  1. Security show, by Victor+Tramp · · Score: 3, Interesting · on Securing Your Network?

    What about approaching the Linux Public Broadcasting Network about doing a [[semi-]regular] show about security? Perhaps they'd be open to content like that?

  2. Re:Cool!! by Sayjack · · Score: 1 · on Sun Releases Solaris 9 for Intel

    The truth is an old computer science adage "it depends". It's easy for the casual user to judge Linux as alot faster than Solaris. Linux kicks butt given the demands of a single user while Solaris tends to shine when you get 20 users on some significant piece of hardware.

    IMHO, Solaris scales better at present, however, with the new linux kernel changes geared towards the enterprise Linux is evolving very quickly into a real contender. The 2.5 kernel sports block I/O enhancements, new O/(1) scheduler, kernel preemption, new reverse-mapping VM, and thread enhancements just to name a few. Linux is evolving faster than any other operating system out there. The next 5 years should be really fun.
