Red Hat expands 'stack' with JBoss (ZDNet)
ZDNet takes a
look at the Red
Hat Application Stack. "The bundle includes Red Hat Enterprise
Linux, the JBoss Application Server, database-access software called
Hibernate, and the Tomcat Web application server. The stack is certified to
run with open-source database PostgreSQL and includes MySQL, another
popular open-source database."

Stacks of stacks Posted Sep 19, 2006 8:48 UTC (Tue) by man_ls (subscriber, #15091) [Link] Can someone throw some light as to whether this concept of "stack" is appropriate and if it adds anything new to the discussion? I think that the idea of "stack of protocols" in TCP/IP, layering one protocol on top of the last, is valuable and relevant.The first time I heard about this operating system + applications "stack" thing was here on LWN, in a quote from Larry Ellison. Somehow I think that it doesn't add anything, but I'm not really sure. Is it a pseudo-concept, that lumps unrelated things together? The LWN editor for this piece of news seems to think so, as can be gathered from the single quotes in 'stack'.
Stacks of stacks Posted Sep 19, 2006 12:58 UTC (Tue) by kpower (subscriber, #37136) [Link] Although I cannot verify it atm the moment, I've heard the term 'stack'used in reference to OS + Applications for many years, certainly since the mid-90s. Similar to the OSI Network model, it is a logical description of an OS and applications, each providing specific functionality layered atop each other. Sometimes the analogy fits, sometimes it doesn't.
