Linux Rules - Literally

Tell me this isn't the coolest ruler ever.
Carlie Fairchild is the publisher of Linux Journal.
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.

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.

How to Build an Optimal Hadoop Cluster to Store and Maintain Unlimited Amounts of Data Using Microservers
Realizing the promise of Apache® Hadoop® requires the effective deployment of compute, memory, storage and networking to achieve optimal results. With its flexibility and multitude of options, it is easy to over or under provision the server infrastructure, resulting in poor performance and high TCO. Join us for an in depth, technical discussion with industry experts from leading Hadoop and server companies who will provide insights into the key considerations for designing and deploying an optimal Hadoop cluster.
Some of key questions to be discussed are:
- What is the “typical” Hadoop cluster and what should be installed on the different machine types?
- Why should you consider the typical workload patterns when making your hardware decisions?
- Are all microservers created equal for Hadoop deployments?
- How do I plan for expansion if I require more compute, memory, storage or networking?

Linus Rules - Finally
OK. Cool!!
When are the subscribers going to get theirs?
Linus Rules
I want one!
In fact I want several to scatter around the offices :)
I agree
They're fun/ny. :-D
We only got a couple of hundred made up so the only places to get one would be at the LJ Shop or if you find one of the LJ crew at SxSW this week in Austin, TX, then ask them. They're each carrying a small handful around and will happily give you one.

This is pretty cool, I
This is pretty cool, I didn't even realize there was an LJShop until I read this post. Seems I'll be buying one of these rulers and a few other bits while I'm at it! Linux rocks!
