Samsung, Red Hat to Work on Linux Drivers for Future TechThe metaverse is expected to uproot system design as we know it, and Samsung is one of many hardware vendors re-imagining data center infrastructure in preparation for a parallel 3D world. Samsung is working on new memory technologies that provide faster bandwidth inside hardware for data to travel between CPUs, storage and other computing resources. The company also announced it was partnering with Red Hat to ensure these technologies have Linux compatibility. |

FF3 on Linux OS
I've been testing the RC's and the final (with Adblock and CustomizeGoogle) on Mepis7 and Mint5. I was not convinced of the announced advantages: it takes FF3 longer to get the page, the heavier the page the longer it takes. It even was a reason to switch back from Mint5 to Mepis7 ! It seems there exist objective measurements that show that FF3 on Linux behaves different (and less swift) than on Win. Could it be that FF3 was written mainly on - and for - Win-systems?

Optimize your code for XP/Vista, which has 90+% of the desktop market and runs your direct browser competitor (i.e. IE) or waste a zillion code hours attempting to optimize your code for 9 bazillion flavours all fighting over 2-3% of the market.
Tough call - NOT.
