eMusic.com also provides a Linux version of their downloader. All of their music is DRM-free. Granted, their catalog isn't as expansive but they have a good selection of lesser known and niche styles. Hopefully Amie Street follows suit soon. They have a great selection of Indie.

You might want to do a second tip discussing CLAMZ, http://code.google.com/p/clamz/, which is an open-source downloader which works where the Amazon providing one does not, for example, the latest Fedora release.

Clamz is fantastic! I came to the site to recommend it when I read the Amazon thing in the mag.

No sound

Hi,

I always use the .ogv format to watch these most interesting casts.
Since a few casts I don't have any sound???
Is this me?
I use the FF 3.5.3 on window XP and this plays the ogv files inside the browser.
I did not change anything on my PC's (the ogv file is soundless both at work and at home)
It used to play Ok but since a few casts back no sound.

I hope this can be fixed.

I noticed that downloading the clip and playing it in VLC solves my issue.
Must be something wrong with native video playback in firefox 3.5.3 it used to work before.

The 32-bit version of the Amazon downloader runs fine on 64-bit.

But requires 32 bit

But requires 32 bit libraries that not installed on a 64 bit distro.

So it won't run fine on a 64 bit system unless you do more work.

nice, but...

You have to be in the USA to use this service. Might just as well be with DRM.

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.
