Given 250,000 tools on the shelf, how do you manage them?
,----[ Quote ]
| About 15 years ago I noticed that the
| explosion of ready to use FOSS tools plus the
| trend toward general purpose tools and away
| from custom software was leading to a
| combinatorial crisis in software maintenance.
| I saw that it was the systems administratorâs
| responsibility to address the situation.
|
| It has become apparent to me that the solution
| would require use of convention, standards and
| policy to reduce the complexity of the problem
| to manageable proportions. I searched for the
| most âstandardizedâ conventions and policy-
| enforcing environment that would also provide
| the most flexible access to the most FOSS
| tools. The solution I found is Debian/GNU
| Linux, the universal operating system
| (although Ubuntu and other Debian derivatives
| also provide most of these benefits as well).

Finding Linux Systems Where They Never Were Found Before

| I regularly receive a catalog from Tiger Direct in the mail Up until very
| recently every system, desktop and laptop, in their catalog ran Windows and
| sported a Windows logo in the ad. While the majority still do a half a dozen
| laptops, all low-end netbooks, are sold with Linux preinstalled and the Tux
| logo is prominently featured in some of the ads. Linux netbooks by Sylvania,
| Asus, HP, and Acer are all prominently advertised alongside Windows systems.
| Searching for Linux on their website reveals additional models available
| preloaded with Linux.
