Cisco becomes a major Linux server vendor overnight

| I wrote about Cisco's contest last June as Cisco's
| way of paying developers to stick a finger in the
| Microsoft eye with a $100,000 bounty for writing
| Linux-based applications for its AXP (Application
| Extension Platform).
|
| I clearly underestimated Cisco's ambitions.

Cisco, Red Hat in the Cloud: Friends or Enemies?
,----[ Quote ]
| What is the operating system of the cloud? Linux vendor Red Hat would like it
| to be Linux. But networking giant Cisco, despite working closely with Red Hat
| in a number of areas, may be going another direction entirely.
|
| Both Red Hat (NYSE: RHT) and Cisco (NASDAQ: CSCO) were busy last week with
| their own respective cloud-related initiatives. Red Hat launched a new cloud
| certification program while Cisco outlined its go-to-market cloud strategy.
| Is there an intersection between the two vendors and their cloud initiatives?

Cisco offers Linksys 802.11n router with Linux
,----[ Quote ]
| The choice of Linux still allows for media sharing and, through USB storage,
| can share media to any computer or other device that recognizes UPnP.
| Security is also as advanced as other routers with a single-button Wi-Fi
| Protected Setup link for those computers that support it. Cisco's latest
| hardware should be available today and sells for $120.

Cisco releases Linux-powered 802.11n router and media-server
,----[ Quote ]
| At first glance that may not seem that interesting. But, this isnât just a
| new Wi-Fi router with Linux. Cisco, via its Linksys subsidiary has long been
| offering users Linux-powered, hackable Wi-Fi routers like the WRT54GL. But,
| this one also includes integrated Storage Link functionality that lets you
| use inexpensive USB storage devices as NAS (Network Attached Storage) and a
| built-in media-sharing server that Cisco says can handle video, photo, and
| music sharing.

Cisco AXP Contest Field Narrowed to Top 10
,----[ Quote ]
| Companies are growing more comfortable with the concept of open source
| development, but they don't always approach it in the same way. Some try to
| build communities; some try to work in-house first then slowly branch out,
| and some just jump in with both feet and swim in the deep end from day one.

Cisco finds that it's not so easy working with Microsoft

| Apparently Microsoft has "taken limited steps to share users' presence and

Why the world needs openness, not interoperability.
,----[ Quote ]
| This NAC/NAP lovefest would be laughable if it weren't such
| a kick-in-the-teeth to the rest of the industry, enterprise IT, and
| all Internet users. A Cisco/Microsoft oligopoly stalls implementation,
| stifles innovation, and makes the network less secure. In this way, Cisco
| and Microsoft are standing in the way of progress.
