In a Flash, Adobe's 64-Bit Flash for Linux Is Back
It was only a month ago that Adobe cut off Linux's AIR, so bloggers may be excused if they were a bit surprised by last week's news. Namely? In yet another twist in the company's on-again/off-again relationship with our favorite open source operating system -- a roller-coaster ride that involved taking away 64-bit Flash for Linux last year -- Adobe has now apparently seen fit to bring it back again. Don't look now, but those neck pains you feel just may be whiplash, and you're not the only one.

Test-Driving VirtualBox 4.1 on Linux: Bumpy but Pretty Good
Oracle released VirtualBox 4.1 on July 19 with a slew of improvements ranging from usability improvements to rasing the ceiling for RAM to 1TB for 64-bit hosts. With 4.1, we decided to take VirtualBox out for a spin and see how it handles.
I've been using desktop virtualization since the early days, when VMware was a scrappy little company shipping a nearly unheard-of product — a desktop virtualization tool that would let you run Windows in VM in Linux. No more dual-booting for those folks who had to have access to Microsoft Word or QuickBooks but wanted to enjoy Linux as their desktop of choice.
Fast forward to 2011 and users have a lot more choice. VirtualBox is at the top of the list for Linux users for a number of reasons: It's free as in cost and speech, because it's GPL'ed. It's packaged up for a number of distributions and easy to install, and it's easy(ish) to use. Let's take a look at the latest release.
Typically, I use VMware Workstation. In part out of force of habit, in part out of necessity. I'd tried VirtualBox in the 3.x days, and found it wanting quite a bit. VMware, though a pain to install and pay for "just works" for me. With VirtualBox 4.1 I wanted to give VB another go and see if it'd improved enough to turn to for my day to day work.
It was really easy to install VirtualBox 4.1 — and would have been even easier if I wasn't looking to go with the very latest release. I'm using Linux Mint 11, which already has VirtualBox in its (well, Ubuntu's) repos, but I needed to add Oracle's repos for 4.1. This took about two minutes and a short dive into my /etc/apt/sources.list.
Well, almost. While the main package is GPL'ed, some extensions for VirtualBox that provide niceties like USB 2.0 support, RDP, and PXE boot are in an extension pack that is under a proprietary license. It's also free as in beer, but it requires a separate download. Again, it's easy to install, but one additional step.
Finally, on Linux Mint, I also had to add my user to the vboxusers group as well. How's this compare with installing, say, VMware? I'd say VirtualBox has a slight edge given that VirtualBox often requires compiling kernel modules — which requires installing a bunch of packages for many users that don't necessarily have all the kernel headers and development tools to compile them on-hand.
Most of my use of desktop virtualization boils down to testing Linux distros. It's been more than a decade since I needed Windows, and I'm pretty light on working with the BSDs. I check in on them now and again, but for the most part my use is about running various Linux distros to test the latest and greatest or to for reference. (For example, installing or using a program on Debian-based vs. some of the popular RPM-based distros.)
This time around I tried VirtualBox with the experimental images for Debian GNU/Hurd, a BitNami virtual machine for VMware, and loading up a couple of regular distros from scratch.
The results were a bit of a mixed bag. The Debian GNU/Hurd install went well, until it was time to reboot and try it out. At that point, it froze entirely. I'm not entirely sure if that's a problem with VirtualBox or Hurd, or a combination of both. I was able to install and run Debian GNU/Hurd under KVM, but there's a lot of work that needs to be done yet to get it ready for prime time.
Unfortunately, things didn't go very well trying to import the machine from BitNami. I got a slew of errors before even getting to the point of trying to turn the VM on.
Installing regular distros, that went well. VirtualBox handles those just fine, or at least the handful I tried. Admittedly, I didn't try every Linux distro.
