Not sexy, but thriving
,----[ Quote ]
| Good news for enterprise business
| applications companies is that open source
| software firms are thriving. Red Hat, the
| world's leading provider of open source
| solutions, saw growth in total revenue of
| 12%, to $183.6 million for its fiscal year
| 2010 second quarter ended 31 August 2009.
| Subscription revenue for the quarter was
| $156.3 million, up 15% year-over-year. It
| appears that when budgets are tight, open
| source becomes increasingly popular, so much
| so that even traditional software companies
| are exploring open source, particularly after
| IBM and Oracle threw their lot in with Linux.

Fedora 12 rocks on tablets
,----[ Quote ]
| Got a tablet, or want to get one, but not
| sure itâs going to work out in Linux? Hereâs
| how my Thinkpad x61âs built-in Wacom tablet
| works in Fedora 12 Beta:

| * Tablet pressure sensitivity out-of-the-
| box, no xorg.conf needed! (Well okay, so
| thatâs been the case for a couple Fedora
| releases now ;-) )

Fedora 12: Crunch time

| The bottom line is, the more testing the
| better; just run F12 code anywhere you can and
| let us know where itâs broken. Information is

Fedora 12 vs. Ubuntu 9.10 Benchmarks
,----[ Quote ]
| In many of the tests Ubuntu 9.10 had carried
| the lead -- both by small and large margins --
| but the Karmic Koala had stumbled when it came
| to the OpenGL performance, PostgreSQL, and NASA
| NPB. Of those areas, the OpenGL performance is
| the most intriguing with such a dramatic
| difference when using the same exact graphics
| driver from NVIDIA, which we will continue to
| explore and run other OpenGL tests available
| through the Phoronix Test Suite.

A Few Of Fedora 12's Coming Features
,----[ Quote ]
| Fedora 12's public beta is now out -- what
| timing, right? -- and while a cursory glance
| at the feature list as a whole doesn't sport
| anything revolutionary, there's more than a
| few goodies worth singling out.

| Fedora 12 has a lot of compelling technical | improvements under the hood. The new
| virtualization features and netbook-related
| enhancements are particularly impressive and
| will bring a lot of value to the distro.
