Allow VirtMus to RIP

Speaking as a musician, this software is poorly designed. Foot switch? Yes, it's USB, and it's already in use thank you. Page turning should me linked to the metronome. The preferred storage format is MIDI, not pdf or jpg. This is
pretty useless. Revive PowerTab, port it to linux, make the format open source, then you'd have something musicians have been asking for.

Most purchased sheet music comes with viewers. Dont forget that most sheet music is copywritten. Real musicians (even us shoestring budget garage bands) will pay. When I publish, I want my royalties, too.

We also mentioned, but it unfortunately wasn't in the final cut, our LJ Insider theme song was written by a Lullabot. :)

As long as we are talking about how awesome our Drupal cover story is, I should point out that LinuxJournal.com is a Drupal site, and I am a very happy Drupal user. Learning curve, shmerning curve. ;)

White Paper
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.

White Paper
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.
