Lockheed-Martin & IronKey Release Virtual Privacy Machine on a USB Stick
,----[ Quote ]
| Most VPM's are forged from hardened versions
| of Linux on a diet due to flash drive size
| constraints. USB 3.0, SLC flash, and larger
| flash drives have all, but removed this limit
| and embedded versions of more full featured,
| user friendly versions of Linux are popping
| up. While it may seem extreme, maintaining
| corporate intellectual property and securing
| assets from disgruntled employees can mean big
| bucks in today's bleeding edge world. Look for
| the rapid proliferation of ideas like this in
| the years to come.

Sourceforge's Mirrored Content Gets a Hand
,----[ Quote ]
| With over 180,000 open source projects in its repository, SourceForge.net has
| a lot of files it needs to track and serve.
|
| It can become a challenge to manage all those downloads. For the most part,
| Sourceforge relies on a system of globally distributed mirror sites that help
| to deliver open source application files and programs to users.

| but be impressed with just how far open source has come in the past decade.
