Cendant's Galileo eFares Unit Dumps Unix for Linux
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
It's a story you are going to hear more and more as Linux gets legit: big companies dumping big Unix for Linux clusters. Cendant, the travel services company that owns the Galileo reservation system for booking airline tickets and hotel accommodations, has just unplugged a bunch of big Unix SMP servers and replaced them with X86 servers running Linux. The move is part of a long-term strategy to get as many applications off IBM mainframes and big Unix boxes as makes sense. READ MORE >

IBM Gives Away Power Tools for Linux
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Earlier this year, IBM's top brass in the server and chip businesses polished up the image of the 32-bit and 64-bit Power line of processors and said that they were going to try to foster the development of a Power ecosystem that would compete more effectively against the vast X86 ecosystem that dominates the corporate IT environment.

As I See It: Ricardo's Law
by Victor Rozek
Almost 200 years ago, British economist David Ricardo, Adam Smith's successor in England's economic esteem, had a momentous insight about the cost of labor. "The natural price of labor," he declared, "is that price which is necessary to enable the laborers to subsist and to perpetuate their race, without either increase or diminution." To put it another way, if it didn't have to, a company would pay a worker no more than the amount required to feed him and beget his replacement. Although much of humanity's struggle has been a back-breaking effort to free us from the yoke of this axiom, that effort is stalled and gains are being reversed. READ MORE >
