2-3+4+7+0=10
This equation can be considered mathematically correct. But it also demonstrates how one can easily improve Interoperability between SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 and Windows 7 Active Directory.

The demise of the operating system. Film at 11.
A couple of weeks ago a colleague mused whether "hardware will become the roadkill of cloud computing" and came to the following conclusion:
"...Successful cloud service providers must offer state-of-the-art cloud-based services. And that requires state-of-the-art hardware, virtualization and security-processing technologies to handle the demands of increasingly intelligent workloads."
And I agree. Except that he totally missed one key component, an absolute necessity to deliver a cloud story, a datacenter, or any sort of computing for that matter. Can you tell what that is?

Keep it ... stable, secure and supportable ... Maintenance!
Do you ever wonder what all this "maintenance" is about?
Why is maintenance such a big deal?
Why do we care about it? Why is it important?
Do you ever wonder how we plan for and manage maintenance?

ext4: Still not there yet - and not worth it anyway
When reading Ext4 Within Striking Distance of XFS the other day, I could not help virtually patting Matthias Eckermann, who owns the storage strategy for SUSE Linux Enterprise on my team, and our file system engineers led by Jeff Mahoney on their backs.
This is a nice confirmation of us shipping XFS as a supported file system for four major releases, from SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 8 to version 11 today.
And as Matthias has analyzed in detail, Btrfs which debuted in SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP1 is the future of local file systems...

From Gerald to Larry: One Down, Solaris to Go
So I hear you are killing OpenSolaris. Admittedly it never was all that successful as an Open Source project, unlike the Linux Kernel, Apache, Firefox, GCC, Samba, and hundreds/thousands of others that make up openSUSE and SUSE Linux Enterprise.
While I guess I can see your logic, I sympathize with those volunteers who had engaged. Luckily, there are communities around other operating systems which are a lot more open than OpenSolaris ever was, and I hope they will find a new home.
Let's be clear on one thing, though. This is not the end of our quest; Solaris shall be next...

Live at BrainShare 2010 in Amsterdam: Setting up a retail store in just minutes
Setting up the IT systems at a new site is one of the more challenging tasks for an IT operation. And usually a time-consuming one. That's especially true in retail. If your cash registers are down your are not in business. Period. So you really want to get things right.
At BrainShare in Amsterdam we will demonstrate setting up a retail store from just a USB stick with a real Point of Service application running on real hardware, installed with SUSE Linux Enterprise Point of Service, in just a couple of minutes from scratch!

Challenges of a Product Manager in the Open Source World - Part Three
In the first two blogs in this series of three we had discussed, how communities influence a product manager's life; and we looked at the concrete example of the Linux Kernel version for SUSE Linux Enterprise 11 Service Pack 1.
And I wondered: What would you have done?
