IBM (Offically) Launches Linux Box Clustering

Neumsy writes " IBM has offically announced that it is releasing Linux-Based Server, Software Packages. Yahoo! News has the story . According to IBM, this will expand the use of Linux. It's a good overview article. Not too much in depth, but still nice to see Linux getting out there more and more."

  2. Hey TRoLLaXoR by faeryman · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    im calling out my man TRoLLaXoR! where are you? anyway, listen, remember that jewish bitch we gangbanged...Natalia..no Natalie? Natalie Portman, thats it! well she pages me yesterday looking for some sweet loving.

    so i shut off my 486 and go to her house. i knock on the door and she greets me in. (naked of course..crazy bitch) we made smalltalk for a bit while i smoked a cigarette. she was rambling something about how she wanted "that huge fat cock" of yours! i dont know what you two were doing while i was gone but she sure seems hooked on you man!

    i told her you were off battling the homosexuals in Kansas City and she'd have to settle for my tiny 3 inch pierced tool. she pouted and mumbled something about and "8 inch cock thick as a mans wrist." i just sat there smoking my Marlboro while she went on and on about you. finally i got sick of it and extinguished my cigarette out on her left breast. it went PSSSTTT and i laughed.

    she ran into the kitchen to go tend to her burn. in her abscence i made my way back to my truck and pulled out my petrification ray. now this petrification ray is SO much better than the version i had last year. i ditched Linux as the OS on it and replaced it with *BSD - and now it doesnt crash, its latency is lower, and once again i enjoy petrifiying young girls with it!

    so i walk back in and Natalies on the couch. she looks up at me, starts to mumble about how im an ass, but before she finishes my petrification ray is humming to life. i set the switch to "HOT GRITS" and pulled the trigger. grits flew all over her, covering every inch of her body in thier warm embrace. she stood up, as if to run away, and i thought it such folly. once faeryman decides to petrify someone there is no escape.

    the grits started cooling down, encasing her body is a stone like layer. i stared at her body, naked and petrified, and a tear fell from my eye. the beauty of seeing her like that was too much.

    after composing myself i took both her and my ray back to my truck. i drove home and now she sits in my bedroom, naked and petrified. i assume you two have something going on, so whenever you want you can come and pick her up.

    anyway man, take it easy. glad to see you're still posting too.

  8. Wine needs to look to IBM for guidance... by Havokmon · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    This article shows EXACTLY what is needed to move from a 'developer only', beta system into a commercial arena.

    At this point, Wine for most end-users is only usable when accessing an existing Windows installation. Hell, the damn thing has a reg file that you're supposed to know (by osmosis apparently) you need to import to get some standalone functionality out of Wine.

    The corporate arena is the place where anything Linux will take off, and be rewarding to the creators (be it beer, money, or recognition).

    It must be accepted that Wine will NEVER run all Win32 apps. First and foremost, a frontend for running Win32 programs, independant of a pre-existing Windows installation, is needed.

    Look at IBM. Sure, clustering exists in Linux. But now IBM is bringing it to the masses.

    What does Wine need to do?

    Include registry settings. (or auto-import)

    Create a module for running Win32 exes without calling Wine (such as the Odin project does in OS/2)

    Update the damn documentation. (This really should be last, because in reality, people don't want to spend an hour reading documentation, when their app just may not work.) So start with a Quick "Hit List", or script.

    CodeWeavers has started this... But I don't think the initial Text File setup is nearly as much of a problem as capturing registry settings to get Apps to work in Wine Correctly. See Novell ZenWorks to see how this part is done right.

    I suppose this is probably OT, but IBM does have some shining examples of "The way it SHOULD be done."
