As Linux is moving in
everywhere within
enterprise computing - in
embedded solutions, on
the desktop, in
distributed applications,
and on mainframes - the
Linux Business Week News
Desk brings you all the
latest developments.
In the course of putting
the January 2004 issue
together, the LinuxWorld
editors circulated
forward-looking questions
to a wide selection
members of the Linux
community whose opinions
we respect. Here's what
they had to say.
Thin-client computing is
alive and well...and
thriving in early-adopter
environments. In this
article, Dr. Migration
explains why thin-client
systems are showing up
everywhere from POS
applications to
classrooms, and why you
might...
Most organizations that
use Linux as a business
operating system are
developing their own
applications for Linux -
perhaps in response to
the current scarcity of
packaged applications
available on Linux. With
so much internal
deve...
Colleagues and friends
often ask me about Linux
since they see it
referenced everywhere
from Business Week to
quirky IBM and Dell
commercials during
football games. I am
always eager to share my
experiences - I say that
it takes a...
Next time you see a
sporty Audi A8 cruising
down the road, you'll
know that Linux played a
role in designing this
popular car. Throughout
its storied history, Audi
has taken on the role of
automotive technological
pioneer.
Innovation is the
lifeblood of the
technology industry. With
every new technical
innovation comes a whole
new crop of companies
riding the wave of change
as they try to build
companies (and sometimes
even whole industries)
out of the Next Big
Thing.
In this article, Ibrahim
Haddad presents on the
Open Source Development
Labs Carrier Grade Linux
Requirements and
Ericsson's contributions
in this area.
James Anthill, who is
helping to develop a
version of the GNU/Linux
operating system with
added non-free software,
says that 'people always
go for the path of least
resistance.' Ironically,
there is no clearer
counterexample to this...
It's 2:00 in the morning,
the Coca-Cola buzz is
starting to fade, and
it's been hours since
Domino's Pizza came
calling. The only light
is the white glow
emanating from the
monitor. It's time to run
the last test and - poof
- the system crashes.
Part of striving to
provide the best - and
most complete - Linux
magazine possible
involves occasionally
stopping to take a look
at what we're covering
too much of, not enough
of, or (even worse) not
at all.
Four hundred years from
now, Earth is a shadow of
her former self. On
August 24th, 2202, a near
calamitous strike from a
planetary fragment sent
12 billion souls into
backup and made extinct
hundreds of thousands of
animal and plant species.
Computational scientists
use large parallel
computers to simulate
events that occur in the
real world. These
large-scale applications
are necessary in order to
better understand
scientific phenomena or
to predict behavior.
This article presents a
Linux kernel module
capable of verifying
digital signatures of ELF
binaries before running
them. This kernel module
is available under the
GPL license and has been
successfully tested for
kernel 2.5.66 and above
In July 2003, to the
great delight of Linux
users worldwide, REALVIZ
debuted the first of
their software
applications on the Linux
platform at Siggraph in
San Diego. The product in
question was MatchMover
Professional 3.0, the

For several hours each
day, Rob Malda has the
power to send tens of
thousands of Web surfers
hurtling toward sometimes
unprepared Web sites. No,
he's not some shady
Eastern European
extortionist; he's one of
the founders and current...
Neoware provides
software, services, and
thin-client appliances to
enable server-based
computing, a computing
architecture targeted at
business customers that
is designed to be simpler
to manage than a
traditional PC-based
computing model.
Bacardi, Limited is one
of the world's most
storied distillers, with
5,000 employees in
offices on five
continents and another
100 in the company
headquarters in Hamilton,
Bermuda. The headquarters
is part of a worldwide

Linuxcare recently
announced the release of
their Levanta 2.0
software, which
configures and updates
virtual Linux servers on
the IBM eServer zSeries
mainframe.
There's tremendous talent
in the open source
community...but before
you can capitalize on the
potential within it, you
have to understand it.
This column explains how
to access a wealth of
information, with respect
for the community...
The latest dirty word to
creep into people's
vocabularies is used to
describe the flood of
unwanted e-mail: spam.
This unintended
consequence of the
Internet has made
checking e-mail a chore
of wading through obscene
and unwarranted material.
