Comment VMware ESXi (Score 1) 367

by merced317 (#43052027) Attached to: Among Servers, Apple's Mac Mini Quietly Gains Ground
Want to run Mac OS X in your VMware ESXi infrastructure? It needs to be on Apple branded hardware. With the death of the Xserve, what's a data center to do? Mac Pro is way too much of a space hog for racks. Enter the Mac mini. Sure, no ECC ram, no IPMI, no dual power supplies, etc. However, licensing requirements are pushing this change. If Mac OS X could be legally virtualized on non-Apple branded hardware, I guarantee there would be many fewer Mac mini servers in the data center.

TWiki.net Kicks Out All TWiki Contributors 194

Posted by CmdrTaco from the what-does-that-mean dept.
David Gerard noted an interesting story going down with a relatively minor project that has interesting implications for any Open Source project. He writes "Ten years ago, Peter Thoeny started the TWiki wiki engine. It attracted many contributors at twiki.org. About a year ago, Thoeny founded the startup twiki.net. On 27th October, twiki.net locked all the other contributors out of twiki.org in an event Thoeny called 'the twiki.org relaunch.' Here's the IRC meeting log. All the other core developers have now moved to a new project, NextWiki. Is it a sensible move for a venture capital firm that depends on a healthy Open Source community to lock it out?"
