Qubes - 4 views

shared by yc c on 08 Apr 10 - Cached
  •  
    Isn't Qubes just another Linux distribution after all? Well, if you really want to call it a distribution, then we're more of a "Xen distribution", rather then a Linux one. But Qubes is much more than just Xen packaging -- it has its own VM management infrastructure, with support for template VMs, centralized VM updating, etc, and also its very unique GUI virtualization infrastructure. What is the main concept behind Qubes? To build security on the "Security by Isolation" principle. Key architecture features:Based on a secure bare-metal hypervisor (Xen)Networking code sand-boxed in an unprivileged VM (using IOMMU/VT-d)No networking code in the privileged domain (dom0)All user applications run in "AppVMs", lightweight VMs based on LinuxCentralized updates of all AppVMs based on the same templateQubes GUI virtualization presents applications like if they were running locallyQubes GUI provides isolation between apps sharing the same desktopStorage drivers and backends sand-boxed in an unprivileged virtual machine(*)Secure system boot based on Intel TXT(*)

    Several readers have pointed out this interview with Maximilian Attems, posted by Raphaël Hertzog. Therein, Maximilian states that, while the cross-distribution cooperation on the 2.6.32 kernel has been a great thing, Red Hat is making things harder by shipping its RHEL 6 kernel source as one big tarball, without breaking out the patches. Your editor has downloaded the 2.6.32-71.14.1.el6 source package and verified that this is the case.

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.
