Thanks guys; this has been useful.

Honestly I still have a tough time accepting the fact that Oracle dropped OpenSolaris's opensourceness... what does that mean? that any advances made by the...

Hi Guys,

Just curious if you would have any suggestions for replacing OpenSolaris in my home-server. I have been using it for six months now, with almost uninterrupted online-ready (thanks to an...

For me the main difference is whether you want to sell your services claiming to be "certified by Canonical" or backed up by Ubuntu developers or simply backed up by your personal reputation and some...

btw, is that you on the horse jumping? very...

As in linux each process gets assigned a PID, say you buy cpu time in a cloud, hackers will try to disguise their processes using your process PID number....

I recently came across an article on "The Economist" a magazine I normally respect for their work, but in this piece about EU blocking Oracle-Sun deal it says:

"Although MySQL and its underlying...

I guess "I don't need no stinking" academic references to know that linux shines 24x7... :D

I guess the Computer Science people in these forums taking Operating System courses are your best bet....

New ideas are always received with some healthy degree of skepticism (sic), but I think that looking at companies actually using cloud services now, we can get an idea of whether it is possible to...
