Ubuntu Server Appliances Meet the Cloud
(2009-03-13 13:03:59)
WorksWithU: "Ubuntu is converging quickly with cloud services. A prime example: Turnkey Linux is launching 12 Ubuntu Server Edition software appliances that users can deploy in various cloud services. The news comes only a few weeks after Canonical said Ubuntu 9.10 will leap into Amazon.com's cloud. I'm intrigued, but I wonder if customers will join the Ubuntu cloud party."
High-security, RAMdisk Linux rev'd
(2009-03-13 14:03:59)

Shining Light on Why Microsoft Loves LAMP to Death
(2009-03-13 18:03:59)

How to: Set Tomato Firmware for Wireless Client Modes
(2009-03-13 18:33:59)
Wi-Fi Planet: "If you're like most right-thinking people, you probably use your wireless router the way that nature intended--to broadcast wireless signals to clients. But, if you've flashed your router with an alternative firmware, such as the increasingly popular Tomato, you can actually run your router in reverse. In other words, you can use your wireless router to pick up the wireless signal from another source, routing it to devices connected by Ethernet."

(2009-03-13 20:33:59)
Tech Source From Bohol: "Finally, after almost two years in the making, the latest version of PCLinuxOS has been unleashed. Although released without much fanfare, I was excited enough to download PCLinuxOS 2009 immediately after it is available."
Linux : the cool factor part 3 - Freedom -
(2009-03-13 21:03:59)
Handle With Linux: "What I do know is the most important reason why Linux is cool. Linux is free, free as in free speech.

The XO-2 is going Embedded RISC? So will everyone else!
