Cool Linux Tricks With Atlas

Posted by timothy on from the largeness dept.

Or seemless swap processor and memory in and out of your machine? The Atlas project aims to bring you all that and more. There's a press release from TurboLinux reported here, and a more in-depth article running on SourceForge's Linux on Large Systems Foundry."

  1. Thought Turbo was on the Rocks ... by SuperDuG · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    Turbo Linux sent us some free CD's and it was very nice of them, but the text-based installer is rather horrid and their post-install setup is less than would be desired.

    Mandrake and RedHat also sent us CD's, They were nice but also installed Gnome and KDE along with other huge apps that an average user wouldn't know what they were let alone ever use them.

    Personally I would like to see Turbo up and going again, but I haven't heard anything positive coming out of it besides it's huge market-share in asia.

    I can't wait to run Atlas on Linux!

    That's what it's talking about, right?
