A FIRM called Feedster has reduced its operating hardware costs by 60 per cent by using SuSE Linux Enterprise Server and Opterons, Novell said today.

According to Novell, Feedster runs both MySQL for AMD 64 and Enterprise server to deliver its services. Nick Heyman, director of operations at Feedster said that SuSE Linux Enterprise Server performed better than Red Hat running on the Opteron.

Unfortunately, there are few details of comparisons in the release from Novell which led Feedster to make its choice. Heyman said his hardware vendor had recommended that the firm use SuSE Linux but we don't know who this hardware vendor is, either. 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.
