TuxOnIce do a pretty good job for me, takes like 10s ~ 12s. laptop specs are: core i3, sata HD and 4gb ddr3.

Those tests was made using default kernel specs. It would be nice, for comparison, to customize the kernel , and using the awesomeness of CGROUPS: 1 - allocate process into groups with specific memory usage, I/O usage, swapness levels; 2 - exclusive cores for the 3D processes. 3 - higher cpu shares for the 3D processes. All the nice stuff you can do with CGROUPS. One thing is testing the default spec of ubuntu, other is tuning and testing again. Tuning both of the systems to make another benchmark. Not a single mention to cgroups in that benchmark article.

Do not forget the 443 and others SSL doors. Most of those new exploit/connect back/trojans take advantage in those doors, that are generally opened without restrictions.

Now I know why they canceled the job exams (C, Perl and Linux Admin) I was about to do this week for a position at IBM-LTC. =(

I have been using xfce since 2001 on debian... Great desktop environment....

My 2 opnions 1 - lulzsec is a covert ops... from US gov. Bringing chaos to approve censorship in the internet. 2.1 - People that find out a way to exploit a big botnet network and taking advantage of the "heat of revolution" made a lot more people to "donate" their machines to a botnet, exploits, previous hacked documents. 2.2 - People that worked in a way to spread malware for a couple of months or years and built their own botnet network and taking advantage of the "heat of revolution" made a lot more people to "donate" their machines to a botnet, exploits, previous hacked documents. I strongly believe in the number 1.

I built one with Debian Lenny plus I developed a scheduling system in perl using kernel containers + CGroups. So, the research team would think they own a "real" linux and I can share resources in a better way. Also I used perl-cgi to make a containers design, this way no one touchs my real OS. The research leader just use my container design to create and deploy new containers, then the new container is booted in a testing machine so the person can install whatever he needs and cloning later to deploy on the cluster, 400 core + 1.8TB ram.

Since when Japan need help from outside? Last time I went tourist to Japan-Tokyo (2009), the hotel manager went to me with a towel and a soap and said: "Thanks for stay with us you can have it." Then I was: O_o? The hell are you talking about? Why I would need hotel stuff? Then he said: Because your people not from Japan always steal it. Don't even like to remember that, went to police, embassy... Was a fucking mess. He received some sort of punishment like help to collect garbage or donations to someone, not sure.
