2008是桌面Linux年？

这个说法简直是年年看相似，年年说，年年盼，年年……其实很多人说起这个的时候自己心里也很清楚这个其实距离现实的距离！从2001年至今，似乎我们年年在盼望一个“桌面Linux年”。可结果呢！如果我们已经拥有，那么何必再期盼2008呢？

或许我们真的应该重新考虑一下linux桌面应用领域的方向，尽管今年（2007年）年初Dell的预装Ubuntu很大程度上增强了Linux的信心，作为PC巨头，DELL是考虑了用户对于Linux桌面的需求下才作出如此决策的，但是Ubuntu的Dell PC似乎表现并不十分出色。

但是Asus的一款装有Linux系统的主板和gPC这两个系统虽然没有标榜为Linux桌面，确实使用了Linux技术的廉价的桌面PC方案；或许这才是Linux桌面作为在有限功能和理想成本条件下的低限度解决方案的不错诠释，这是一种需求：用户只需要基本的internet和桌面功能，而且在成本上无法承担运行Windows的PC硬件和昂贵的WIndows版权费用的情况Linux别出新裁的出路之一！或许OLPC的出发点上我们也可以作出更多的产品供用户选择也未尝不可！也就是，在这个廉价的解决方案领域，基本功能满足得到满足的情况，我们不需要为此而非要强大的硬件加上昂贵的Vista，那是全功能PC的概念。应用汽车市场比较流行的说法叫做“细分市场”。

对于不同功用的桌面需求，一个完善细分市场，垂直的市场深化并非不可能！言PC并非必是最时髦的IntelCPU ＋ Microsoft Windows！建立一个类似手机的全系列桌面产品线有点意思，市场我们可以买到的手机简单廉价的300～500RMB，而SmartPhone动辄3000～5000RMB也是很常见的，桌面PC为何不可以建立一个从100$ ~ 2000$ 涵盖笔记本的全系列功能细分的产品线呢？到时候Linux可能就有比较明确的精确的市场需求和定位了！

What is DevOPS?

Image
What is DevOPS? As be a DevOPS engineer more than five years in the past, I was always asked what is DevOPS or what is a DevOPS role or what should a DevOPS Engineer do? Or even question like how to be a good DevOPS? What? How? should be the most two frequently questions from almost all organizations. As I am working with  Amazon Web Service  for a long time with my DevOPS career, I tried to get answers from AWS guys frist as they have a special section about AWS DevOPS, also they have AWS DevOPS certificate cources, even though I never try such cources. This is the first page said about DevOPS on AWS DevOPS to answer "What is DevOPS?", DevOps is the combination of cultural philosophies, practices, and tools that increases an organization’s ability to deliver applications and services at high velocity: evolving and improving products at a faster pace than organizations using traditional software development and infrastructure management processes. This speed enable...

RPM Build Tips!

Now, I am trying to build a Linux system based on the Fedora Core Release! Working with the RPM system in deep.The unpackaged file terminate the build process under RPM 4.x! Unpackaged files message in RPM-4.1 and following RPM version 4.1 and following demonstrate a new behaviour in the rpmbuild process. Previously, a build process might place any number of files, say in the %install stanza, when running the make install part of a Makefile , in the customary /var/tmp/%{name}-root/ BuildRoot (the RPM_BUILD_ROOT ). Once through that part of the Makefile , it can then completely ignore these files in the %files binary packaging stanza. This often happens when an upstream maintainer adds, or deletes items from new directory spurs in the make install , and the change might be missed during an unattended or automated rebuild. This option permits careful packagers to cross check the quality of their packaging. So as a cross check, /usr/lib/rpm/check-files is now enabled during ...
