I wouldn't say that sucess or failure of linux depends on nice user apps. Anyone who gets a computer and learns to walk on some proprietary os, and then has any desire to put his computer to use doing something will quickly out grow spoon-feed style user apps and want decent construction environment. Linux currenlty rocks as a construction environment.

I agree that Linux rocks as a construction enviroment, but that is not enough to make standard people use Linux, that's why most people uses Windows or Mac OS; not for performance but for being "e-z of use".

In the article I said deployment would start in January, 2002. Well, it just started in November. For those familiar with government projects, even being on-time is unheard of. I'm impressed.

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.
