Excellent article and topic. I'm always looking for new ways to experiment with keeping atop my tasks.

http://freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Main_Page works well for me. Cross platform was important so I can let windows users update the lists. I use it as a hierarchiel todo manager. Tasks organized by town primarily. someone else might use it tasks sorted by class or customer or however they want.

I put a little crop of mine without any useful information here:

Yeah, Freemind is cool! I sometimes use it to capture longer notes. =) By the way, someone's gotten Freemind to work with Emacs Planner...

Bad QuickStart URL

The URL for QuickStart is misspelled, it should be Quick instead of Quck, like this:

http://www.emacswiki.org/cgi-bin/wiki/PlannerModeQuickStart

You get a page with a header but no content if you use the bad link.

I hope this is a temporary thing, like they took the site down for maintenance. Or perhaps they got lj'd (too popular).

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.
