Linux Journal Insider - July 2010
Linux Journal Insider is your monthly peek at what to expect from the new issue of Linux Journal, before it even hits the newsstands. This month we discuss enterprise Linux! Shawn Powers and Kyle Rankin give you the inside scoop on topics and articles. Feel free to listen right here in your browser with the fancy embedded audio player, or subscribe to the FEED with your favorite podcast software. Either way, we hope you enjoy it!

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.

White Paper
Private PaaS for the Agile Enterprise
If you already use virtualized infrastructure, you are well on your way to leveraging the power of the cloud. Virtualization offers the promise of limitless resources, but how do you manage that scalability when your DevOps team doesn’t scale? In today’s hypercompetitive markets, fast results can make a difference between leading the pack vs. obsolescence. Organizations need more benefits from cloud computing than just raw resources. They need agility, flexibility, convenience, ROI, and control.
Stackato private Platform-as-a-Service technology from ActiveState extends your private cloud infrastructure by creating a private PaaS to provide on-demand availability, flexibility, control, and ultimately, faster time-to-market for your enterprise.

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?

FYI, page 15 of my magazine shows the apt-get cow image, but there isn't any transparency. Same with my PDF copy. Thanks for preemptively answering the question anyways.

Letter Section: Re: Legally Using Linux
Nice story about the apt-get moo image but you forgot to discuss the "Re: Legally Using Linux" letter which had an Editor's comment saying that it would be discussed in this podcast. I'm probably the only one who cares... because I wrote the letter. :)

Legally using Linux
I was the one who discovered that the word "Linux" had been registered as a trademark by someone other than Linus back in 1996 or 1997, which spearheaded a world-wide funds raising effort to do legal battle and get Linus to internationally register the trademark (which he was of course, opposed to having to do, but eventually accepted as a necessary evil). And so, while I've been out of the open source loop for a while (and yes, I was at that name-choosing meeting) I hope that "Linux" is still copyleft, and therefore free, everywhere.

I mean this of course, ironically. Linux has taken over the embedded world as the established player, and is open, everywhere, whether the end user knows it or not. Usually not.
Spreading Information
I second an interest in Legally using GNU+Linux.
But the reason for this post is to report that it is possible for those non-geeks who do care about the devices that they buy, to know that those devices run GNU+Linux or not. A co-worker of mine has been looking at the Droid phone (by Motorola?) and this guy did all his own research and only confirmed his information with me. The information being "What is Android" and other such questions. I did in the end tell him that for me Meego looks to be a much more friendly OS but we will have to wait and see for that.
