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.

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.

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?

Been using this from the day I started using Linux, seriously didn't you guys sniff through most of the menus when you came into this wondrous world? ;) I find the clickfocus of windows a major pain in the ass.
Windoze
For Windows converts the concept is probably so foreign that many might not have recognized the meaning of the option even if they had seen it. Not sure if the Mac offers those capabilities or not, probably not given how strictly they control their interface.
I remember this from my Unix days, although I never really liked the feature. I'd almost completely forgotten about it till another Unix buddy of mine was ranting about how annoying it was that Windows didn't have such a feature, which is what prompted the post.

Wow, radical!
That's like... Cool and unexpected! Particularly given that most Unix window managers have supported this behaviour since, oh, two decades?
True
And it's been about a decade and a half since any of those window managers (ones that had this as the default setting) were in widespread use so not everybody knows about the capability.

KDE 4, too?
Nice trick. Thank you.
It looked like you were using KDE 3.x. Does it also work in KDE 4.x?
Yes
Look for "Window Behavior" in the desktop settings.

Very neat, I wasn't aware
Very neat, I wasn't aware that you could change focus to a window without bringing it to the foreground.
Would definitely need some getting used to, but I think it's worth it.
Thanks Mitch!
For those of us using gnome...
Go to system->preferences->windows and check the box that says "Select windows when the mouse moves over them".
Not sure how to change the click to raise setting though.
