I'm not so sure about Virtuozzo; its mgmt components are ok.
In the IT department space, the key questions are a) does it do the job and b) are you willing to bet heavily on that it'll be around in ten years?
I left out Microsoft Virtual Server because everyone knows that unless you push the Microsoft products to the very upper edge of your stack, you're screwed with your pants on. I have nothing personal against them, I just have to take care of my employer's interests in the IT field first.
I'll bet you 10 that strategic positioning will beat the pants off performance, price and reliability. If your OS providers (Linux providers, Sun) are going with Xen, and your application and hardware providers are partnering with your OS providers, it just makes sense to put all your eggs in the same basket, since the penalty for breaking one egg is pretty much the same as for breaking them all. Right?
Not so much reading propaganda than using the actual products.
We mostly use VMware ESX, which is really directed to IT departments. All of the tools assume central control. They work extremely well and reliably, as long as you're willing to stick with the centrally managed model. We've been using VMware Server on our development workstations to develop and test applications with specific images.
I've been using Amazon EC2, which is a Xen-based value-adding product, for external software testing and random one-off hosting. I've installed Xen with CentOS 5 and FC6/7 on development servers and workstations, to try it out. The open source Xen tools are extremely rudimentary. The XenSource "enterprise" tools are basically copies of the VMware model, and mimic the centrally managed thing without doing it quite as well. However, the Xen API is very malleable towards a non-centrally-management tool model. By that I mean that you could very easily (and I'm doing just that on my copious free time) build a self-service server station for a IT department, to provide quick service to those internal customers who just need some commodity server space, right now, and for the right price.
Virtuozzo's story is basically over. With absolutely everybody in the underdog space choosing Xen, it's not likely they'll get much new business outside their narrow niche. It doesn't matter how neat your product is, if the product next door is completely acceptable, open to newcomers, free, and adopted by all of your other suppliers.
Isn't Microsoft Virtual Server in a completely different market segment? VMware and Xen are for IT departments with flexibility and foresight, Microsoft Virtual Server is for IT departments without those things, and Virtuozzo is for web hosting, right?
If it became popular for copyright-based businesses not to send large amounts of money to me for sitting around on a beach taking it easy, it would undermine my business model.

Matt's a flaming asshole who manages to make everyone miserable and lose us business, but we can't fire him.
Name one other person who can kind of deliver the mail, kind of answer the phones, do some of the bookkeeping, unclog the toilet, and kind of drive a 18-wheeler?
Of course, a reasonable manager who understood some of these things would conclude that since these days it's possible to hire well trained, specialized and pleasant professionals to do all of these things, some of which are business critical, it makes sense to break up this arbitrary collection of tasks which have no real synergy, fire Matt, and hire modern, well adjusted professionals to run the business.
Yes, I'd love see Sun learn all they can from RPM, DEB, apt and yum, and come up with a package format and delivery system that blows the doors off of what's available at the moment.
The same as everybody else who stores text in a relational database. Use external indexing, such as Lucene, which actually has some features you'd want for non-trivial full text indexing and searching, such as stemming.
Just set up an Amazon EC2 remote virtual machine, which costs $0.10 per hour, for the duration of your trip. Install the necessary software, and connect to it from a wireless hotspot. There are other hosting options available if that doesn't suit your needs.

There is no social law or guideline that doesn't originate from humans interacting.
Because everyone has a different understanding of what the objective of, for example, being "happy" means, people co-existing in a society pursue those different ideas in conflicting ways. Societies which have adaptive ways of dealing with those conflicts, such as European states, succeed in the objective of providing their members with group benefits. Societies with highly static ways for dealing with reasonable internal conflicts don't tend to last very long past the point where the limits for internal expansion have been reached, or they do so while maintaining a very low level of societal benefits provided to their members.
In the long run, the Bush challenge of the US constitution might be the best thing that's happened to the country for a while.
I know that my reticience to invest in AM2 equipment has had nothing to do with the current market situation or AMD's competitors, I'm simply waiting for the upcoming quad-core processors before I'm investing anything at all into hardware.
Alas, your problem is that you've publicly linked the statement to the person for less than compelling reasons. In any normal situation, that would not be a problem, but if you must defend your statement in a libel suit with a truth defense, you must provide compelling evidence that the writer truly was the person who you said it was. I'm sure that some university in your area offers a helpful course for students.
A more probable explanation is that you're just some kid in your parent's basement, you've gotten away with anonymous Internet libel before, and you don't have first hand experience with consequences.
Did the "other user" identify himself or name a trustworthy source, or have you perhaps somehow managed to get two accounts?
I think this is enough for reasonable people to draw judgement of this case. You are using your perceived anonymity on the Internet to make up stories.

Yes. Lotus Domino / Notes.
That's like saying that suicide is always an option.

Indeed, I only log on to Slashdot to browse it so that I can filter KDawson's crap out. Previously to that, Jon Katz's.

They could also just have bought a couple of Sun Black Box datacenters in a truck container.

Sounds like the manufacturers couldn't produce the drugs, so the government stepped in to ramp up production.
Yeah, and they also had WMDs.
So Fox News started its Russian subsidiary?
Yes, I'd love see Sun learn all they can from RPM, DEB, apt and yum, and come up with a package format and delivery system that blows the doors off of what's available at the moment.
Heck, I'd love to do the job myself.
... what do PG users use for full text searching?
The same as everybody else who stores text in a relational database. Use external indexing, such as Lucene, which actually has some features you'd want for non-trivial full text indexing and searching, such as stemming.
Furthermore, even if Sun releases Java under the GPL, that doesn't address patent concerns regarding Java.
So it's your expert opinion that the GPL doesn't specifically take into consideration just these kinds of patent concerns?
Very nice astroturf! Which PR company do you have to hire to be able to push this kind of astroturf and get it upmodded by sock puppet accounts?
Just set up an Amazon EC2 remote virtual machine, which costs $0.10 per hour, for the duration of your trip. Install the necessary software, and connect to it from a wireless hotspot. There are other hosting options available if that doesn't suit your needs.
Just use a stateless thin client laptop, no need for hard drive encryption and no way to intrude.
Why not encrypt your disk? Because there are more effective ways of protecting data and mitigating liabilities.

Its the same deal with Sun's current development ZFS: it lacks the option to decently make a backup.
See Solaris ZFS Administration Guide, Chapter 6 Working With ZFS Snapshots and Clones.

The only thing there is another source for, reliable or not, is the one line where someone with the nick "sniper" announces he quits.
I certainly wouldn't want to be a defendant of a libel suit with that kind of evidence backing my case.
You must have answered the wrong message there.
