Linux & Open Source News Alert
LinuxWorld's Linux and Open Source News Alert, 11/16/07
LinuxWorld.com Feature Story
1,500 companies adopt Oracle Unbreakable Linux November 15, 2007Oracle Wednesday said that 1,500 companies have signed up for its Unbreakable Linux discount support program since it was announced one year ago.
The number of customers is impressively greater than the number Oracle announced six months ago -- 26. And that was with "virtually no selling at all" of Unbreakable Linux, bragged CEO Larry Ellison during his keynote speech at OpenWorld on Wednesday.
"We did all of this while just building up our Linux sales team," he said.
Unbreakable Linux includes enterprise support for applications running on either Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) or Oracle's close clone, all at half the price of Red Hat's.
"It doesn't matter which Linux distro [Red Hat or Oracle] you're on, Oracle will support you," said Cole Crawford, IT strategist at Dell Inc., during a Tuesday panel at OpenWorld. (Read more)

Linux & Open Source News
LinuxWorld.com Feature Story
A second life for 'Second Life' with open source? October 31, 2007Until recently, the business news media fawned over the Second Life online virtual world. Stories fixated on Second Life "residents" who got rich brokering virtual real estate, or on the numerous corporations and consumer brands rushing to claim their presence within it (by building virtual kiosk centers or "islands"). Virtual world hype trumps open source hype, so little virtual ink has gone into discussing the open source initiative that Linden Lab, the company behind the virtual world, established to further its development.
One of these projects is the Linux version of the Second Life client, the viewer application that runs on the resident's computer and lets the resident interact with the graphical environments of the virtual world. Ever since its release, the Linux client has remained in constant development by an informal team, usually three people. Their work could directly benefit the open source and Linux community beyond Second Life, in the aftermath of the hype.

Linden Lab declined a request for current figures on the number of people using the Linux client. Nonetheless, Jason Giglio, a developer and Second Life resident who actively works on the client, says he heard through the proverbial grapevine that about 5% of registered Second Life residents, or about 10,000 people, visit Second Life with the Linux client. Giglio does client code on a volunteer basis, but it is work related: He says he earns a living managing virtual land and doing contract programming gigs in Second Life. (Read more)
