Unfortunately the Diesel fuel sold in the US has a much higher sulphur content than Diesel sold in Euorope. This means that diesel engines sold in the US generally are not as clean or efficient compared to those in Euorope. (A typical Euorpean Diesel engine would not even start on US fuel!!!:)
Hopefully US mandates a change to the cleaner and better Diesel variety and signals a shift to increased popularity.
In the US and elswhere were content filtering are in place. But oh, I forgot, its not to censor but to protect the innocent children.. Talk about hypocritical(SP?)..
Framemaker doesn't make use of DPS. If it did it wouldn't work on most xterms and exported to linux boxen. Framemaker uses ATM (Adobe Type Manager) to display good looking output on any X-server.
So the Linux-port carried a very modest porting fee.
The benchmarks were created on SPARC classic machines with microsparc processors.
However notice the use of 2.0 kernels.
I wonder how this would measure up under 2.2
(RH newer than 5.2)
I've used RedHat on SPARC's for a while.
The problem with the SPARC-port is that older machines that people tend to have at home
are not supported well. I have had problems installing anything newer than RH 5.2 SPARC on sun4m machines even. No doubt would I have used newer versions on SPARC provided that they actually would work.
RedHat is probably realizing that the SPARC port of the kernel need too much work for their liking.
And now since solaris is "free" the demand for a linux port is probably diminishing. (unfortunately).
True, its increasingly meningless to use backups for disk crash recovery. Backups should be used to recover individual files or directories which were deleted or corrupted. To be sensible, you need mirroring or other RAID methods to protect against disk failure these days. Thats why ufsdump etc becomes increasingly meningless by the second. A GPL'd application like IBM's TSM/ADSM built upon a GPL DBMS would kick ass!
When I see supported versions of the ADSM/TSM backup product or DCE/DFS for Linux, I'll give them cudos, not before. Talk is really cheap. Like McDonald telling everybody they'll start off on the net to raise stock value.
I don't think there is a SINGLE profitable high profile Linux company out there, so your question is a bit unfair. OF COURSE ARE THEY LOOSING MONEY. And will keep on doing so for a few years to come. When you go to a typical games-retailer, they have PC, playstation etc and maybe a few MAC-titles. Linux games are not even on the shelfs of most stores.
If you want speed and redundancy there is no other solution than going to raid 1+0 or raid 0+1. In this configuration you stripe the disks normally (raid 0) and mirror either the whole partition or the individual slices. This method combines ultra high performance (raid 0) with redundancy, provided you provide extra controllers and disks. If you want good write performance, forget anything but raid 0.
UK as opposed to Sweden f.ex. has a live and kicking undergrond radio culture, with lots of interesting shows. In Sweden radio SUX SUX, even in 'larger' cities. I hope this RDS hijacking doesn't give the UK government an excuse to start a major campain against pirate radio, given this new 'concern'.
BTW, I own an RDS car-radio, and you can disable traffic-information-override as well as other RDS features. What intrigues me is that in Sweden RDS is extensivley used for broadcasting commercials, like 'TV $999 at SEARS' so I would imagine RDS becoming an instant success in the US, and was very surpriced to hear it wasn't common.
Moral 1: Pirate radio is probably superior in content to licenced equiv. Moral 2: I hope this doesn't lead to a crackdown of stations in the UK. Moral 3: Digital radio? well not in the piss poor DAB implementation that we have in europe anyway.
The only way of selling starportal is to have a broad userbase among different platforms, so it would be totally counterproductive NOT to keep on developing the Linux, Solaris whatever version.. Remeber sun is plannnig to push staroffice to all major PC-makers, like Dell, etc... I would be very surprised if not more ports will appear rather than less..
Well, I wonder why they implemented the lovely OF without the output routine for the screen, you have all commands available, but you have to type in the blind! Makes me wonder what crack some people are on.
Well Starportal, Sun's enterprise staroffice versions that runs in a browser needs java really bad!!! The first? java office suite since corel java office? Maybe the computers are faster this time around? I remeber starting the Corel beta on a 4 processor (167MHz) Sun Enterprise 4000 with lots of memory... Didn't work properly..:)

Yeah, me to, although they come with 4MB nowadays!
Thats why you'll need an Ultra 10, Creator 3D graphics..
