Scientific Linux - It blinded me with science!
,----[ Quote ]
| The credits for the catchy title go to
| legendary Thomas Dolby, but the real thanks
| go to the team of scientists, engineers and
| geeks at CERN, who developed this
| distribution.
|
| If you're into science, you will, sooner or
| later, run into Linux. Any serious
| mathematical, computational work is done on
| Linux. From amazing 3D movies to simulating
| the Big Bang over to crunching sparse
| matrices in a cloud and folding proteins at
| home, it all comes down to using Linux. As a
| single host, Linux is merely a machine, but
| it starts to shine in its hundreds and
| thousands.
|
| [...]
|
| I was tremendously pleased with Scientific
| Linux. First, it's a RedHat distro, which
| means you get the classic Linux usage model,
| excellent stability and many years of
| support. Second, it has everything you need
| - multimedia, desktop effects, Samba
| sharing, anything.

Red Hat's CEO expects a rosy future
,----[ Quote ]
| When Jim Whitehurst was named CEO of Red
| Hat, some Wall Street analysts had doubts
| because of his lack of experience running a
| software company.
|
| Those doubts have been erased by the Raleigh
| company's performance since Whitehurst,
| previously the chief operating officer at
| Delta Air Lines, took over in 2007.
| Throughout the recession, the company posted
| double-digit revenue growth. Its stock,
| meanwhile, has doubled since last March.

Open source needs successful champions
,----[ Quote ]
| The open source industry needs profitable
| champions to demonstrate success, and
| attract funding and participation in open
| source, according to Red Hat CEO.
|
| In an interview with ZDNet Asia Wednesday,
| Jim Whitehurst said revenue models of open
| source proponents such as Red Hat itself and
| Google, have brought success to the
| respective companies and allowed them to
| contribute back to the open source
| community. Google relies on ad-based
| revenue, while Red Hat's revenue runs on a
| subscription model.

Red Hat pitches x64 virtualization with KVM rollout
,----[ Quote ]
| Commercial Linux distributor Red Hat today
| got its freestanding, bare-metal Enterprise
| Virtualization hypervisor, a hardened
| version of the KVM hypervisor it took
| control of last summer, to market. That
| makes Red Hat a player as x64 servers the
| world over are set for a massive wave of
| virtualization.

| There are a slew of press releases and demo
| videos. They even had a webcast press
| conference. Oh, and hey, they also released
| all of the manuals too.
