Arch Linux for the DIY Linux user

There's no dearth of Linux distributions for desktop users or even for running high availability servers. But if you are a do-it-yourself computer user, your choice of Linux distros is fairly limited. You can build Linux from scratch with Linux from Scratch or compile your own set of packages with Gentoo. But if you want a distro that teaches you the basics of Linux as you set it up; is well documented, lightweight, and zippy; and has a dependency-resolving packaging system, you need Arch Linux.

Report Eight: The rise of community Linux

As the use of Linux continues to grow, so do subscription contracts for leading commercial vendors such as Red Hat and Novell. However, the use of freely available community Linux distributions is also growing, giving enterprise Linux users more choices. This report considers the role and impact that community Linux distributions such as CentOS, Debian and Ubuntu have on commercial vendors. It also considers the general trend toward more options when it comes to using and supporting enterprise Linux. What do these freely distributed, community-developed Linux distros and additional commercial options mean for the enterprise Linux market?

AMD's OverDrive and CrossFire Come To Linux

twljagflba writes "Since last year AMD has made ATI increasingly Linux friendly by releasing 3D programming guides and helping out the open-source community. At the same time they have been continuing to develop their binary Catalyst driver for the Linux platform and most recently they delivered same-day support for their new graphics cards. Today though they have released the Catalyst 8.8 Linux driver that adds two very important features: CrossFire and OverDrive support for Linux. Linux users are now able to use CrossFire to split the rendering workload between multiple GPUs and they're also able to overclock their graphics cards now using the binary-only driver. Phoronix has a complete run-down on both features — including benchmarks — in their AMD OverDrive on Linux and ATI Radeon CrossFire On Linux articles.
