Interesting, since I work in Higher ed. Hold on while I check Protege which I use to map our enterprise. Oh, I see that over 80% of our logical servers are running Linux, either Debian, Red Hat AS or Cent OS. It appears that we are using typo 3 for our CMS. It also looks like we are using uPortal for our web portal and CAS for our Web ISO. Looks like we're using Nagios for monitoring, plus other open source projects in various areas. I also see heavy dependance and use of PostgreSQL and MySQL.
Let me check what services have given us the most trouble. Oh, I see it's our closed source applications.
But, I guess they know best. So I had better shut all of this down.
Well that sounds like it is the developers problem.
If you develop closed source software based on GPL it is YOUR FAULT for not reading and understanding the license. If you feel that it's unfair, don't use the code. You can either find something with a BSD style license or *gasp* code it from scratch.
No. SSH provides you with a secure method to log into a particular machine. However, if you have several services (applications, machines, etc) that require authentication it is desirable to have a secure method of not only having one username/password combo but allowing services to authenticate off of that username/password combo. That is where Kerberos comes in.
In the case of SSH it is quite common that its pam configuration is using Kerberos for authentication.
I know the parent is being sarcastic but I wish to inform those (hopefully few) sysadmins that are using automatic update for their company machines.
Use
SUS. You point your windows clients to update from your SUS. Since you approve updates that will be placed on your machine you won't get suprised by an automatic update.
... If Linux is becoming more like Windows and their is very little diffrence between the two... Why should I pay for Windows?
I know they are only talking about the kernel but most people don't know what a kernel is. This is an excellent statement that could be used for FUD against Microsoft. However, I know we (OSS crowd) have to much dignity for that....

I wonder what else mother earth has in store for us considering we only scratched the surface

Chef Boyardee. He is the creator of the creator. RAmen
I'm curious if anyone has done any realworld comparisons with Xen and Virtuoso?

Yes, it is a bit out there. But, taking a look at history and the rest of the world, it's not impossible.

See the Debian FAQ for more information on what is "testing" and how it becomes "stable".
Finally, SP2 will make Windows a stable, secure and robust operating system...
What's that? Oh, I thought you said cows will be jumping over the moon. Wrong moon reference, sorry..
