How does OpenSolaris fare for Ed Tech?: In a nutshell, just fine. It's Unix, it's stable, it's robust, it's free, and includes a solid repository of free software. The real question is, does it have a place in Ed Tech? It's certainly pretty, but it's running Gnome and looks an awful lot...; Tags: OpenSolaris, Linux Distribution, Linux, Open Source, UNIX, Operating Systems, Software, Christopher Dawson; Blog posts 2008-05-08
KVM and Xen cofounders engage in war of words: Xen cofounder and project lead Ian Pratt said predictions about his virtualization hypervisor's demise to the newer kernel-based virtual machine (KVM) technology are unfounded, a by-product of his competitors' imaginations.

An idea about teaching Linux to the MCSE community: Frequent contributor Roger Ramjet has a bit of a bee in his bonnet about path and naming standardization across a multi-vendor distributed Unix architecture.
