Koristim Linux već skoro deceniju, a u poslednje vreme sve više ljudi oko mene istražuje razne distribucije, pa reših da kažem što šta na tu temu. Naime, danas među cyber populacijom vlada neka moda da se furaju Linuxi i to ovi fancy sa Compiz Fusion efektima, a polovina tih ljudi ne zna ni šta je Linux, ni kako radi. Da se razumemo, nemam ništa protiv fancy GUI-ja i ostalih eye-candy efekata, čak ih i ja koristim u velikoj meri, ali konzola je i dalje najmoćnija alatka u UNIX svetu. Pa da krenem redom…
Šta je Linux i čemu on služi?
Verovatno ste već negde čuli sledeću opisnu ‘definiciju’:

I have been a Linux user for seven years, and have used it exclusively for five of those years now. The more I learn, the more interested I become. It is time I give something back, regardless how simple or complex an issue might be. One time saving trick I have been using for a long while now is using simple bash scripts to complete tasks. Running two different flavors of Linux has tought me a lot. I have been a Debian/Ubuntu user for a while, and recently started using CentOS. Both of these have the Linux kernel at heart, but work in different ways. I have two scripts I put together to make updating quick and easy. The first part is the script for the Debian based APT system, and the latter will be for the Red Hat based RPM system.
APT
Okay, lets start. The first script will work for pretty much any Debian (.deb) based system, and it goes like this: Open a text editor of your choice - Vim, Emacs, gedit, etc, and enter in this string of commands. apt-get update apt-get update apt-get dist-upgrade -y apt-get autoremove -y apt-get autoclean

Having been around the UNIX world since the late 70's (UCB BSD ancillary member), seeing it grow, fracture, lay dormant for several years, get beat in the market place by Windows and Macintosh (pre-OSX), and then finally seeing it take its rightful place in an ever increasing complex world of computing, I am reminded of the once simple concept of the USB BSD development philosophy:
"Simplicity is better than complexity if the latter prevents completion."

I've some servers with VMWare 2 installed on linux machines, my latest v2 was installed on a debian x64 (AMD64) host, as you can read from my previous posts I've done some mods and I'm quite happy about it, see:
HOWTO: VMWare Server 2, Disable Web Server Interface
Install VMWare Server 2 on a Debian Lenny AMD64
Access VMWare Server 2 remote virtual machine with VMWare Player
And so on...

With all the virtualization schemes running on top of Linux, how do they exploit the underlying kernel for I/O virtualization? The answer is virtio, which provides an efficient abstraction for hypervisors and a common set of I/O virtualization drivers. Discover virtio, and learn why Linux will soon be the hypervisor of choice.
