Is Ubuntu the Linux OS for Law Firms?
To Vista or not to Vista; is that really the question? With Microsoft's long-awaited operating-system upgrade, well ... upon us ... it might be time to consider alternatives.
Maybe it's time to consider Linux -- or rather a Linux. There are more than a few flavors of this Unix-like open-source operating system in circulation these days (about 300, by one count). One of the commercially backed Linux distributions, Ubuntu, has become something of a darling of the OSS crowd, and it's well worth a look. There's a lot to like in the latest version of Ubuntu -- and a few things to watch out for from an enterprise perspective.
Ubuntu 7.04, previously code-named "Feisty Fawn," was released in April. This is a Linux distribution based on Debian Linux. (A distribution or "distro" is the operating system plus assorted software.) It's available in both desktop and server editions, as well as a few specialized editions. Kubuntu, for example, is a combination of Ubuntu and the KDE environment; Edubuntu is designed for use in classrooms. (No Lawbuntu yet, but who knows?)

Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |
