The recent Oracle/NEC
TPC-C benchmark, along
with the 2.6 kernel,
indicates without a doubt
that Linux is ready for
the enterprise. During
the last two years, Linux
has made significant
inroads in the server
market, in particular in...
It's no secret to
technical developers that
security issues need to
be taken into
consideration when
developing policies.
However, the extent of
those security issues can
easily be overlooked by
many organizations.
In a lot of ways, Linux
seems pretty similar to
other modern operating
systems, with overlapping
windows, a mouse, games,
an e-mail program that
talks to Outlook, an
application that can read
and write Microsoft Word
documents, etc.
What is open source? It
is a way of developing,
distributing, and
licensing software. In
the late 1970's and early
1980's, the roots of open
source as we know it
today were established.
Meet Furthermore - a case
of higher-order
integration made possible
by a fortunate meeting of
the open source technical
world and a business
manager with a vision.
It's a group blog. It's a
content organization and
meta-content organization
engine.
This article examines the
issues and challenges of
desktop Linux in moving
toward mainstream
enterprise adoption and
how an innovative
alternative business
desktop solution, in the
form of thin clients, is
helping to lead the way

Does the open source
community provide
world-class security
technology? Can
organizations stop
dealing with commercial
vendors for security
software? To avoid any
undue suspense, the
answers are:
'Emphatically yes' and
'Maybe, b...
In my editorial in last
month's LinuxWorld
Magazine, I defined
inflection points (with
the help of Intel's Andy
Grove) as those things
that change our behavior
with regards to our IT
strategy. I was speaking
of software and hardware...
Linux-based servers are
fast becoming the
low-cost alternative to
higher-priced proprietary
Unix/Windows
environments. Finding a
cost-effective storage
management solution to
support different
environments can be a
challenge. As e...

open source software

the White House in 2004.

What began as a small
movement based in a
Finnish student's
apartment has mushroomed
far beyond his or anyone
else's expectations.
Linux, sprung from Linus

It wasn't long ago that
public networks were used
only for voice calls,
that data came in only
two varieties (numbers
and letters), and that
multiplayer gaming meant
up to four players
sitting in the same room.
LWM's editor-in-chief,
Kevin Bedell, recently
had the opportunity to
ask Ranajit Nevatia,
director of Linux
Strategy for VERITAS, a
few questions about how
Linux is impacting
VERITAS and how the
company is contributing
to the world of open
source.
For many sports fans
worldwide, Formula One

The degree of technology

Formula One race car is
unsurpassed in any form
of racing. The driver...
In today's
proprietary-dominated
software marketplace,
companies large and small
must live with the fact
that their own priorities
can and do diverge from
those of their key
suppliers. IT departments

Hello, and thanks for
reading LinuxWorld
Magazine! Welcome to our
one-year anniversary
issue! It seems like only
yesterday that we were
launching this magazine;
so much has happened
since then.
LWM's editor-in-chief,
Kevin Bedell, spoke with
Sun's John Fowler about
what's new - with Sun,
with Fowler's new
position, and with Sun's
place in the open source
world - and learned a
little history as well.
