HP's Linux OS Alternative Gets a Face Lift
,----[ Quote ]
| Sun's UNIX ecosystem was thrown into turmoil
| following the company's acquisition by
| Oracle. A big question mark remains over the
| future of Solaris and OpenSolaris server
| operating systems. In contrast, IBM and HP,
| the other two big enterprise UNIX players,
| have been plodding along steadily, hoping all
| the while to pick up disaffected Sun
| customers quicker than they lose their own to
| Linux implementations.
|
| Let's focus on HP (NYSE: HPQ). Linux leaves
| the company in a rather tricky situation.
| That's because HP is a big fan of the open
| source server software -- it's a phenomenon
| too big to ignore. But it also sells UNIX, so
| it has to be careful not to cannibalize its
| UNIX sales by promoting Linux too hard. In
| other words, HP's UNIX and Linux staff must
| push their respective lines of business
| without unduly dissing their opposite
| numbers.

Taking a look at PC-BSD 8.0
,----[ Quote ]
| While on the topic of other operating systems,
| it's hard for me, as a long-time Linux user,
| not to constantly compare PC-BSD to the
| penguin. Usually, these comparisons turn out
| favourably for PC-BSD. For example, PC-BSD
| runs faster on my systems than most of the
| full-sized Linux distributions and it
| generally used less memory. My notebook has an
| Intel video card and it's a card that has
| tripped up some of the more popular distros,
| but PC-BSD handled it without any problems.
| Likewise, sound worked on both of my machines
| without any tweaking, a feat Linux isn't
| always able to match. Some people might not
| like the PBI self-contained packaging
| approach, but the OS supports more traditional
| forms of package management, ensuring PBI
| files do not have to be used.
