More Details Emerge on IBM's Upcoming Power6 Server Launch
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

IBM, like most other server makers, doesn't like to talk about upcoming product launches because such talk can have an adverse effect on sales in the current quarter. That's one of the reasons why Big Blue is not talking about its upcoming Power6 server launch, and it is also why the company has done nothing to confirm or deny some of the rumors that are running around about Power6 being delayed. But if some of the sources I have heard from are right, then the Power6 launch is imminent. READ MORE >

Sun Boots Solaris 10 on "Rock" Sparc Processors
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

Sun Microsystems has hit another milestone on its way toward the delivery of servers based on its future "Rock" Sparc RK processor, which sure is a lot better than having a millstone around its neck as often happens with advanced chips. Sun announced that only 15 weeks after taping out and only six weeks after getting back first silicon versions of the Rock chip, the company has its Solaris 10 Unix variant running on the processor in alpha editions of its upcoming "Supernova" servers.

Startup 3Leaf Systems Looks to Shake Up Server Virtualization
by Timothy Prickett Morgan

A Silicon Valley startup with some prominent venture capital backers called 3Leaf Systems came out of stealth mode this week, and if the company's founders and engineers can accomplish their goals for changing the way server and storage virtualization are done on the X64 platform, they will not only shake up the market for virtualization products on the X64 platform. They might even give the X64 platform some competitive edges against RISC/Unix and mainframe alternatives. READ MORE >


Mad Dog 21/21: Hearts and Minds
by Hesh Wiener

In 1991, Richard Stallman's great project, the GNU operating system, was made whole when Linus Torvalds developed the kernel, Linux, that it had lacked. The next year, there was a marriage. Henceforth, Linux, like GNU before it, was to be distributed under the General Public License (GPL), the legal arrangement that defines Free Software. Today, GNU/Linux is arguably the most popular server operating system, and the GPL is the dominant license for revealed source code software. Yet it is still not certain that there is safe place for both hearts and minds in the unfolding world of software development. READ MORE >
