Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. 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. |

I've always wanted to diddle with Linux, but didn't want to buy another machine just to play. I downloaded the ISO from PCLinuxOS and created a bootable CD. Whoda thunk it! I have a Dell 8200 with a DVD, CD-RW, ATI All-in-Wonder video card, 1gb memory and a Creative 5.1 sound card. The distro fired up and recognized everything and runs just fine, albeit a little slowly because it's running from the CD. I may have to rethink my reluctance for moving to Linux.

I know what he means in the sense that I have several friends at work who are interested in trying Linux, because I say I don't worry about viruses, trojans and spyware, but are very reluctant. The livecd format is the best thing that's come along for Linux since the graphical installers. I have one friend who runs his computer almost solely off a livecd. He says he'll get brave and try to install to harddrive one of these days. But I don't think PCLOS will ever meet it's match in beauty or included features. Other's may put out great livecds, but 'Tex's is the bestest'!
