How can a commercial editor compete with all the free products that the Linux Community has access to? In this article, Robert Broughton helps us decide whether to spend our money on this Brief-turned-shareware-turned-commercial editor.
The Bottom Line

Crisp is sold with a variety of license arrangements. The one that will be of interest to most Linux users will be the single-user, single-execution license. The price for this will probably be $99US for either the character or

X-Windows version, and the manual (useful, but not essential) will be another $40. The international agent

for Crisp is Vital, and they can be reached by e-mail at owner-crisp-list@uunet.uu.net.

Robert Broughton (a1040@mindlink.bc.ca) has been developing software for 22 years, and has been using Linux since February, 1993. He is employed by Zadall Systems Group, in Burnaby, BC, Canada.

I purchased Crisp in April 2003 and while I am really happy
with the colorization and the brief feel I think the product is quite buggy and not completely tested; I had quick good feedback from the developers but the menus dissapear (without the possibility of recovering them), search doesn't seem to be reliable and grep locks up; overall and in retrospect I am unhappy with it. Bets vi, though.

Crisp is the best

I have been using Crisp since 1999 and I've never wanted another editor. It is possible to recover from odd settings, just a case of renaming the settings folder so it re-creates it as the default settings.
It is worth the money, nothing in the shareware/freeware world compares.

Fabric-Based Computing Enables Optimized Hyperscale Data Centers

Today’s modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a “one size fits all” enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy

Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6

Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
