Top 24 Linux Apps
,----[ Quote ]
| Though Linux comes in many different flavors, there are a common string of
| favorite apps that seem to unite all users.
|
| These apps are high-quality, versatile, professional, reliable, and often
| available in many different packages (deb, rpm, etc). If you're new to the
| Linux game, or simply want a list of programs that have been re-verified as
| excellent by many hundreds of users, this article is for you. To download and
| install the apps, just go to your built-in package manager.

A look at the server GUI argument
,----[ Quote ]
| People who do use a GUI should do so knowing the risks of exploitations and
| security and try to keep a system updated and use the GUI only when needed.
|
| If you aren't actively sitting at the machine, stop the x server until you
| need to use it again. This will go a long way to improving overall
| resourcefulness and productivity.
|
| It doesn't need to be a fight. Use the system how it works best for you. Just
| make sure you know all the facts going in to be the best prepared as
| possible.

Clusters That Produce: 25 Open HPC Applications
,----[ Quote ]
| Everyone knows applications drive the HPC boat. It is one thing to run
| benchmarks and burn-in programs, but when it is time for production work,
| applications take over. Fortunately, there are many applications that can
| take advantage of clusters. These applications can be divided into three
| oversimplified categories.
|
| Â Â * Sequential Applications - These applications run on a single core.
| Â Â While they may not be parallel (use multiple cores) the end user may run
| Â Â many copies of the same program with different input parameters. This
| Â Â type of computing is often called parametric processing. These types of
| Â Â programs can be written in any type of computer language.
| Â Â * Threaded Applications - These applications use multiple cores, but only
| Â Â on one SMP node. Most of these programs are written using C/C++ or
| Â Â Fortran and use pthreads or OpenMP - As core counts increase many HPC
| Â Â users are taking advantage of this approach.

Cost is just a part of the value equation
,----[ Quote ]
| There is a two-horse race in the market, wherein one segment is dominated by
| the Windows platform while the other caters to the Linux platform in terms of
| market share, unit shipment, revenue, etc. If you look at Linux, Red Hat has
| pretty much emerged as the biggest player in this space and, depending upon
| which geography you are in, the numbers are as high as 95%.
