Larry likes to be the first in everything (even sayling), or so I believe. His insinuations upon offer their own Oracle linux distro or even buy Novell has been answered.

Somebody proposes Ubuntu, and show he doesn’t know very well Oracle. Oracle needs to relay on a comercial distro or buidl their own distro, anything else means you don’t understand bussiness. And I didn’t extend myself on this.

Two days later IBM has reacted to Ellison’s interview. Don’t forget IBM inject money in Novell when Novell was in danger, money enough to let Novell buy Suse and Ximian. By this reaction we may asume a non explicit declaration that says, we don’t allow you to come into our protected company and do whatever you want

Let’s what Oracle does now, it could be interesting

This is not first time that I’ve heard Oracle speaking about build their own operating system. In fact, there’re people that considers they got a lot of job already done. For instance, you may writte your tablespaces in a raw device, which is, writting without operating system, and delegate to Oracle software this task, instead of instruct your OS, Oracle does it for you.

… but keep in mind, that Ellison were talking about I’d like to have a complete stack … so he was talking just about a it may be.

As they publish Redhat have bought JBoss and I think it’s a very important new.

It has been told, lately, that Oracle was looking for that, but finally buyer has been Redhat. Now, that everything has finished I asked myself if that story about Oracle wouldn’t be a rumour from JBoss in order to improve price… who knows?

Anyway, I heard voices that afirm Oracle has destroyed very good Java server as Orion after buy it, also, I’ve hear voices that prefer JBoss being bought by Redhat better that Oracle.

Anyway, few of my mates says that Redhat offers good set of products:

• grownable servers (with things as Global Filesystem or Stronghold web server
• ldap server
• java application servers; now with JBoss adquisition

Since Redhat it’s becoming one of the most important companyies in FOSS they have enough money to buy others companyies. Two years ago I was posting in a spanish lug that Oracle and Dell were injecting money in Redhat.

Free and Open Source solutions and bussines are here to stay. Now, that my job forces me to work with non free software I miss it very much.

Via Slashdot I read this note about health problems related to the geek lifestyle although I don’t consider myself very geek in fact I suffer all this problems. I’m not paranoid, in fact I’m suffering this.
Short list is:

1. Horrible Sleep Hygiene
2. Headaches
3. Back Pain
4. Poor Attention Span

The latest one, as a read in the article, is not a healt problem but I never suffer attention problems and I feel that way, mainly since I try to study in the on line university I found myself such way. I know I note it since I start to study.

Everybody is talking about Apple that will offer double boot loader for their news machines, so you can start up both MacOS or WindowsXP… yes, it’s an important new, but, annoying when everybodys talking again and again about the same.
