Linux, football and nitrogen: perfect mix for sports tech company
,----[ Quote ]
| What do football, Linux and nitrogen have in common with each other? Quite a
| lot, it seems, as far as start up company Kinetic Performance Technology is
| concerned. The company formed six years ago and is now behind some of the
| nation's top footballers and athletes. We speak with one of its co-founders
| in the first part of a series that will focus on successful technology
| start-ups.
|
| [...]
|
| What technology do you use in your developing, I understand that Linux plays
| a large part?
|
| The Altitude room runs on a Linux server. We program it all in Python and it
| runs on an Apache web server so its all open source. Our other product,
| GymAware is an Apache mod-Python Web application with a MySQL database
| backend.
|
| Kinetic's network infrastructure runs on Linux with Samba, Subversion and
| automated backups aided by Python. We use eclipse to run our development
| environment, and rely on plenty of support from the open source community.

IBM Launches Power6+ Servers--Again

| The Power 520 can also have for Power6 or Power6+ cores if customers want to
| double up their performance. While both i5/OS V5R4 and its kicker, i 6.1 were
| both supported on Power6-based machines, the new Power 520 with the Power6+
| chip can only use i 6.1. However, IBM's AIX 5.3 and 6.1 as well as Novell's
| SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP1 or later and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4
| Update 5 or 5 Update 1 (or later) can run on these this box. So it looks like
| the lack of support for i5/OS V5R4 is a marketing, not a technical, move.
