Linux and the Power of Virtual Mega-Machines
,----[ Quote ]
| Currently, the vast majority of workloads
| requiring a large number of processing cores
| or large memory have already moved or are in
| the process of moving to Linux.
|
| These once-proprietary Unix applications have
| been relatively easy to migrate or are
| increasingly being written for a Linux or open
| source operating system alternative. This
| makes it inherently easier for these workloads
| to move to x86 infrastructure, providing more
| flexibility in their deployment models and
| giving customers the ability to take advantage
| of higher-performance and lower-cost
| commoditized systems.

Virtual Appliances Offer Fast Sandboxes, Production Environments
,----[ Quote ]
| One of the most obvious benefits of free and
| open source software is the ability to
| download world-class software and implement it
| gratis on your system. But, sometimes, there
| is a big difference between theory and action.
|
| I'm not talking about installing desktop
| applications like Firefox, OpenOffice.org, or
| GIMP. Most of the Linux distributions have by
| now made this process newbie-simple, and
| Windows and Mac systems have never had a
| problem with installation. Rather, I am
| talking about complex server systems, like
| Ruby on Rails, Tomcat, Joomla!, or Drupal.
| Regardless of platform, getting one of these
| instances running can range from a bit tricky
| to downright hair-pulling.
