SEATTLE, WA -- SSC Publications, publisher of the award-winning monthly magazine Linux Journal, is pleased to announce the release of the May Linux Journal (number 109), the annual kernel internals issue.

"Once again the kernel internals issue has the bang to transfix experienced and aspiring kernel hackers alike," said Carlie Fairchild, VP of Marketing & Sales. "Readers count on Linux Journal to bring them the most reliable technical Linux content available in any publication.

"First off, LJ's editor in chief, Don Marti, and preemptible kernel hacker, Robert Love, each provide their own unique insights into kernel 2.6 - what to expect, how to best exploit it and how to get involved in improving it.

"We are also pleased to have Hans Reiser go in-depth on Reiser4, one of several innovative new file systems in kernel 2.6.

"Toshiyuki Maeda's article on Kernel Mode Linux will interest readers who need raw speed more than anything else, as well as those doing critical embedded applications. He explains how to make any application into a part of the kernel.

"Dave Phillips is on-board again this month sharing his infinite knowledge of Linux's audio capabilities. In this issue he provides a massive roundup of softsynths, software that uses a bewildering array of techniques to turn a Linux box into a truly professional synthesizer studio.

"This issue contains much more technical content, including Linux Journal's standard columns. Two of many are Reuven M. Lerner's At the Forge: a dive into Plone, the killer app that might bring Zope-based content management to the masses, and Doc Searls' Linux for Suits: an outlook for Linux's final push into mainstream corporate culture.

"Of course," concluded Fairchild, "this is just a taste of the wide range of news, articles, interviews, features and reviews that our readers will find in Linux Journal each and every month."

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.
