AIX on the Desktop is Getting the Boot
2008-11-18 von ekkehard.
Today, I was playing with the thought again to purchase an AIX workstation one day when I can afford them, and I was surprised to see that IBM is going to give its Intellistation POWER Series workstations the boot in January ‘09. A black day for AIX on the desktop. I really wonder what’s the problem there, warehouse costs? IBM has a history of burying its best stuff (like OS/2 for instance). Some years ago, I enjoyed hacking away on an RS/6000 workstation running AIX 4.2, and it was a pure joy. Not only the kernel, but also the admin tools, like smit and smitty. Their blade-centric solution uses Windows as a client for workstation application. This truly sounds like IBM wants AIX only for servers anymore. I’m not amused. Although, eXceed on Windows with an XDCMP server running on AIX might also be a viable solution … whatever. But it can’t beat a native POWER box sitting on your desk, that’s for sure.

Richard Stallman Interviewed About Free Software
2008-11-18 von ekkehard.
Yesterday, Australia’s PC Authority interviewed Richard Stallman, the head of GNU and the FSF. In that interview, Stallman talks about free software and the difference to mere open source. A very interesting read!

Ubuntu Linux 8.10 Out Now!
2008-11-01 von ekkehard.
Ubuntu Linux 8.10 (codenamed Intrepid Ibex) is out!
Upgrade from 8.04 worked like a charm (almost, I had to edit the xorg.conf afterwards).
Features include: New versions of GNOME, GCC, X and version 2.6.27 of the Linux kernel.
More links: Desktop features, What is Ubuntu Desktop Edition, 8.10 release notes.
It appears to be a lot faster than the previous release, probably thanks to the new kernel. Someone on Slashdot reports it even outperforms Vista (which is somewhat surprising, because Linux was always faster than Windows, but it’s nice to see its speed being noticed; as a developer I know that the Linux kernel is about 1000 times faster than the Windows kernel; for instance, when it comes to task switching).