A couple of comments on the usability of VirtualBox: it's good but not great. VirtualBox has a few rough edges that really make me scratch my head. For example, if you want to install a Linux distribution in VMware it's pretty simple to figure out how to add an ISO image to boot from. You don't get the option to add an ISO image to VirtualBox until you start the "first run wizard" and then it's not intuitive. You can only add an image by clicking a fairly non-obvious folder icon on the right-hand side of the dialog next to a drop-down menu that shows the physical optical drives.
The defaults are very resource stingy, at least in my opinion. For example, I've run into problems with VMs in VirtualBox because it provides such a stingy amount of video RAM for its virtual machines. It also is very conservative about RAM, disk sizes, etc. This isn't a major deal — you can configure all of this — it just takes a bit longer than it should and can be frustrating if you're creating a lot of VMs.
For grins, I thought I'd see what would happen if I tried booting a Mac OS X DVD in VirtualBox. As most folks know, Apple doesn't want you running OS X on non-Apple hardware and is pretty touchy about running it in a VM as well. VirtualBox does have some support for OS X Server, but it's apparently limited to Mac hardware — when I tried to boot the DVD I got an error saying the platform is not supported. I'm not dinging VirtualBox for this one, though. It's one thing if VirtualBox has trouble running an OS that's not specifically designed to prevent being run on standard hardware, but the VirtualBox devs aren't exactly getting a lot of support from Cupertino to run Mac OS X on Linux.
As much as I would have liked to have road-tested the 1TB RAM limit for 4.1, I don't have any machines with that kind of RAM. It is pretty cool that they're supporting that, though.
VirtualBox has a couple of features I really like that are worth mentioning. For example, you can set up a VM for remote display so that you can run a VM on one machine but view its display on another. Even better, VirtualBox offers VBoxHeadless to run VMs on systems without any local display at all. I haven't used this one extensively yet, but look for a tutorial soon on running Linux headless.
VirtualBox 4.1 is pretty darn good, especially given what you pay for it. Is it as good as VMware? No. But, despite a number of minor annoyances, I have to say that I do really like the latest iteration of VirtualBox. It's not quite as easy to use or as intuitive as VMware Workstation — but at the low, low price of "free," it's hard to complain too much.
Whether you want to run multiple Linux distros, run Windows on top of Linux, or Linux on top of Windows, VirtualBox should be your first stop.

Test Driving GNU Hurd, With Benchmarks Against Linux
Last week there was a GNU Hurd status update, which generated a fair amount of attention as it stated there are plans for a Debian GNU/Hurd release in conjunction with Debian "Wheezy" when it's out in late 2012 or early 2013. After being in development for more than 20 years, the Hurd is finally taking some shape. The Debian GNU/Hurd installer for Wheezy is even now working, which I tried out and ended up porting the Phoronix Test Suite to GNU Hurd. In this article is a brief look at Debian GNU/Hurd along with the first-ever benchmarks of Debian GNU/Hurd against Debian GNU/Linux.

Linux Foundation Releases New White Paper on FOSS Compliance for Suppliers
The Linux Foundation strives to provide relevant, useful guidance to organizations setting up their free and open source software (FOSS) compliance programs. Last month, we released a white paper titled “A Five Step Compliance Process for FOSS Identification and Review.”
Now, we are releasing a freely available new white paper “FOSS Compliance Practices for Supplied Software.” It examines compliance practices needed when software supplied by a third party vendor is brought into the code baseline of a product to be distributed externally. The white paper discusses requirements a company should impose upon its suppliers to disclose FOSS in their deliverables and to provide what’s needed to achieve compliance. The paper also discusses steps a company can take to review and validate the FOSS disclosures made by its suppliers. In addition to those topics, the white paper addresses measures a company can undertake to assess its suppliers’ compliance capabilities.
Take a look!
