Sun Microsystems acquires MySQL

Monopoly Board

I’m sure many know that Sun Microsystems bought MySQL. Jonathan Schwartz gave some history of how the acquisition came about and answered some questions that many have been asking. You can find his blog at Jonathan Schwartz’s Blog: In a Vortex. I think it is a good move for Sun as they move from a proprietary hardware vendor to a open source software company.

Redhat : Fedora 8 on a USB key

I saw this article the other day on the Redhat Magazine feed. I so want to try this out and will when I get some free time. I shall see how well it works. It’s basically putting a live Fedora CD on a flash drive and booting off the flash drive. Very handy and portable too. I wonder how many people have done it and how they like it. If you have tried it and have a comment, post one!

Here is the link to the instructions:
