UnitedLinux Operating System (ZDNet)
ZDNet carries an
in-depth look at UnitedLinux, from Gartner. " UnitedLinux is
scalable to handle server configurations with increased processors, tasks,
threads and users. As such, it supports asynchronous input/output for busy
systems and methods to enhance process scheduling on symmetric
multiprocessors (SMPs) and can be used to build server farms for workload
management. For high availability, UnitedLinux supports Posix-compliant
event logging and notification, dynamic probes for profiling and debugging,
hot-plug PCI support, and record- and event-tracing mechanisms. It also
provides a variety of security features, such as Kerberos network
authentication and basic firewall configuration. At the foundation of
UnitedLinux is a core set of components, including the Linux kernel 2.4.19,
GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) 3.2, glibc 2.2.5, K Desktop Environment (KDE)
3.0 and XFree86 4.2. The 2.4.19 Linux kernel includes several hundred
patches."
