Implementations v. Implementations (and why the difference matters)

09/23/2007  IIIIII
Relevance: 7.80
Military tacticians often bewail the havoc that the"fog of war" (i.e., the inability to communicate effectively amid the chaos of the battlefield) wreaks on their carefully laid plans. About 10 days ago I tried to do a bit of fog cutting when I posed a few questions at Microsoft's Jason Matusow's blog .

Comparison of Python virtual machines

Relevance: 7.51
In this article I’m going to go through some details about what is going on under the hood when you run a Python program, as well how those details have changed over the years in different python’s implementations ranging from original CPython (Python implementation in C) all the way to the newest implementations like PyPy.

GPL VoIP libraries, softphone gain enhanced security

10/06/2006  IIIIIIIII
Relevance: 6.95
The GNU telephony project reports that GPL-licensed implementations of two key security protocols are available for use in Linux-based VoIP (voice-over-IP) devices and softphones. Additionally, a GPL-licensed softphone based on the new implementations is already available for download, testing, and use.

The Updated OSP and Free Software Interoperability

08/05/2008  I
Relevance: 6.38
Knock me down with a feather - apparently the OSP covers the GPL. In order for specifications covered by the OSP to be implemented in the free software ecosystem, and therefore for such specifications to be claimed to be interoperable with free software, a number of requirements must be met. One of those requirements is that free software implementations of the specifications must be permitted. The FAQ for the OSP has recently been updated to address some aspects of free software implementations.

Turn your machine into enterprise storage with Openfiler

09/11/2008  IIIIII
Relevance: 5.49
In my job as a systems engineer, I have handled various storage implementations for our enterprise clients. These may be in the form of direct-attached storage (DAS), network-attached storage (NAS), storage area network (SAN), or Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI) systems. In these implementations, clients generally use proprietary storage products from vendors such as EMC, Dell, Hewlett-Packard, and EqualLogic. Many of these devices work just like ordinary servers with multiple hard disks and an operating system. Some use Unix and Linux as base operating systems, so I began to explore the possibility of using that kind of operating system on ordinary servers to turn them into storage boxes.

Linux: Revisiting 2.6.22 Merge Plans

05/04/2007  IIIII
Relevance: 5.04
Following up to feedback on his merge plans, Andrew Morton [interview] posted an updated summary of what he is pushing upstream for inclusion in the upcoming 2.6.22 kernel. His list included,"a few serial bits, a few pcmcia bits, one little security patch, the blackfin architecture, small h8300 update, small alpha update, swsusp updates, m68k bits, and lots of UML updates." He also noted that he'll push some of the memory management queue including,"an enhancement to /proc/pid/smaps to permit monitoring of a running program's working set. The SLUB allocator, it's pretty green but I do want to push ahead with this pretty aggressively with a view to replacing slab altogether. Generic pagetable quicklist management. We have x86_64 and ia64 and sparc64 implementations, but I'll only include David's sparc64 implementation here. I'll send the x86_64 and ia64 implementations through maintainers."

Wine-Doors for Linux Reviewed

08/14/2008  I
Relevance: 4.71
I have been using Wine (WINE) or various implementations of it (Crossover Office and Cedega) for a few years now. What is funny is that I often had more success with Wine proper than I did with the various offshoot products. Go figure! So when I learned this issue...

Two Linux remote desktop apps freed from their commercial ...

Relevance: 4.57
Linux users have always had a few options for remote desktops, from the X11 itself through to VNC. However these don’t work quite as well as commercial implementations such as the popular NoMachine.
