  • UNIX file system fragmentation
    In the Windows world file system fragmentation is usually handled by periodically using a defragmenting utility on the affected file system. UNIX vigorously attempts to prevent fragmentation from ever happening in the first place. In this respect Windows and UNIX are two completely different worlds. Those coming to UNIX from a Windows background often wonder where the defragmenting tool is.

    Courtesy of groklaw a great research paper (pdf) from the University of Washington dissecting under which assumptions DMCA copyrights infringement takedown notices are in fact generated for BitTorrent users(1).

  • OpenOffice.org template collections
    Stubbornly, OpenOffice.org continues to ship with only a handful of templates. Despite the efforts of several sub-projects and individuals to change the situation, the standard OpenOffice.org download includes only a couple of slide show presentations and a few templates to accompany the wizards available in the file menu. This lack of templates is a serious handicap for many users, and often leaves a poor impression on new users who are accustomed to the selection of templates found in other office suites.

    When edgy, risque, and retro all come together in a video game, smart people stay off the street. Off the streets of New Arcadia, circa 1922, that is, because thats where evil seems to thrive in Episode 1 of On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, a newly released game from Hothead Games and Penny Arcade.

  • The future is bright for Linux filesystems
    <br><b>LXer Feature: 10-Jun-2008</b><br><p>In a recent article, <a href="http://www.enterprisestorageforum.com/sans/features/article.php/3749926">Linux File Systems: Ready for the Future?</a>, Henry Newman expands on what he feels are shortcomings in current GNU/Linux filesystems. Specifically, he believes current Linux filesystem technology cannot meet the demands that massive implementations of 100TB or larger require. He states he received some emotional responses trying to either refute his information or impugn his character, although those comments do not show on either of the articles pages. This prompted me to get the real scoop on how Linux filesystem technology is trying to keep pace with the ever-growing need for storage space.

  • Sun SOA launch sucks in open source
    You remember SeeBeyond Technologies? Rather successful application integration company? Lots of really big customers and $140m in annual revenue? Purchased by Sun Microsystems in 2005 for the knockdown price of $387m. Yes, well, Sun has released Java Composite Application Suite (CAPS) 6.0, an updated version of SeeBeyonds old Integrated Composite Application Network (ICAN) suite that takes that $387m investment and throws it to the wind, as open source code.

  • 3 Reasons Why Your System Might Be Slow
    Computer users expect their systems to work well at all times, but unfortunately this isn’t always the case. If your system becomes slow, there certainly is something you can do about it. This article will help you understand what’s happening on the system, whether it’s the computer in front of you or a system you’re accessing remotely. Naturally, I presume you’re running Linux, and the tools described here are Linux tools. If you’re on some other weird system ( ;) ), your mileage may vary.

  • Installing and using OpenVZ on CentOS 5
    OpenVZ is operating system-level virtualization based on a modified Linux kernel that allows a physical server to run multiple isolated instances known as containers, virtual private servers (VPS), or virtual environments (VE). The preferred term these days is container. Containers are sometimes compared to chroot or jail type environments but containers are really much better in terms of isolation, security, functionality, and resource management.
