- crunchmuffin, on 09/29/2008, -0/+3Essentially, it's a linux tailored to run their critical equipment, such as their major servers. This all has to be designed to match the networks needs exactly, and that is no small feat. It has to be secure, fast, and damn near 100% reliable.
- ThsGuyRightHere, on 09/29/2008, -0/+3Carrier grade generally means five 9's, i.e. 99.99999% uptime. It's been a while since I've done the math but I seem to remember you can be down less than 3 minutes per year. In my own experience, I've gotten excellent uptime out of free and professional grade linux distro's, so I'm curious to see what it will look like when someone implements these specs.

- Vadi0, on 09/28/2008, -0/+2Can someone explain this in layman terms? A linux for network carriers's to install on routers or... ?
- badassninja, on 09/29/2008, -1/+2Hurray for free (as in freedom) software!
- hnazareth16, on 09/28/2008, -1/+2The day when Linux becomes widely accepted and embraced by the masses will be a happy day indeed. I'm glad that Telecoms is taking the necessary steps to make that come true!
