Panel PCs support PoE Linux: related news

Wal-Mart Nixes Linux; How Tech Busted Spitzer; We're Spammed

Here’s one for Linux-loving conspiracy theorists: Wal-Mart will stop selling PCs running the Linux operating system in its stores. The retailer started selling Linux PCs last fall, prompting this blog to write that if the PCs proved popular with consumers, businesses might start running the operating system on the PCs that workers use. (While businesses regularly run Linux on servers, the back-office computers that process data, hardly any run Linux on PCs.) Wal-Mart is ditching Linux in stores even though it sold out of the machines, which will doubtless feed the theories of a vocal crowd of Linux fanatics who’re convinced that The Man is conspiring to kill Linux. It’s more likely culprit is Mr. Market: Wal-Mart says that the computers weren’t what its customer were looking for, but that it will continue selling Linux PCs on its Web sit

Panel PCs support PoE, Linux

Contendo Systems announced two flat-panel PCs that run Linux or Windows CE, and can use PoE (power over Ethernet). The ITP-070 and ITP-104 feature touchscreen displays, microSD storage, sealed aluminum cases, and Marvell PXA270 or PXA320 processors running at up to 806MHz.

Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit Leaves Desktop Linux Behind

Linux.com's Joe Barr has an interesting commentary about the recent Linux Foundation Collaboration Summit and the astounding lack of attention for desktop Linux. Now, a great deal of the monetary support driving Linux these days comes from companies with a vested interest in "big iron" but hopefully this won't completely eclipse the rest of the community. "Before I learned that the press was not welcome in any of the working-meetings at the summit on days 2 and 3, I saw and heard rumblings of discontent from more than one ordinary Linux desktop user. One example: a top-ten list of inhibitors to Linux adoption, created by a committee of foundation members, contained nothing at all relating to desktop usage. Nothing. Everything on the list was about back-room usage.

ActiveState Announces Support for Oracle Enterprise Linux

Adobe Releases AIR for Linux

Adobe has showed its support for Linux and open source by releasing its Adobe AIR software for Linux and joining the Linux Foundation. Adobe AIR for Windows and Mac was launched last year. The addition of a Linux version of Adobe AIR will allow Linux developers to build RIAs -- and may garner support for Adobe in the Linux community.

Time is right for Linux PCs to emerge

BOSTON (AP) - The free Linux operating system handles big tasks like running supercomputers and ATMs. Now Linux has a chance to finally crack Microsoft Corp.'s hold on computing's most visible domain -- mainstream PCs -- because of the rise of innovative, inexpensive machines. Of course, prognosticators perennially say Linux is on the verge. It gets high marks for security and stability and is widely used behind the scenes in corporate servers, making it a natural candidate to steal desktop thunder from Microsoft's dominant Windows. And yet Linux PCs still represent less than 2 percent of the market. This time, though, there's actually evidence of momentum. While the best features in the latest Windows release, Vista, require top-notch configurations that can quickly ramp up a PC's price, one of the hottest segments of the industry involv

QLogic Enhances SUSE Linux Support

Aliso Viejo-based storage networking products firm QLogic said Thursday that the firm has shipped an enhanced version of the firm's host bus adapter (HBA) storage networking products for Novell's SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. QLogic said that it is now shipping a production ready HBA with support for N_Port ID Virtualization (NPIV), a storage industry standard used for supporting virtualization software. QLogic claimed that it was the first HBA vendor to ship support that support for the latest version of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server. NPIV support is used to allow administrators to create "virtual" host bus adapter ports in conjunction with Novell's ZENworks Orchestrator and virtual machine management tools.

Oracle Touts Unbreakable Linux, Adds Clusterware Support

It has been a year and a half since database, middleware, and application software powerhouse Oracle pulled a CentOS maneuver and created a variant of Red Hat's Enterprise Linux distribution and started selling less costly support services for this so-called Oracle Unbreakable Linux. To make Unbreakable Linux even more attractive to customers, Oracle is throwing some extra goodies pulled from its Real Application Clusters (RAC) clustering software to customers who use its Linux distro and support.

Linux Driver Project April Status Report

IconHere's an update on the Linux Driver Project. "The Linux Driver Project is alive and well, with over 300 developers wanting to participate, many drivers already written and accepted into the Linux kernel tree, and many more being currently developed. The main problem is a lack of projects. It turns out that there really isn't much hardware that Linux doesn't already support. Almost all new hardware produced is coming with a Linux driver already written by the company, or by the community with help from the company. There are two main classes of hardware, video input devices and wireless network cards, that is not well supported by Linux, but large efforts are already underway to resolve this issue, with the wireless driver issue pretty much taken care of already, however there are a few notable exceptions.

Linux Gets Kernel-Based Modesetting

An anonymous reader writes "Next month when Fedora 9 is released it will be the first Linux distribution with support for kernel mode-setting, which is (surprisingly) a feature end-users should take note over. Kernel-based modesetting provides a flicker-free boot process, faster and more reliable VT switching, a Linux BSOD, and of most interest is much-improved suspend/resume support! The process of moving the modesetting code from the X.Org video driver into the Linux kernel isn't easy, but it should become official with the Linux 2.6.27 kernel, and the Intel video driver can already use this technology. Phoronix has a preview of kernel-based modesetting covering more of this new Linux feature accompanied by videos showing the dramatic improvements in virtual terminal switching.

SourceLabs Offers Self-Support for Linux, Java

If you are a developer working at a major corporation or a small company and you want to use Linux and open source tools to create Java applications, there is very little possibility that your company is going to let you do that without getting tech support for the Linux and tools that you use. But in many cases, even after paying for support, you end up doing a lot of the work yourself anyway. Which kinda defeats the purpose of paying someone else to do the support work and hold your hand.
