Linux Is on the Rise For Business - PCWorld Business Center - 1 views

  • according to a report released Tuesday by the Linux Foundation in partnership with Yeoman Technology Group. With data from an invited pool of more than 1900 respondents, the survey found that 76 percent of the world's largest organizations plan to add more Linux servers over the next 12 months. By contrast, only 41 percent plan to add Windows servers, while 44 percent say they will be decreasing or maintaining the same number of Windows machines over the next year.
  • Large companies are planning to increase their reliance on Linux over the next five years
  • Looking out over five years, the difference is even more marked: A full 79 percent plan to add Linux servers over that time, while only 21 percent will add new Windows servers.
  • ...11 more annotations...
  • To understand Linux trends among the world's largest companies and government organizations, Yeoman and The Linux Foundation focused in particular on responses from a subset of close to 400 respondents representing organizations with annual revenues of $500 million or more or greater than 500 employees.
  • Sixty-six percent of the planned Linux deployments mentioned by respondents are for brand-new applications or services, while 37 percent are migrations from Windows, the survey found.
  • "We are seeing more migration at Microsoft's expense than the industry analysis might lead you to believe," McPherson noted.
  • Since Linux is free, sales-linked estimates tend to underestimate its adoption considerably.
  • this survey involves some sample bias
  • the data isn't tied to server sales the way so much industry data is
  • a full 60 percent of respondents said they're planning to use Linux for more mission-critical workloads than they have in the past
  • Lack of vendor lock-in and openness of the code were other frequently cited drivers
  • long-term viability of the platform
  • choice of software and hardware
  • n cloud contexts, meanwhile, Linux led far and away, with 70 percent naming it as their primary platform, compared with 18 percent citing Windows and 11 citing Unix

Getting Started with Diigolet - Diigo help - 0 views

  • Tags help you find and organize your bookmarks by letting you select all of your bookmarks with a certain tag or combination of tags. Quickly add relevant tags to a bookmark by clicking on any of the recommended tags that appear under the description field on the “Save Bookmark” pop-up. When you are satisfied with the information in the “Save Bookmark” pop-up, click the “Save Bookmark” button. Now a link to the page is stored in your Diigo library, and the information you entered is stored with it.
  • Highlight Highlighting lets you denote important information on a page, just like highlighting in a book, but with Diigo, the highlighted text will be conveniently saved to your library as well. There are some important things for me to denote on my recipe. My wife doesn’t like pineapple, my grandfather can’t have eggs or chocolate, and I don’t like coconut very much, so I highlight those items on the recipe to let me know I need to deal with them. Highlight by clicking “Highlight” on the Diigolet. Then select the text you want to highlight. The text will be visually highlighted and the text is now stored in your library. It’s that easy. Click the button again to exit highlighter mode. You can also change the color of a highlight by clicking the downward-pointing arrow next to “Highlight” and choosing a color. Colors are useful for differentiating different types of highlights. I will use a different color for each of the different people I need to consider.
  • To add a sticky note to a highlight, simply move your mouse cursor over a highlight. When the little pop-up tab with the pencil on it appears, move the cursor to it and a menu will appear. Choose “Add Sticky Notes”. Now you can type and post a sticky note just like before, but this time it will be tied to the highlighted text.

Welcome - netboot.me - 1 views

  •  
    netboot.me is a service that allows you to boot nearly any operating system or utility on any computer with a wired internet connection - without having to know ahead of time what you'll want to boot. Once you can netboot.me, you never need to update your boot disk again! In order for your computer to know where to find the netboot servers, you need to change your DHCP settings to return some extra information. The two relevant pieces of information: next-server, which should be "tftp.netboot.me", and "filename", which should be "netbootme.kpxe". How to set these settings depends on your DHCP server. For dhcpd, simply add the following to the relevant 'subnet' section of your configuration: next-server "tftp.netboot.me" filename "netbootme.kpxe" For dnsmasq, the following line in /etc/dnsmasq.conf will achieve the same effect: dhcp-boot=netbootme.kpxe,tftp.netboot.me netboot.me works through the magic of netbooting. There are a number of ways to boot a computer with netboot.me. The simplest is to download a bootable image and burn it to a CD, USB memory stick, or floppy disk. Boot off it on any networked computer, and it will automatically fetch the latest boot options from netboot.me and let you choose from dozens of installation, recovery, testing, portable desktop and other tools. You can also start netboot.me from any computer running gPXE, or from any netbootable computer with some simple tweaks to your DHCP server.

Forrester Analyst Says Open Source Has Won | Linux.com - 4 views

  • Wednesday, 11 August 2010 08:58
  • Open source has crossed the chasm
  • Jeffrey Hammond
  • ...13 more annotations...
  • Hammond, principle analyst with Forrester Research
  • Hammond says that open source initially wedged its way into enterprise environments based on cost savings
  • Hammond says that we're now seeing the second wave of open source adoption, being driven by improved flexibility to execute and positioning enterprises to grow when the recession ends.
  • Only one in five (21%) developers are not using open source as part of their work.
  • Application servers and operating systems are highest in organizations larger than 20,000 employees.
  • what's more interesting is the "u-shaped" curve where very small and very large organizations show high adoption.
  • Open source databases are outliers, with less adoption in larger companies
  • 30% of developers say that they're using Linux as their primary development OS on Eclipse
  • Ubuntu is leading by far with 17%, all the other Linux combined
  • Deployment numbers are nicer for Linux. 40% are deploying on Linux, 36% on Windows from Eclipse; the Dr. Dobbs survey finds 23% deployment on Linux vs. 57% for Windows-centric developers. In both cases, organizations are deploying more on Linux than ever before.
  • Subversion is the leader with 52%, and Git/GitHub with 6%. Open source is the clear winner in SCM. Git has crept up from 2% to 6%
  • Things happening "outside the firewall" are driving technology, which has empowered developers to change corporate IT culture
  • about 36% of companies don't have a policy regarding deploying and contributing to open source.

      Might be useful to get into the habit of using logs for later troubleshooting.
  • –size-only Modifies rsync’s “quick check” algorithm for finding files that need to be transferred, changing it from the default of transferring files with either a changed size or a changed last-modified time to just looking for files that have changed in size
    • David Corking
       
      Sounds like webdav clocks gets sufficiently out of sync with the local machine to cause trouble with rsync. I wonder if it leads to unnecessary download of entire files. Does this mean that unison won't work on webdav drives?
