Posted in News Roundup at 12:45 pm by Dr. Roy SchestowitzGNU/LinuxIs Linux currently at a fundamental disadvantage owing to how computers are set up?Dell offers full blown computers with Linux installed, presumably, with the engineering I’m talking about done. And over time we can expect to see a full range of different levels of offerings in between. I think when out of the box Linux computers start to become the default Linux for the average end user, and the engineering issues become backgrounded for Linux like they are now for Windows, that we may start to see more momentum in the direction of Linux to the exclusion of Windows.

It is not surprising that there is a lot of interest in tracing implementations for Linux; the main surprise is that, after all this time, Linux still does not have a top-quality answer to DTrace – though, arguably, Linux had a working tracing mechanism long before DTrace made its appearance.Plumbers Conference Featured Speakers AnnouncementASUSFast booting ASUS Eee Box hits the desktopUsing the ASUS exclusive Express Gate firmware, the Eee Box can fast boot from cold to being Internet ready in just 8 seconds, ASUS claims.
