HP Donates the Guts of Tru64 Unix's File System to Linux

Say what you will about the makers of proprietary minicomputers from days gone by, but Digital, IBM, and Hewlett-Packard all knew a thing or two about making a tightly integrated, highly polished system. And in most cases, that expertise in VMS, OS/400, and MPE infused their respective owners' Unix development projects with a certain amount of finesse. The smarts that went into these proprietary and Unix platforms sure would come in handy as Linux tries to take on more and more of the enterprise.

Unix, Linux Uptime and Reliability Increase; Patch Management Woes Plague Windows

Use this report, the Yankee Group's Global Server Operating System Reliability Survey, to make an informed choice on which servers best fit your needs. The independent, non-sponsored survey identifies the most reliable platforms. IBM® AIX® Unix led all server operating systems with an average of just 36 minutes per server of annual downtime.

Managing Unix/Linux with Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007 Cross Platform Extensions Beta

Microsoft System Center Operations Manager 2007 Cross Platform Extensions Beta enables organizations to achieve service level goals and gain visibility across their cross-platform environments, including Unix and Linux operating systems as well as Microsoft platforms. With centralized management and monitoring of the IT infrastructure, organizations can maximize uptime and performance while reaping the efficiencies of a single monitoring solution rather than disparate tools for each environment. This paper discusses how Operations Manager 2007 Cross Platform Extensions can help data centers and large IT organizations:

33-Year-Old Unix Bug Fixed In OpenBSD

Ste sends along the cheery little story of Otto Moerbeek, one of the OpenBSD developers, who recently found and fixed a 33-year-old buffer overflow bug in Yacc. "But if the stack is at maximum size, this will overflow if an entry on the stack is larger than the 16 bytes leeway my malloc allows. In the case of of C++ it is 24 bytes, so a SEGV occurred. Funny thing is that I traced this back to Sixth Edition UNIX, released in 1975."
