Cool Linux Tricks With Atlas

dpilgrim writes: "Looks like some powerful players want to see Linux going toe to toe with Unix 'big iron.' Would you like to be able to run two Linuxes simultaneously on the same box? 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."

    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've been looking for a Linux-based replacement for MS Expedia Streets and Trips. Imagine how happy I was to read this message!

    I can't wait to run Atlas on Linux!

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

    The balloonist never blamed her for his being lost. He just pointed out the obvious fact that she was of no help.

  11. My office is Window-less by Adrian+Voinea · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    My office is now 100% Window-less as of about 6 months ago, but we're instead 100% Mac OS X (currently 10.1). It's great. I don't miss Windows at all, and the myth that you "can't get applications for the Mac" is such a load of cr@p. In fact, the new Office for Mac OS X is, in my opinion, much BETTER than the Windows version. Networking has been faster, too, and that's important to us. You'd never believe it, but it's cheaper too. No more calling for technical support or having someone on duty to fix problems with our systems. You just don't need it with a Mac because the hardware and software is so well integrated. The machines themselves have been CHEAPER for us. $1199 iMacs as clients and G4s to handle some of the heavier loads. It's worked great. And by the way... that 22" Apple flat screen is not only beautiful for working with, but it impresses customers too. I know it seems like a detail, but people have gotten the impression we're an upscale successful business because they see those screens and comment on them. I know I seem like a troll ranting about this or that, but I just want to get the word out, because I'm a very pleased Apple customer... and I'm laughing at myself for ever having used Windows for so long.
