Ubuntu Remains Best Linux Distribution for Desktops The latest version of Canonical’s Linux distribution, Ubuntu 8.10, still outshines the Linux desktop offerings from Red Hat and Novell, and is the best open-source alternative to Microsoft and Apple operating systems. However, both Red Hat’s Enterprise Linux and Novell’s SUSE distributions are ahead of Ubuntu 8.10 in the server space.		Microsoft Virtualization Goes Cross-Platform with VMware Support With System Center Virtual Machine Manager 2008, Microsoft adds support for VMware ESX Infrastructure virtualization technology. The move by Microsoft with its Hyper-V virtualization technology is a break from its past, where Microsoft usually let third parties manage non-Microsoft software. Now Microsoft can manage VMware virtualization technology. VKernel Capacity Analyzer a Strong Tool in VMware Environments VKernel's Capacity Analyzer 2.0 can use VMware VirtualCenter statistics to offer clarity in virtualization deployments. However, the virtualization tool is not a cross-platform product; it doesn't address Microsoft's Hyper-V virtualization technology. But in VMware environments, the virtualization tool will help IT administrators get the most out of their ESX installations. DiVitas Offers a Solid Unified Communications Option DiVitas Networks' newest mobile UC platform moves beyond the usual fixed mobile convergence features to include secured instant messaging, presence and visual voicemail. Such features made up for a disappointing setup experience. MetaGeek Wi-Spy DBx Offers Cheap, Easy WLAN Analysis With the proliferation of WLANs in businesses and homes, the need to plan and police wireless networks is growing. The MetaGeek Wi-Spy DBx USB device and accompanying Chanalyzer 3.1 software simplify sophisticated spectrum study for the masses.
