The most known Virtualization System is under heavy development, and many interesting features will be in the final version. The most interesting? Integration with the Eclipse IDE. I have only a doubt: what about Fusion? Will be a different project or it’s only the beta name for VMWARE for MacOSX? Will they be merged? Release Notes on ...
Remember, Unix is a “kind” of Operating System, UNIX is a Registered Trademark: a little bit different :D Unix History Graph Source, Ziobudda.
After the coronation as the best (imho ;) ) file-system for *nix systems, BitUbique post an howto defragment an XFS partition. Simplest and fastest way? sudo xfs_fsr -v /dev/hda1
Operating Systems based on Micro-Kernel seems to return fashionable, and some experimental OS releases demonstrate it: the National ICT of Australia, infact, has released a Darwin porting for L4. This is for being able to study the behaviour of that class of o.s.. This porting include XNU, the hearth of MacOSX. ...

A custom kernel boots up the system faster, it takes up lesser memory space and one can install drivers for special hardware not supported by a default kernel… How to get it wrong? ;) Here is a interesting guide to compile the Kernel for FreeBSD.
Syllable is a reliable and easy-to-use GPLed operating system for the home and small office user http://www.syllable.org/ This Operating System birth with the SOHO in mind: all the Graphics System (the X server, for the *nix-lover) is built-in the Kernel. It’s a good idea to test it… if I had enough time.
Interessante digressione di OSBlog su un problema PESANTEMENTE SENTITO da me (come altri miei colleghi) dell’uso SBAGLIATO, INDISCRIMINATO E SENZA MOTIVO di software a pagamento nei centri di ricerca e nelle università (soprattutto dove si potrebbe evitare, anche e soprattutto per motivi didattici). Dal mio punto di vista, sono diversi anni che suggerisco (ormai sempre con meno vigore… gli ignoranti restino ignoranti) nel mio ambiente universitario l’uso di software opensource lì dove se ne trarrebbe SOLO vantaggio. Leggasi vantaggi economici, vantaggi didattici (usare un sistema unix accresce e di molto le proprie conoscenze informatiche), vantaggi “amministrativi” (l’Università , la mia facoltà potrebbe tranquillamente scegliere 3/4 ragazzi in gamba per gestirsi sito web e tanti servizi ad esso correlati… invece si affida ad aziende che si fanno pagare contratti milionari per fare cose che dei bravi studenti (magari sotto la guida di un buon docente) potrebbero TRANQUILLAMENTE fare da soli). ...
