Microsoft's Patent Plans Worry
Open-Source Supporters
06/05/2004 01:10 AMMicrosoft's new policy for licensing its patents has supporters of
open-source software worried that the company will use a broken
government system for protecting intellectual property to beat back
gains Linux and other competing software have made in the marketplace.
The Redmond, Wash., software maker, which holds about 4,500 patents
covering a broad spectrum of technology affecting desktops, servers,
and more, said in December that it would begin licensing patents to
meet requests from customers, partners, and regulators.

Unisys suddenly loves Linux: Should
Linux users return that love?
08/16/2004 02:19 PM Unisys has long been the main booster -- possibly the only one
besides Microsoft -- of Windows as a mainframe operating system. Now
Unisys says it loves Linux -- but still claims to be a staunch
Microsoft partner -- and it seems like most of its contributions to
the Linux kernel are only useful to Unisys customers. And then there's
the specter of the Unisys GIF patents (now expired), and how the
company used them as weapons against free and open source software
projects only a few years ago. In light of all this, should we welcome
Unisys as a "member of the Linux community" with open arms, or
maintain a skeptical distance until the company proves that it has
truly seen the open source light?

MOSIX Cluster Management 1.13.1 for

04/07/2005 10:26 AMMOSIX is a management system that allows a cluster
of x86 nodes to perform like a parallel computer.
It is particularly suitable to run intensive
computing and massive I/O applications. In a MOSIX
system there is no need to modify applications,
link them with any library, or even assign
processes to different nodes. It is done
automatically, just "fork and forget", like in an
SMP system. MOSIX is geared toward improved
performance, overhead-free scalability and
ease-of-use.

Kernel Mode Linux 2.4.31_001 (For Linux

06/05/2005 11:23 PM
Kernel Mode Linux is a technology which enables
the execution of user programs in a kernel mode.
In Kernel Mode Linux, user programs can access
kernel address space directly. Unlike kernel
modules, user programs are executed as ordinary
processes (except for their privilege level), so
scheduling and paging are performed as usual.
Although it seems dangerous, the safety of the
kernel can be ensured through such methods as
static type checking, software fault isolation,
and so forth.

Openwall Linux kernel patch 2.4.30-ow1
(Linux 2.4 branch)
04/08/2005 10:32 AM
The Openwall Linux kernel patch is a collection of security
"hardening" features for the Linux kernel. In addition to the new
features, some versions of the patch contain various security fixes.
The "hardening" features of the patch, while not a complete method of
protection, provide an extra layer of security against the easier ways
to exploit certain classes of vulnerabilities and/or reduce the impact
of those vulnerabilities. The patch can also add a little bit more
privacy to the system by restricting access to parts of /proc so that
users may not see what others are doing.
