RED HAT ANNOUNCED an Open Virtualisation project at its Red Hat Summit in Boston this week.

The company's goals will be to implement a robust hypervisor in the Linux kernel based upon the Kernel Virtual Machine (KVM) facility and deploy a full suite of virtual machine generation and management tools to leverage hardware and technical staff resources.

Red Hat hopes that this initiative will help make it a leading systems software vendor both for managing virtual machine hosts and supplying systems to run as virtualised servers.

The Linux pioneer also announced the availability of its Red Hat Enterprise Identity, Policy and Audit product that will integrate and interoperate with Microsoft's Active Directory. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