Open Compliance Training Class Offered in Conjunction with LinuxCon North America
Once again, an onsite open compliance training course will be offered directly after a major Linux Foundation event. We’ll deliver LF384, “Overview of Open Source Compliance End-to-End Process” right after LinuxCon North America in Vancouver, on Saturday August 20, 2011 at the conference hotel. It’s important to The Linux Foundation to provide every opportunity to the community for learning and exchanging ideas about compliance. By hosting this one-day training course in conjunction with LinuxCon, we hope to increase access to important content on open compliance and to provide a classroom environment for collaboration on this topic.
The full-day course focuses on how to organize and manage the compliance function so that your company can benefit from FOSS while complying with all license obligations. If you’ll be responsible for implementing your company’s compliance program, you’ll surely profit from this class. Just go to http://www.regonline.com/Register/Checkin.aspx?EventID=923767 to register. And, by the way, you can register for the course even if you don’t plan to attend LinuxCon. If you have any questions about registration, please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . If you have questions about the course content or you’re interested in the course but can’t make the event in Vancouver and want to find out about other course offerings, please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

The Five Best Linux Netbook Distributions: 2011 Edition
Though netbooks have waned a bit in favor of tablet devices, there's still a lot of demand for netbooks and netbook-friendly Linux distros in certain circles. Whether you're looking for a brand-new netbook or to keep an older device current, there's plenty of options for the Linux crowd. Let's take a look at the top five netbook Linux distros.
A lot has happened in the last year for netbook distributions, and there have been quite a few changes in our selection for 2011 compared to the 2010 line-up of best Linux netbooks.
What happened? Well, a couple of releases that weren't quite ready for release yet finally hit the shelves. On top of that, a few releases sort of disappeared. The gOS release went offline and is now considered discontinued. Puppy Linux is still going strong, but with the current crop of netbook releases, it didn't look quite as attractive this year as one of the suggestions.
Ready for this year's list? Let's get started with the most likely suspect, Ubuntu.
With the Ubuntu 11.04 release, the project has folded the Netbook Remix into the main desktop release. That means that the project no longer has a current, separate netbook release. Why's that? With 11.04, otherwise known as Natty Narwhal, Ubuntu has made its Unity desktop the default across the board. (Well, the "board" being the main release and the former netbook release — you still have Kubuntu, Xubuntu, and so on with their respective desktop choices, of course.)
The Unity interface is, at least in part, targeted for smaller screens and (eventually) touchscreens and tablets. There's been an effort to reduce the amount of screen space necessary by moving menus up into the top panel rather than in a titlebar for each application.
There are some caveats, though. Unity is still fairly new, and it has some bugs and rough edges to deal with in the 11.04 release. It's most definitely not for everyone. Some users have loved it, other Ubuntu users have found it a bit frustrating. Me? I'm somewhere in the middle. I have my gripes with Unity, and I see some benefits. This is most definitely a matter of taste.
The good thing, though, is that it's free to download and try. So even if you wind up not loving Unity on 11.04, all you need to do is move on to the next distro. No harm, no foul. Also? Be sure to check back with the 11.10 release in October. The Ubuntu folks are working hard on polishing and improving Unity for this release and now that it's had time to shake out and gather public feedback, it's almost certain to be mightily improved by 11.10. If you don't like it now, it might just win you over in October.
If you want to try Ubuntu and can't find the link to its download page, you're just not trying very hard. However, we'll save you a few clicks and point you in the right direction. Note that they have a "show me how" button on the download Ubuntu page for creating a USB stick for netbooks using Macs, Windows, or Linux. Nice touch, Ubunterinos!
Finally making an appearance, we have Google's ChromeOS. Google announced that it would be building ChromeOS (after months of rumors about the company's Linux plans) in July of 2009. It only took almost two years to go from announcement to widely available products.
What's ChromeOS? A Linux-based netbook distribution that has a minimalist browser-only interface. Basically, if you've used the Chrome Web browser on Linux, you've gotten about 90% of the experience already.
So what's to like about ChromeOS? It's an interesting and minimalist approach to using a computer. On a netbook, if you have reliable connectivity, it's a reasonable approach for some users to working. Many of us use little but Web applications anyway — especially when traveling, on the couch, or in the local coffee shop.
