Cloud computing with Linux thin clients
,----[ Quote ]
| Usefulness, however, is not always the primary factor that determines
| wide-scale adoption. A more accurate determination can be made in terms of
| absolute cost—especially when adoption is considered in developing countries—
| as well as relative cost in relation to value. A client's thinness bears a
| direct relationship to its cost, because less capable systems are less
| expensive to produce. Similarly, the cost of cloud-based software is directly
| related to its large-scale adoption.

| The next iteration of Ubuntu Linux will really help companies lift up into
| the clouds.

| The April 30 release of Ubuntu Server will have the ability to migrate
| KVM-based virtual machines from one physical server to another, similar to
| VMware's ability to use VMotion to migrate virtual machines, said Steve
| George, director of the enterprise group at Linux supplier Canonical.

Cloudera CEO: Hadoop, Open Source and the Cloud
,----[ Quote ]
| But Cloudera has heavyweight backing. It has raised money from venture
| capital group Accel Partners (though admittedly only a tepid $5 million). And
| its array of additional investors reads like a list of tech glitterati,
| including Marten Mickos, former MySQL CEO, and Diane Green, former VMware
| CEO.

Cloudera floats commercial Hadoop distro
,----[ Quote ]
| The analogy with Linux is plain enough: They want something akin to the

Hadoop: Funny Name, Powerful Software
,----[ Quote ]
| Doug Cutting was a work-at-home dad plugging away at open source search code
| when he had a light-bulb moment that led him to create Hadoop, an open source
| adaptation of Google's MapReduce. Now, Yahoo is using Hadoop for all kinds of
| high-power computing functions.

Yahoo's Hadoop software transforming the way data is analyzed
,----[ Quote ]
| Cutting, a 44-year-old programmer who had helped build search engines at
| Apple and Excite, had started the search project in 2000 because he wanted
| his code to live on. He knew that closed-source projects, where software is
| treated as a corporate secret, had a way of dying. With open source, the code
| is published and other programmers can contribute suggestions and help fix
| bugs.
