A Report from LinuxForum 2006 (Groklaw)

[Posted March 6, 2006 by ris]

Groklaw has coverage of LinuxForum 2006, in Copenhagen, Denmark. "LinuxForum runs over two days: Friday (today) is more business-minded and Saturday is for the geeks... er... I mean... the more technically minded. Thus, today's program was definitely of more interest to the wider Groklaw audience. Tomorrow will be exciting too, but only for some Groklawians. Also, it will be harder to report, so you will have to make do with my report from today." Day 2 coverage is also available.

Opteron can beat Power6

Posted Mar 6, 2006 18:20 UTC (Mon) by genius (guest, #19981) [Link]

Power6 has 750 million transistors.

A dual-core Opteron has 233 million transistors. A quad-core can have 466 million. Add a huge cache, and Opteron is hands down the winner!

Life is better without Intel, Power6 and Nvidia.

"genius" has a long track record of posting trolling, useless, and off-topic comments.

I have no idea why.

A Report from LinuxForum 2006 (Groklaw)

Posted Mar 12, 2006 21:29 UTC (Sun) by stock (subscriber, #5849) [Link]

inside the presentation by Andreas Pleschek from IBM recently at
LinuxForum, Copenhagen its reported that another noteworthy action of
IBM's part is the contract cancellation with Microsoft. That's the really
significant thing and shows just how much IBM really is committed to
eating their own dog food, i.e. FLOSS.

The cancellation is sofar not really reported elsewhere, like in
BusinessWeek, eWeek, news.com, CNN, FOX or MSNBC. THAT'S NEWS in
itself. So keep your eyes focused on this one, because, as always the
real news which matter, ain't reported in MainStream press.

IBM dumps MS Office and Windows :

SUN and IBM join the ODF (Open Document Format) Alliance :

This means that IBM has canceled the MS Office contract.
