As income and revenues rise, the Linux vendor sheds some light on its view of the future of hypervisors and Fedora.

Linux vendor Red Hat has predicted that virtualisation software will be included in all operating systems for free, while setting out the roles of the two hypervisors it is working on for its own product range.

Internet News: "The acquisition brings Qumranet's SolidICE virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) under the Red Hat banner, giving the Linux vendor a claim to end-to-end platform virtualization -- thanks to its existing role in the OS."

The code, he found, was running on CentOS Linux, using Perl packages built by Red Hat. So Prakash got rid of the Perl executable that came with CentOS, compiled a new one from stock, and the bug disappeared.

Quick -- name a company that has invested heavily and continuously in open-source, is one of the top contributors to Linux kernel development and offers full enterprise support for Linux to thousands of customersWere you thinking of Oracle Corp.?

Probably not, but that's something the company would like to change.
