Daily Friction #350

Surf to the top 50 photography websites, check out FujiFilm’s new 3D Camera, learn why Richard Stallman thinks cloud computing is a trap and how to build cloud computing using Linux, load balance your networked services with Linux, get a GUI for IPTables, find great bargains and more in today’s edition of the Daily Friction.

Software and Services

  • Graphical Firewall Clients for Linux Desktops - The Linux kernel has a built-in firewall called IPTables. Therefore, regardless of your (Linux) distro of choice, the firewall in use will always be the same. But while some distros ship with a gui client to configure and manage the firewall, others do not. Fedora, Mandriva, Parsix, and Sabayon, are example of Linux distros that install a graphical firewall client by default.

Hardware

Information

  • Cloud computing is a trap, warns GNU founder Richard Stallman - The concept of using web-based programs like Google’s Gmail is “worse than stupidity”, according to a leading advocate of free software.
  • Cloud computing with Linux - You can’t read a technical Web site these days without some mention of so-called cloud computing. Cloud computing is really nothing more than the provisioning of computing resources (computers and storage) as a service. Along with that comes the ability to dynamically scale the service to additional computers and storage in a simple and transparent way. All this is similar to the ideas behind utility computing, in which computing resources were viewed as a metered service, as is the case for more traditional utilities (such as electricity or water). What’s different is not the goal behind these ideas but the existing technologies that have come together to make them a reality.
  • Linux Virtual Server: Load Balance Your Networked Services - With increasing workload on web and mail servers, scalable server on a cluster of computers is found to be an effective solution. The Linux Virtual Server is a one such highly scalable and highly available server built on a cluster of real servers. It is extremely fast and allows load balancing of services like web, mail and media services. It has an advanced load balancer running on the Linux operating system.
