LinuxWorld Highlights

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the on-the-front-lines dept.

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."

    That Blackdog is amazing for just $200. I want one!

    seems like the last one he was at was '00 in san jose. now THAT was a party. ever since has been drab, and this one was just about as average as the rest of the west coast/bay area ones since.

    although, yeah, .org pavilion being relocated to the mezzanine was lame - but it was still good to be able to walk up to the folks at gentoo, kde, moz and eff and give them the props they deserved.

    Looking at the website, I don't think it's really intended to be used as a server - at least not primarily. It is, however, an amazingly cool little portable PC - powered over another PC's USB, steals the host's input/output devices - how cool is that! I'm quite tempted to buy one myself. Just a pity that it only has 64Mb onboard RAM....
