SEATTLE, WA -- SSC Publications, publisher of the award-winning magazine Linux Journal and its bi-monthly sister publication Embedded Linux Journal, is proud to announce that John Sullivan of Virginia was selected from over 200 entries as the winner of Linux Journal's recent contest, "Win a trip for two on Linux Lunacy".

A Linux Journal subscriber since 1998, John Sullivan has also been an avid Linux user for the past five years. This can be proven simply by looking at some of the ways Sullivan has put Linux to work: workstation, webserver, search engine, statistical analysis, and home automation. "I would like to thank all the people and companies who make Linux and Open Source software a viable alternative to proprietary software. It makes my job easier and much more fun," commented Sullivan.

Linux Lunacy, a conference produced by Geek Cruises and Linux Journal, will take place in October 2001 aboard Holland America's Eastern Caribbean cruise. For additional information on this and other conferences by Geek Cruises please visit http://www.geekcruises.com/.

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.
