GMO Internet Group Selects DRBD for Their Aisle 24/7 Hosting Solution 

,----[ Quote ]
| GMO had to consider their primary 
| applications: MySQL, Postgres, and Apache. 
| To define their direction, GMO queried the 
| community to find what they are using for 
| their Linux-based replication needs. With 
| DRBD's reputation and recent acceptance 
| into the Linux Kernel (2.6.33), LINBIT came 
| with high recommendation from the experts. 
| DRBD's ease of use, absence of vendor lock-
| in, simple installation and upgrade path 
| made GMO's decision a simple one.

3D Avatar - Linux Supercomputer - Of Course

,----[ Quote ]
| Having read about the super-computing power
| required to make the 3D film "Avatar", and
| that the O/S on that system was of course
| Linux, I went to see it. Well, to be
| honest, I was going to see it anyway with
| my wife and granddaughter. On a previous
| blog someone asked whether GNU/Linux gets
| any mention in the credits.