The downside to ChromeOS? Well, technically you have to buy a netbook to get it. You can find public images based on the Chromium OS project, but Google isn't releasing official ISOs for ChromeOS — so the only way to get the official goodies is by buying a ChromeOS netbook. That does dampen our enthusiasm a bit for the release. But, for users who want a big name behind the netbook and are ready to adopt the browser-based lifestyle, ChromeOS may be the right option.
What does ChromeOS have that makes it worth ponying up for a new netbook? The current crop of Chromebooks come with long battery life, "instant" on, and bigger screens and roomier keyboards than your typical netbook. If you don't have a netbook already and think that the Web-only lifestyle will fit your needs, ChromeOS may be for you.
Not quite ready to invest in a new netbook just for ChromeOS? You can try out the "vanilla" builds from Hexxeh. You'll find daily images for USB keys, VMware, and VirtualBox that are compiled automatically from ChromiumOS source. Whether a specific build is stable or worth using is iffy, but you can keep trying and follow Hexxeh on Twitter for info about builds. You might also want to check out the Lifehacker piece on setting up a Chromium netbook from Hexxeh builds.
What a difference a year makes! When I compiled the list last year, MeeGo wasn't quite ready to look on netbooks. This year, the MeeGo project has a few releases under its belt and is pretty usable on many netbooks.
MeeGo has a user interface (they like to call it UX) designed from the ground up for netbooks. It also includes applications to integrate with social networks, like Twitter, and has email, calendaring, and a media player custom-designed for the netbook.
There is a word of caution, though. While the MeeGo UX is nifty and generally fine for many users, the MeeGo releases are really meant for developers and reference platforms. The hope is that MeeGo, like ChromeOS, will find its way to commercial products with additional goodies added by the OEMs and downstreams. In other words, the MeeGo experience may not be entirely suitable for inexperienced Linux folks.
Ready to try out MeeGo on your netbook? Head over to the MeeGo Downloads Page and snag one of the MeeGo for Netbooks images. Note that you can grab the stock image or an image that includes the Chrome Web browser (but requires accepting the EULA).
We've already written about reasons Fedora users should upgrade to F15 and GNOME 3 on Fedora 15. While I'm not thoroughly in love with GNOME Shell yet, it has promise — especially on netbooks.
Fedora doesn't have a specific netbook spin right now, but with the main desktop release, Fedora and GNOME Shell make a pretty nifty netbook OS. Fedora, of course, has all the software you'd expect for a full-blown Linux distro.
I suspect that, like Unity on Ubuntu, Fedora 16 and GNOME 3.2 will be even better for netbooks (and regular desktops). The GNOME folks have been taking plenty of feedback about GNOME Shell, and we should see some improvements, tweaks, and new features coming later this year that really make it sing.
Ready to get started with Fedora on your netbook? Head over to the download page and then check out the USB flash drive install page.
Don't worry — we've got something for the KDE fans, too. Well, we should say, the KDE project has something for the netbook fans. Specifically, there's the KDE Plasma Netbook UI for smaller screens.
Actually, you're not strictly confined to the smaller screens — you can run the Plasma Netbook interface on any size screen you want. Want to use the Plasma Netbook interface on a 27" screen? Knock yourself out.
Looking for a KDE-centric distro to go with that netbook interface? Our first choice for KDE is openSUSE. Head over to the download page for openSUSE 11.4 and grab the Live KDE image. You'll find the instructions for creating a USB stick on the openSUSE wiki.
If you're feeling particularly adventurous, you can set up Tumbleweed and go from static releases to a rolling release. This is, in my opinion, what makes openSUSE the best distro for netbooks and KDE. If you want to stay on the leading (but not bleeding) edge of open source software, Tumbleweed is a good way to go.
