A wall wart packed full of Linux....
It's no secret that Linux runs behind many consumer devices, and embedded Linux fits in the tiniest of places. One of the latest ways to get your Linux fix comes in what looks like power wall wart from TonidoPlug. Under the cover you'll find essentially a Marvell SheevaPlug with a 1.2 GHz CPU, 512MB of DDR2 memory and a 512MB flash disk. On the outside you'll see a single USB port and an Ethernet jack.

Replacing a dead router with Linux

Up
vote
Down

Saved by Linux when the router dies...
Earlier today I decided to upgrade the firmware on my SOHO’s Linksys WRT54G v5 router. I usually do such things on the weekends in case something breaks. It is a good thing I waited until the weekend this time. My Linksys WRT45G is now “bricked”. For some unknown reason the firmware update never finished although I waited for over an hour for it to complete. Of course no internet access was happening during this time and I could not get to any web sites to try to discover what I could do to fix the router.

Enter an old Dell Dimension XPS R400 PC that has been gathering dust in the closet.

Virtualbox 3.0 review

Up
vote
Down

Another opinion about Sun's latest version of VirtualBox...
Virtualbox is a virtualization application developed by Sun and is available for Windows, Linux, OpenSolaris, and Macintosh. It allows you to run another operating system (a guest) without dual booting. While I have always been a big fan of Virtualbox, I have always found virtualization (regardless of the application) to be slow and behind the times, so I would only use a virtual OS when absolutely necessary. Virtualbox 3.0 may actually convince me to use the technology more often.

Chrome OS

Up
vote
Down

The term 'operating system' historically never meant 'system software plus a bunch of user apps'; it meant the system software that provided -- and limited -- access to the physical resources of a computer. Other than that quibble, this is an informative short piece on Chrome OS...
Less than a month after that article, Google announced the intention to produce their own version of an operating system, Chrome OS. Well, they admitted, it’s not really their own (the operative kernel is actually Linux), and it’s not really an OS (just a way to climb on board the Internet), but it will have a brand-new GUI, which is all the average user sees anyway. The way they described it, the GUI will do little more than lead you to the web and then get out of the way.

Helping Microsoft via Mono

Up
vote
Down

Another perspective on Mono....
After that they give a plausible reason for us to assume Mono and Moonlight are approved to help Microsoft. It’s there in their own wording. People did not trust Microsoft not to sue over Mono so they had to issue the Community Promise.

“We do this by understanding the barriers that might otherwise prevent the developer from adopting our standards, and removing them;”

This sums it up quite nicely.
