wanted Sun’s high-end hardware for some tasks, the
| Intel-and-Linux combination could satisfy the majority of most customers’
| needs.

VirtualBox: A Review
,----[ Quote ]
| Overall, VirtualBox is an excellent application for virtualizing your
| favorite operating systems. I use it to virtually run all of the operating
| systems that we talk about here on LinuxHow2, such as Ubuntu, Fedora, Gentoo,
| and PCLinuxOS. Virtual machines are a great way to test new operating
| systems, sandbox an OS, and quickly wipe out and reinstall problem operating
| systems; it's becoming common to virtual an operating system, because of the
| speed of use, and because said operating system does not directly interfere
| with the host OS, if it's infected with viruses (as is often the case with
| Windows) or you just plain don't need it anymore, it's as simple as one click
| to delete it off your system for good.

Review: OliveBSD turns OpenBSD into very usable live CD
,----[ Quote ]
| Back to the apps. Besides Firefox for Web browsing, there's Thunderbird for
| mail, the GIMP for image processing, SciTE for text editing, Xmms for audio
| playback, Gaim for text messaging, ghostview and Xpdf, Axyftp, the Abs
| spreadsheet, the TightVNC viewer, CD-Rchive and a few more. There's enough
| for me to get my work done, and that's pretty much all I ask.
