Governments to Go Ga-Ga for Linux?
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
Munich, Germany. Bergen, Norway. Anytown, USA? Anyborough, England? Quelqueville, France? The first two are not mythical places, but real cities in Europe that have achieved somewhat mythical status in the Linux community because they have decided to put Linux on their desktops and servers, replacing Windows. As Microsoft has so aptly demonstrated in the past decade, the desktop platform is unequivocally linked to the platform in the data center, and those who choose Windows or Linux for one job are apt to choose the same platform for the other.

Top 500 Supers List Dominated by Teraflops-Class Machines
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
It wasn't all that long ago that saying gigaflops meant a lot of computing. Now having a machine in the teraflops class, if the latest ranking of the Top 500 supercomputers is a measure, is not really a very big deal at all, unless you have to program it, cool it, or pay for the electric bill. According to the latest list, which was released yesterday at the International Supercomputer Conference in Heidelberg, Germany, 242 of the most powerful supercomputers on the Top 500 list have at least 1 teraflops of computing power.

IBM, Motorola Partner to Push BladeCenter-Linux Telco Gear
by Timothy Prickett Morgan
The Supercomm telecommunications trade show was underway last week in Chicago, and with a slight uptick in spending by telco giants and a new upgrade cycle perhaps on the horizon if the economy holds, all the big players are chasing the telecom companies with their new blade server architectures. Last week, server maker IBM and the Computer Group unit of telecom equipment maker Motorola announced a partnership that will see the two cooperate on creating server gear for supporting Motorola's telecom software on IBM's Intel-based and Power servers running Linux.

As I See It: If You Can't Be Rich, Be Unsuccessful
by Victor Rozek
Most people who make their living in IT would say they belong to the middle class. And why not? It's the broadest of the classes, spanning every economic station between the poor house and the penthouse. In good times, the ambition of the middle class is to move up. In bad times, it aspires to avoid slippage. And although Americans tolerate periods of economic stagnation, we thrive on upward mobility.
