- How real are the 451 findings?
- Dan Farber is featuring news of another 451 Group study showing that open source is "just about" to take over the system management business.As Yogi Berra once said, "it's deja vu all over again."I have been giving, and getting, this prediction since I first joined ZDNet almost three years ago....

- Getting your new Unix server
- I know a dozen or more people who work as Unix sysadmins for big organizations in which most of the really critical stuff runs on Unix, but Windows get pretty nearly all of the money, all the people, and all the attention. In every case the Unix gear is either...

- Leveraging Linux to sell yourself
- If you work at a fairly junior level in the typical corporate IT environment your bosses will probably be treating you as a technician of categorised skills whose opinions and expertise outside of the narrow job box they have you in are neither of interest nor of value. Basically...

- Whose is the most popular open source database?
- Well, mySQL of course, why?Well, because PostgreSQL has sent out its take on the recent Alfresco survey which shows that it's where the action is.Here are the key numbers: Community usage: 62% MySQL; 9% PostgreSQL Evaluation usage: 50% MySQL; 23% PostgreSQL Deployment usage: 40% MySQL; 28% PostgreSQLThe PostgreSQL take on this is people...

- Judging development project quality
- I've developed what I think of as a forearm rule for forming snap judgements about the quality, and therefore likelihood of success, of software development projects. The rule is simple: exceptions are inversely proportional to quality.The rule applies most directly to project scope, but has a coding and design corollary....

- Security issues
- One of the things that struck me as odd about the programming languages discussion here a few weeks ago was the fact that so many people seemed to think "security" a function of the programming language, not its usage.On looking into this, I found it to be a fairly common...

- Moore's second law proves need for open source
- Everyone knows Moore's Law, the idea that chip complexity can double every year or two.Fewer acknowledge Moore's Second Law, which is that development costs rise alongside this complexity.Something like that exists in software, and this has made open source a vital ingredient in innovation.Take Eclipse Europa, which is due out...

- Distance makes the switch go quicker
- Which is a better sign of open source progress: Microsoft is changing Vista, based on a Google complaint. A major British retail chain switches to RedHat Linux.I think it's the latter. Because in all our talk about desktop Linux' market share, we're focusing on the wrong people.While most reporters, and most commenters,...

- Case studies in an open source world
- The folks at Liferay gave me a singular honor yesterday.They put me in touch with Ron Cash.Cash is one of the heroes. As Tim Duncan is to a sportswriter, or Hillary Clinton is to a political writer, so folks like Cash are to me. He manages computer systems for Colorado state government, specifically for the...

- aQuantive is not a Microsoft open source play
- Writer Rodney Gedda at Computerworld writes that aQuantive, the online ad agency Microsoft is buying for $6 billion, is an open source play.The reason? Many aQuantive units, including AvenueA Razorfish and Atlas, make extensive use of open source software, including mySQL, Linux, and Apache.If you use open source, are you...

- Survey says, open source becomes mission critical
- I have a natural skepticism when it comes to commissioned research. So take this with a grain of salt, despite its ring of truth.A Forrester survey for Unisys shows over half of large enterprises now use open source for mission critical operations. Four out of five (79%) use it in...

- Comcast money helps open source scare Cisco
- With Lucent absorbed into Alcatel, big phone and cable companies have fewer-and-fewer choices.Cisco is gaining market power over them. Or is it?This may be a head fake, but Comcast has invested in Vyatta, an open source maker of networking gear. It was just part of an $11 million round, so...

- Open source in the post-telephony era
- We are firmly in the post-telephony era. (Image from the BellSystemMemorial.) On buying BellSouth, AT&T executives spoke of selling "bundles" of service, wireless being the most important, and of using ads as a primary revenue stream. They were combining the land lines business as a by-product -- local, long distance,...

- Reputation vs. marketing in open source
- One of the big stories for 2007 is going to be the battle between marketing and reputation. (This guy is pure marketing, and thus has no role in what follows.)Traditionally open source gets by on reputation. Your credibility, your openness, your commitment to open source values, help determine your standing...

- Means and ends in open source
- One thing that makes analysis of business strategies in open source difficult even for professionals is a confusion of means and ends.Take my earlier post on IBM. I asked about IBM's open source strategy in isolation, which is a mistake. That's because for IBM, open source is a means, not...
