White Paper
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.

Free Webinar: Linux Backup and Recovery
Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to “bare metal.” After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

[HOWTO] Guru Labs Guide to Linux and Bluetooth Dialup networking
Closely related to this article, you may be interested in the Guru Labs Guide to Linux and Bluetooth Dialup Networking.
The Guide covers the steps needed to get your laptop on the internet over a Bluetooth connection to a Treo 650.
You can read the guide here.
Just an update...
I hope that this article has been helpful to those looked through it. I would like to add that there have been some modifications to the Bluetooth syncinh procedure since I have applied the new Sprint patch. I am running a rom from Shadowmite's site that contains the new Sprint update. I have not needed to run my "treoconnect" script as mentioned in the article. All I needed to do was connect through KPilot and have the Bluetooth setting set to on, on my treo. In fact, if I had already connected through the the treoconnect script you will probably get a serial error. I hope that this helps anyone who is running the new update and this article isn't helping them out.
Just a note, I have seen other Bluetooth related problems with this update. My headset no longer auto-links when I make a call...which is fairly annoying. You may want to check your hardware support prior to the update.

Looks really simple, just recompile your kernel, execute a few arcane commands, write a few scripts, cross your fingers and pray for connectivity.
Linux Mobile Phone Survey
This report is included into the TuxMobil - Linux and Mobile (Cell) Phones Survey.
Why didn't you include this other howto?
Why didn't you link to or include this other howto which has a lot more screenshots and details? According to that page, this guy's howto has been around since late 2003.

Does it use SyncML? If yes, how well does it work with free Linux friendly SyncML services such as ScheduleWorld?
SyncML will NEVER be used in Linux, period!
SyncML is an "open" (as in mostly-documented) technology, riddled with patents and proprietary technology. The licensing specifically forbids it from being used in any Free Software or OSS projects.
Syncronizing over Bluetooth with your Treo650 (or any other Bluetooth-enabled PalmOS device) does not use SyncML.
"Implementation of all or part of any Specification may require licenses under third party intellectual property rights, including without limitation, patent rights (such a third party may or may not be a Supporter). The Sponsors of the Specification are not responsible and shall not be held responsible in any manner for identifying or failing to identify any or all such third party intellectual property rights."
SyncML for GPL SW
How do you explain the availablility of SyncML for Open-Xchange, the (excellent) GPL groupware server?
What a shame - that with the patents ...
I didn't know that this SyncML has so many restrictions. It came to my attention, when I ordered a web-hosting and got this "Sync" for free. If I wanted, I could use it with GPRS and my latest Siemens Phone. Well, well - what a shame ... that with the patents.
