LinuxWorld Highlights

Jan Stafford writes "Bernard Golden over at SearchEnterpriseLinux was wowed by the many hardware and software products on display at LinuxWorld. Among the highlights include Blackdog, a complete Linux server the size of a deck of playing cards and Astaro a bundled security suite designed for corporations. He also outlines the good, bad and funny trends of the convention."

Not that there's anything wrong with that, as Seinfeld would say.

Same here. 10% seems a little high for either of those populations however...