These days, I spend a lot less time using a netbook than when they were first released. I travel a lot less, and I prefer my 12.1" ThinkPad to 10.1" netbooks. But I still use a netbook for some stuff, and I love the fact that I have a ridiculous number of options. Plus, nobody says you have to stick with a netbook for a netbook distribution — I've found that GNOME Shell and KDE's Plasma Netbook Shell work just fine on smaller laptops as well as genuine netbooks.

The Linux Desktop: We've Arrived.
Linux Desktop articles are all over the place. I can hardly open up a browser without tripping over one. Most of them are negative whine-fests, complaining that Linux is too hard for new users, or has become too dumbed-down for technical users, or the fonts are ugly, or the next generation desktop environments are too different, or... well I could go on, but I think you get the point.

Javascript PC Emulator Runs Linux
Fabrice Bellard, creator of the multiple architecture emulator QEMU and FFmpeg, amongst other open source projects, has unleashed his Javascript powered PC emulator. In its current state, it boots a stripped down, text mode Linux implementation and runs within a modern browser. Interesting curio or a potentially useful tool?

Keeping the Desktop Dream Alive: Q&A With Linux Foundation's Jim Zemlin, Part 1
In 2007, Linux was heralded as the desktop of the future. However, the history of Linux on the desktop has been a story of strong support from a relatively small group of diehards but little real impact on the market as a whole. And by last year, there was even talk that the dream of the Linux desktop had been shattered. Why is Linux not doing so well on front-end desktops and on laptops? LinuxInsider sat down with Linux Foundation Executive Director Jim Zemlin for an exclusive interview to get to the bottom of things.
Keeping the Desktop Dream Alive: Q&A With Linux Foundation's Jim Zemlin, Part 2
Where is Linux going? For Part 2 of this interview, LinuxInsider continued speaking with Linux Foundation Executive Director Jim Zemlin to discuss Linux in a wider variety of technology, new programs intended to make it easier for businesses to switch to open source computing, and open source's ability to compete in the consumer mobile space. "A third-party provider could set that up as a service and allow a turnkey approach to creating white-label app stores for all kinds of different devices," he said.
Linux Foundation Releases New FOSS Compliance White Paper
The Linux Foundation continues to provide simple, straightforward guidance to organizations setting up their open source compliance programs. Last month, we released a free webinar titled “Six Tips to Getting Started With Open Source Compliance.” Before that, we published “Keys to Managing a FOSS Compliance Program.”
Now, we’ve released a freely available new white paper, “A Five-Step Compliance Process for FOSS Identification and Review” that discusses key aspects of two compliance actions: identifying open source in a product’s code baseline, and performing architecture and license reviews on the path to approving FOSS inclusion. The white paper reviews inputs, outputs, and essential process elements involved in five interrelated compliance steps: scanning source code; positively identifying FOSS, its licensing, and its provenance; reviewing licenses and license compatibility issues; reviewing architectural interactions of proprietary and open source components; and achieving final approval for FOSS use. So, download the white paper for some useful information.
Upcoming white papers will address steps involved in satisfying license obligations, and ways to work with suppliers on their compliance responsibilities.

LinuxCon Preview: Marten Mickos on Why Linux Dominates in Cloud
As we prepared to announce our LinuxCon schedule this week, I talked to one of our keynote speakers, Eucalyptus Systems CEO Marten Mickos. Eucalyptus was one of the first companies on the cloud computing scene and Mickos is among the most respected open source entrepreneurs in the industry (having been CEO of MySQL AB before its acquisition by Sun Microsystems).
Mickos took a few minutes to share his thoughts on cloud computing and Linux, the new Open Virtualization Alliance, and how Linux has shaped our lives over the last 20 years.
I've heard people make the case recently that without Linux, cloud computing would not exist or would still be in the distant future. How has Linux enabled cloud computing, and why is it (Linux) so important for the future of the new enterprise environment?
