Wikimedia Simplifies By Moving To Ubuntu
David Gerard writes "Wikimedia, the organization that runs Wikipedia and associated sites, has moved its server infrastructure entirely to Ubuntu 8.04 from a hodge-podge of Ubuntu, Red Hat, and various Fedora versions. 400 servers were involved and the project has been going on for 2 years. (There's also a small amount of OpenSolaris on the backend. All open source!)"
In related(ly boring) news, Sun Microsystems replaced 200 old worn-out keyboards on their office workstations. Also, a handful of Microsoft employees patched their OSes, and some guy in Phoenix got a paper cut on his finger.
My finger hurts too. You know those bits of skin just above and behind your nails? Part on that the left side of my left index finger has gotten torn a little and now it's like a flap. The problem is, I don't need to alter the aerodynamics of my finger because I can't fly. It's really just painful, instead of useful, like on an aeroplane.
Actually, does anyone know how that happens?
I'm sure Xorg and KDE4 are high on their priority list for their web servers.
You wouldn't believe how much nicer Squid and MySQL look in Compiz.
