"Linux started out life as a Minix clone built as a hobby by some guy over in Europe," muses Bryan Lunduke in
InforWorld.
"(OK, it wasn't exactly a Minix clone. But it was built by a guy. And he was in Europe.) Since then, Linux has had a lot of different looks. Let's take a look over a few of the most interesting..."

Automating ZFS Snapshots and Tracking Software Updates [24236]
Part 2 of a Series on Oracle Solaris 11 Express Software Management Best Practices
In Part 2 of her series "Software Management Best Practices for Oracle Solaris 11 Express," "Automating ZFS Snapshots and Tracking Software Updates," Ginny Henningsen describes how Oracle Solaris 11 Express uses automated snapshots to deliver Time Slider services, a new feature in the GNOME desktop. Using Time Slider, she writes, users can take periodic snapshots of the active Boot Environment (BE), capturing the software state at regular intervals, which can prove useful if you forget to explicitly create a BE when you update software.
BEs, Henningsen goes on to explain, a built-in safety net when to be used in making software changes, much like Live Upgrade environments in Oracle Solaris 10. In Oracle Solaris 11 Express, the root file system is implemented using Oracle Solaris ZFS, so BEs are basically Oracle Solaris ZFS snapshots that are readable/writable and activated for booting. This underlying technology enables users to periodically generate snapshots of BEs just like you can take a snapshot of any Oracle Solaris ZFS volume.

Oracle Secure Global Desktop Delivers Access to Development Environments [24218]
Oracle's Developers Worldwide Have the Access Required for their Work
As the Oracle white paper "Distributed Development Using Oracle Secure Global Desktop" explains, the Oracle Product Development IT Group (Oracle PDIT) employs Oracle Secure Global Desktop as a gateway to development
environments used by Oracles software development teams working worldwide on Oracle Fusion, Oracle E-Business Suite, and various other Oracle applications. These software developers use Oracle Secure Global Desktop to access X Windows applications (xterm, fvwm, gnome) running on Solaris OS or Linux servers in the data center, giving them access to various graphical development tools such as Oracle JDeveloper, as well as systems running Microsoft Windows. Oracle PDIT has thousands of concurrent users spread across multiple Oracle Secure Global
Desktop arrays around the globe. By this means, Oracle is able to provide its software development teams the access they require to their specific developer environments from any location, reliably and without performance degradation. In addition, administrators can centrally administer access to individual developer environments across multiple locations worldwide.
