Hello, subscribers to the Linux newsletter. Your editor hopes that those
of you who had a four-day weekend are properly thankful. (Your editor
also notes that you stopped reading websites over this period. Good for
you!) Here's what you need to catch up on now... ready? Go!

Virtualization is big news in commodity hardware circles. It's
established technology for mainframes. IBM is just one of many tech
companies with hardware support for running multiple virtualized operating
systems on a single box. They've also been doing it for years. Ken
Milberg discusses how the POWER5 architecture handles virtualization,
especially with regard to Linux systems:

In recent podcasts, your editor convinced Fotango's James Duncan and
O'Reilly editor and Parrot architect Allison Randal to discuss the
humanity of source code and why computers may be unnecessary. As well, he
discussed the Apache Software Foundation and the goals of spreading code
and healthy communities with Greg Stein:

Also, John Battelle and Eric Schmidt discuss why Google purchased YouTube
and whether Google might take on Microsoft Office:
