It is distributed in PDF format, and focuses on Open Source Solutions related to Enterprise Data Networking. The first issue looks at some interesting stuff include MultiLayer Switching in Linux.

  1. Is this really necessary? by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Redundant
    I mean, "open source" is great, and free software and the "GNU" project are all excellent examples of how grassroots activism can make a difference but is anyone really going to take this seriously? We need to start addressing ourselve to the people that matter


    Is the CEO of a Fortune 500 corporation suddenly going to replace his reliable expensive Solaris clusters running Oracle with a bunch of cheap Linux blades running MySQL just because he read it in an online "magazine"?


    We in the Open Source community need to stop being so introspective, and start MARKETING the advantages of open source to the suits. For example how many CEO/CFO/CTOs realise that MySQL is FREE whilst the likes of Oracle and Sybase cost millions???
