Trend to watch: Android vs. Microsoft
Acer has announced availability of the new Google Android (Linux) OS on their AOD250 netbook. This represents a trend toward a ‘data pad’ device mid way between the smart phone and the netbook. Google OS is due in the second half of 2010 to compete head to head with Microsoft Windows and Microsoft may loose significant market share to Google (Linux).

Upgrading Linux
Today I am completing the conversion of our file server to CentOS because the disk drives needed to be upgraded. They have been in service for about two (2) years and are now completely full. I ordered two 1.5 TB Seagates and installed CentOS 5.2xx, then transferred all the user login information for Linux and Samba (Windows file sharing) to the new system.
