Today Linux is no more an option, it is a necessity
,----[ Quote ]
| Dataquest: Has Linux truly made inroads into
| the enterprise segment or is it just a hype?

| Tirthankar Mitra: We have seen more adoption of
| Linux in the mainstream applications, by which
| I mean that there are various initiatives that
| customers have taken across verticals starting
| from banking, financial services, telecom, and
| government. Open source has made tremendous
| inroads into the enterprise space because of
| its very nature of business model.

Mandriva offers 10 second boot with InstantOn
,----[ Quote ]
| Mandrivaâs solution is called InstantOn and it
| looks to be a cut down version of Linux. The
| boot time is gauged at just 10 seconds or less,
| however, that is for an SSD storage solution,
| so you are probably looking at 15-20 seconds on
| a normal hard drive. Still, thatâs pretty fast
| when you consider some alternatives such as
| Vista, with Windows 7 fairing slightly better.

DeviceVM brings search to its âinstant-onâ Splashtop software
,----[ Quote ]
| San Jose, Calif.-based DeviceVM might also find itself competing with Google
| next year, when the search giant releases Chrome OS , a fast, lightweight
| operating system aimed at getting users onto the web â if Chrome OS is
| everything Google promises, it could make software like Splashtop less
| necessary. Meanwhile, competitors like Xandros are also announcing new
| products . But Bottoms says Splashtop has the advantage of already being
| installed on 10 million computers, due to partnerships with HP, Acer, Lenovo,
| ASUS, Sony, and LG.
