gOS Android G2 Tribute PC

Time's running out to get your hands on this cute little green dude that runs gOS Linux.

Remember our March 2008 cover featuring David Liu and gOS? David Liu's "good" OS, known for shipping pre-installed on the low-cost Linux machine that infamously sold out at Wal-Mart, gets a lot of its pizazz and usability from its prominent use of Google gadgets and apps, and thus gOS pays tribute to the release of Android, Google's new mobile operating system poised to put Linux in the hands of millions of smartphone users with this custom built PC by Eric Burke. Read more about it over at the gOS blog.

The auction ends on Oct 30 at 3:58 PDT, so don't forget to place your bid if you want this little guy for yourself. Proceeds will be donated to DonorsChoose.org via the TechCrunch Challenge.

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.
