- IBM Developer Networks/M. Tim Jones: Next-generation Linux file systems: NiLFS(2) and exofs
- "Linux continues to innovate in the area of file systems. It supports the largest variety of file systems of any operating system. It also provides cutting-edge file system technology. Two new file systems that are making their way into Linux include the NiLFS(2) log-structured file system and the exofs object-based storage system. Discover the purpose behind these two new file systems and the advantages that they bring."
- Linux Weekly News/Jonathan Corbes: The 2009 Linux Kernel Summit
- "The 2009 Linux Kernel Summit was held in Tokyo, Japan on October 19 and 20. Jet-lagged developers from all over the world discussed a wide range of topics. LWN's Jonathan Corbet was there, and has written the following summaries."
- h-online/Thorsten Leemhuis: Kernel - Log Discussions at the 2009 Kernel Summit, FatELF in the firing line, new graphics drivers
- "This year's Kernel Summit saw Linux developers, led by Linus Torvalds, discussing the development process and gaining an insight into how Google uses the Linux kernel in-house. Ulrich Drepper and Alan Cox think universal binaries in Linux are a step in the wrong direction. Various graphics drivers have recently been updated to add new functionality."
- Ars Technica/Chris Foresman: Web Open Font Format backed by Mozilla, type foundries
- "Type designers and Web designers have reached a consensus on a format specification for embedding fonts on the Web. Mozilla is already including support for the font format in Firefox 3.6, and wide adoption could come sooner than many expected."
- CNET News/Darius Chang: How to run Quake III and HD videos on a Netbook
- "Most Netbooks are unable to render high-definition videos, not to mention run 3D games. In fact, the standard Intel Atom processor and integrated graphics chipset can barely handle Flash-heavy Web sites.
- However, it's beginning to seem like the limitation is not on the hardware, but the drivers. Martin Mohring, from the Linux Foundation, was at a Mobile Dev Camp event in Germany. There, he showed an MSI Wind U115 with an Atom Z530 1.6GHz/Intel GMA 500 combo not only playing an HD video clip, but also running Quake III at about 35fps. The secret? This Netbook is using Moblin Linux, which has optimized drivers to push the graphics performance to another level."
- h-online/Thorsten Leemhuis: Linux-Kongress 2009: New filesystems, optimised programming
- "Prominent open source personalities presented a host of information about current and future developments in Linux at the Linux-Kongress 2009 conference. This time, filesystems were discussed in several presentations. Among the topics were the advantages of Ext4 and Btrfs, fast Ext4 filesystem checks, and kernel and userspace tricks for minimising the time-consuming movements of read/write heads, all of which can speed up some tasks by several orders of magnitude!"
- Alexandra Leisse (troubalex): Organize a Booth and Keep Your Sanity
- "After having a quick chat with Kévin Ottens on IRC we agreed that it would be useful to write up a a small how-to explaining the Art of Booth Organization™ as a follow up on the how-to for sprints I posted earlier. He has been poking me about it repeatedly, so voilà, Monsieur, finalement, c’est fait."
Reviews and Essays
- The VAR Guy/Dave Courbanou: SUSE Studio: Point-and-Click Linux Appliances
- "It has been a few months since Novell launched the SUSE Appliance program. So we checked in with Novell to see how the effort was going so far. Matt Richards, director, emerging technologies, and Steve Hale, VP and worldwide data center channel lead, offered me a few updates on Oct. 30. Here’s a recap of my conversation."
- tech-no-media.com/Erlik: Desktop Linux needs salesmen!
- "Many Linux enthusiast are despairing of the low uptake of desktop Linux and its poor availability in high street shops. This is especially frustrating because most of the people using desktop Linux would consider it to be a superior solution to the Windows based machines on offer (and it probably is). I think I have fingered one of the causes for this problem though: desktop Linux needs salesmen!"
- CNET News/Matt Asay: Novell cuts 3 percent of its workforce, plus benefits
- "Linux jobs in the United States are booming, up 6 percent since January, according to data from Dice.com. This will come as small consolation to Novell employees, however, which weathered another round of layoffs at the Waltham, Mass.-based company."
- CoolThings.com: Mavizen TTX02 Race Bike Includes A Web Server, Wi-Fi And Linux On Board
- "A laptop on wheels. That's what Mavizen is calling their new TTX02 race bike, which comes with an integrated computer on board.
- Yep, it's the most computing-friendly bike put together. Probably the only one ever. With an operational web server setup running Linux, Wi-Fi and a dedicated IP address, you can literally take your websites with you while you're hitting the road."
Atenção!
- h-online: Brecha no kernel do Linux permite acesso como root
- "Uma falta de referência à um ponteiro nulo no kernel do Linux pode ser explorado para acessar o sistema com privilégios de root. A falha foi corrigida no RC6 da versão 2.6.32, No entanto, algumas distribuições previnem essa vulnerabilidade mesmo sem a correção"
- h-online: Java 6 Atualização 17 corrige várias vulnerabilidades
- "A Sun Microsystems liberou o Java 6 atualização 17, o qual corrige várias falhas de segurança. Isso incluí vários buffer e integer overflows causados ao trabalhar com arquivos de imagem e áudio, o mesmo pode ser explorado pelos miniaplicativos Java e aplicações 'Java Web Start' para aumentar seus privilégios e permitir a infecção do sistema. Um bug no instalador do 'Java Web Start' pode resultar em uma aplicação 'Web Start' não confiável rodando como confiável e assim obtendo mais privilégios. Uma vulnerabilidade na Toolkit de desenvolvimento 'Java Runtime Environment' permite sites injetar e executar códigos."
