Open to the opensource

Linux submitted by andilek 02/21/07

This mean release as much documentation as you can, release sources of your drivers if possible.
This would get you rid of supporting all open source projects, but will give all these projects to support your hardware. And also this would bring you new customers from open source community. 1 Comment »

VMWARE for FreeBSD

Operating Systems, Servers and Storage submitted by andilek 02/20/07

I heard about your conception to use vmware on servers for virtualization and I like it a lot. However to use it I need to buy windows server or use RHN/SUSE.
As I prefer FreeBSD as my OS, I would liek to ask you to support vmware on FreeBSD too.
For my desktop I would love to pay for vmware, because I need it to emulate my servers for tests.
For my servers I use different virtualization method, but if I have a chance to solve HA clusters on vmware level, I believe I would use it. However I want to use FreeBSD as a host, not linux, not windows. 1 Comment »

FreeBSD or *BSD support

Service and Support submitted by andilek 02/20/07

Right now there is lots of companies and projects connected to *BSD.
Most of them have difficulties when growing to clusters and external FC storage systems, due to lack of drivers and support for these.
I believe there is huge opportunity for Dell to get this market. 30 Comments »
