Are there not enough netbooks in the world?

| his “standardization” has left PC makers to differentiate their offerings

| 1000 Mi generated excellent buzz by offering a highly customized and
| über-slick Ubuntu Linux experience that, alas, remains unavailable to the
| Filipino market), and, of course, cosmetic details (the unbelievably slim
| Sony Vaio P series, which the company refuses to call a netbook).

Linux: Lean on Me
,----[ Quote ]
| I received a newsletter from rPath concerning Lean IT and it occurred to me
| that Linux is the keystone in each one of the elements listed in it:
| Virtualization, Cloud Computing and Cost reduction mandates. As more
| businesses work toward saving money, they'll look for ways to save on IT
| infrastructure (Hardware), labor and external services.
|
| All of those cost-cutting changes point suspiciously to Linux.

CentOS 5.3 Has Keen Focus on Virtualization
,----[ Quote ]
| CentOS is based on Red Hat's Enterprise Linux source packages and shares in
| recent RHEL virtualization, application development, security and storage
| improvements. Many of the enhancements in CentOS 5.3 come in the area of
| virtualization, targeted largely at scalability on large host machines.
|
| CentOS, the popular community-supported clone of Red Hat Enterprise Linux,
| reached Version 5.3 in March, some three months after its parent
| distribution, RHEL 5.3, began shipping.

rPath CTO and Founder Erik Troan on the Future of Open Source
,----[ Quote ]
| Simplifying things greatly, Linux and Apache came along and shifted the focus
| of open source development towards production applications. Of course, Linux
| is now used by companies of all shapes and sizes for mission critical
| applications. The Apache web server is used by, well, basically everyone to
| make the web work. Those projects, and others which complete open source
| operating systems, have transformed how companies procure, deploy, and manage
| production infrastructure.
|
| Now that Linux and its related projects have become so standard, an
| interesting change is occurring: More and more open source projects are once
| again targeting developers.
