Linux Proves - The Best Things In Life Are Free

Write Comment

They say - there’s no such thing as a free lunch. But, Linux and FOSS software can be used to start, run and grow your business for, you guessed it, free. February survey of IT managers by IDC indicated that hard times are accelerating the adoption of Linux. The open source operating system will emerge from the recession in a stronger data center position than before, concluded an IDC white paper. Reducing costs and stronger interoperability with Windows were listed as the two top issues in a new survey of IT managers.

Sun Microsystems, Novell, Microsoft and many more have been down because of bad economy. But, Free software vendor such as Red Hat, IBM and others are doing fine. Here in India, many Government projects and schools found success with Linux. Also, Linux found good successes in emerging economies where Microsoft Windows doesn’t already dominate end user computing. The increasing use of Linux as a pre-loaded system on mobile devices is another area where Linux use is likely to grow on.

However, Linux may be free, but you still need to invest in the training and getting involved in the community to get support. What do you thing? Have you found success with Linux in your data center? Please add your thoughts in the comments below

Hackers boot Linux on iPhone

Write Comment

The port is of the Linux 2.6 kernel and can run on first and second generation iPhones as well as the
first generation iPod touch. PlanetBeing details his Linux port on his blog, making sure to note that the Linux project is separate from the iPhone Dev T eam project.Currently the Linux port is fairly incomplete.
The framebuffer driver, serial driver, serial over USB driver, and drivers for interrupts and other

miscellaneous components have been successfully ported over. Read-only support for the NAND memory is coming along also, but there are a number of components still not running, including write-support for NAND memory, baseband chip support, and support for many iPhone features such as the touch screen,
accelerometer, sound, and wireless networking.Currently the port is possible through the iPhone attached to a computer with USB keyboard so it isn’t a fully portable Linux port yet. Hopefully future updates will find a
way to use a touch pad keyboard. But even in an incomplete state, it is very promising to see a version of Linux running on iPhone, and an indication that a more complete port will be coming in the future.