Mickos: There are many reasons for this. Importantly, Linux became the dominant platform for all things web, so it's natural that Linux continues to be the foundation for the next paradigm: the cloud.
On a more technical note, Linux is an operating system built for scale-out (rather than scale-up). In previous software architectures, scale-up was the dominant design. But in a cloud world, everything has to scale out. That's why Linux is a perfect fit for cloud.
There are other reasons too: the world of software is increasingly flat. Anyone and everyone can participate and contribute. As the leading open source operating system, Linux is the natural magnet for such crowd creativity. That's why Linux evolves faster than other operating system.
Finally, it certainly helps that many of the key technologies needed in a cloud environment are open source products that run well with Linux. To name just a few: KVM, Puppet, Mule, Spring, Hadoop, MySQL and Eucalyptus.
As an early company to the now crowded cloud computing space, what is Eucalyptus doing today to help Linux enterprise and mobile users?
Mickos: You are right that Eucalyptus was among the early pioneers when the project started as an NSF-funded research project in 2007 at UC Santa Barbara. We early on decided to focus on enterprise and mobile users. From a technical standpoint, we chose the GPL license and we wrote the product in Java for highly-scalable, mission-critical use.
The product goes through extensive QA in our own internal cloud, and it's packaged and ready for people to download and put in production. In the past year, we have seen more than 25,000 new Eucalyptus clouds start up all over the world. It's great to know that we are being useful to students, researchers, developers and businesses!
We innovate fast and add new features to the product that our users are requesting. You can see the features of our upcoming release 3.
Because we are fully compatible with the cloud API of Amazon Web Services, you can move any AWS application onto Eucalyptus. Additionally, we make sure we have a strong ecosystem of partners with products that work well with Eucalyptus. This is what enables users of all types to quickly get going with their various cloud projects.
Can you tell us more about the new Open Virtualization Alliance? Why is Eucalyptus investing here, and what do you hope comes from the efforts?
Mickos: KVM is a powerful hypervisor with a great future. The fact that it is embedded in the Linux kernel makes it the obvious choice for Linux-based cloud deployments. Eucalyptus supports all major hypervisors, but we have a natural affinity to the ones under an open source license. In the Open Virtualization Alliance we get to participate in important work on performance enhancements on KVM in general and the KVM-Eucalyptus combination in particular. We share with our users a passion for software that runs fast and scales well.
So, can you give us a sneak peek into what we should expect from your LinuxCon keynote in August?
Mickos: I will talk about the shift of software infrastructure to the cloud paradigm, and about the implications this will have on free and open source software. I happen to believe that the shift to cloud is bigger than the shift to the Internet was fifteen years ago. Nearly all aspects of the software stack are in for a big disruption.
This August also marks the 20th anniversary of Linux. What do you think is the most interesting or important impact Linux has had on the world of technology?
Mickos: You know, I think Linux's most important impact is societal. Linus (Linus Torvalds in Pictures) showed all people on this planet that open collaboration leads to superior results. We need more openness, more transparency and more collaboration in this world. Thanks to Linux, it is happening. We see other areas of society learn from the world of free and open source software. The current big social trend on the mobile web has (perhaps unknowingly) borrowed many characteristic from the Linux project.
That said, Linux has had and continues to have a profound impact on the specific world of technology. There isn't a car or a medical device or a computer that doesn't run some sort of open source software today. Every leading web or mobile service uses open source software. Linux wasn't the first and isn't the only one, but it is the standard bearer of this amazing movement.

More Linux Benchmarks Of The AMD A8-3500M Fusion APU
Earlier this week we delivered launch-day Linux benchmarks of the AMD A8-3500M "Llano" Fusion APU. The results for this next-generation, quad-core Fusion chip were impressive with the graphics and compute power being several times faster than the common AMD E-350 Fusion APU. In that article we just had two other systems the A8-3500M performance was being compared to, but here are some more Linux benchmarks comparing Llano to other systems running Ubuntu 11.04.
