Toshiba NB100 for Linux

Sep 23, 2008  By Phil Hughes

It seems that lots of people are talking about Toshiba's NB100 mini-laptop but they are just talking about it appearing in the UK market in October. What The Register has to say is as good as any.

Of interest to us is that is ships with Ubuntu 8.04 and prices start at 260 pounds sterling. Missing is when or if it will hit the US market.

Linux Sucks

So if you can be bothered to read this, you either are defending Linux the worlds worst OS or you know the truth and want to agree.
To all Linux users; why bother?

1) Linux ALWAYS crashes!! ALWAYS!! It is just a matter of time before you will lose all your personal files in a apocalyptic fashion.

2) Use Linux and be prepared for the mindset of:

a) I must persist in battling for hours on the internet, trying to find information to solve the most menial tasks that never happened to me until I used Linux. Umm this is because Linux really is the best, it is better than me. I am stupid and it's my fault it just beeps stupidly at me. The only thing stupider than me is Windows and Mac OS which work - Tch how stupid.

b) I want to spend my life on forums! It will be great fun searching for answers to problems that never occur in Mac or Windows OS. But that makes Linux better right? Hopefully I'll find a "topic" with my problem closely related to it. I'll ask a question and then I can enjoy being publicly humiliated by someone who already knew the answer and says it is really obvious. Stupid me! They are better than me. They know Linux better! Stupid me. How ashamed!!

3) And this one really counts!! How often have all you Linux loving, Windows and Mac hating forum groupies spent logged into; Windows or Mac OS searching for solutions to your broken Linux OS problems? Why because the almighty Linux system just died on you!

I hope this saves many people many miserable hours :-)

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.
