eweek.com — Virtualization and Linux can be a match made in heaven, which is why enterprise Linux heavyweights Red Hat and Novell are pushing so hard to make support for virtualization a highlight of their respective mainstream Linux operating systems.

Good summary, bad title...please, submitters, ask yourself 'does it make sense? is it a complete title? does it portray the story?'!

And any decent semi-professional/professional audio sequencer/DAW. (That is, not Ardour/Rosegarden/whatever, and not Fruityloops running in wine with 5000ms latency)

newsflash - the money isn't in gaming. Red Hat and SuSE could give two sh*ts on a shingle if some basement dwelling geek uses their OS to play games. They care about what Big Whig and his board of trustees plan to do with their 1.2billion dollar IT infrastructure and 500K+ in yearly support subscriptions.Gaming is small potatoes to the game that MS, Red Hat, Solaris, and Oracle are playing.

Gaming....With the huge rise in Linux usage, it seems to me that Gaming Software Company's should jump on the Linux bandwagon, provide drivers and start reaping profits from increased sales. If 15% of the population is using Linux and growing, their profits could do the same.:)

Gaming Companies don't jump on the Linux bandwagon because the support costs of trying to support the multitude of Linux variations combined with the developer costs of constantly re-fixing their games every time one of the multitude of Linux variations is updated would outweigh the extra 5% of sales they might make from Linux users who haven't already bought the Windows version of their game and playing it on their dual-boot machine.
