Most organizations aren't "pure" Windows (or Mac, or Linux) these days; they have a mix of desktop and mobile operating systems connecting to their networks. If yours has Linux machines, check out these 5 tips to improve their security.
Recently VMware announced they would be adding Linux desktops to their VDI portfolio, which I can only assume will remain named Horizon View. All I can say is that it’s about time. Almost four years ago I was struggling with …
A vulnerability that's been in UNIX-based operating systems for years makes those computers vulnerable to complete takeover by attackers.
Bash or the Bourne again shell, is a UNIX like shell, which is perhaps one of the most installed utilities on any Linux system.
Do you have users in your organization who need to dual boot Linux with Windows 8, or who need to just run Linux on a new PC that came with Windows 8 pre-installed? Some small businesses, especially, have found themselves in that position with no easy solution. The Secure Boot feature in Windows 8 can make installation of other operating systems difficult.
Now it’s a little easier. The Linux Foundation has worked with Microsoft to obtain the proper security keys and has released the first version of a UEFI bootloader. This isn’t something for Linux novices, but it will provide a tool that expert Linux pros can use to overcome the obstacles of installing on Windows 8 systems. So if you’re a *NIX whiz kid, or have one on staff, check it out.

Although Hyper-V 2012 will not support the wide variety of operating systems that are supported by vSphere, it supports enough guest operating systems for many organizations. The table below outlines the operating systems that can be installed under Hyper-V 2012. Note that newer operating systems, including Windows Server 2012, Windows 8 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11, do not require a separate installation of Hyper-V’s Integration Services since the necessary components are already built into those operating systems. For other operating systems, however, you will still need to install Integration Services. For supported versions of CentOS and Red Hat Enterprise Linux, download Linux Integration Services v3.2.

UniPrint Significantly Increases Convenience, Flexibility, and Productivity by Enabling LPR-Based Systems to Print to Windows-based Printers
Toronto,Ontario – INGENICA, the innovative leader in server-based printing solutions, today announced the launch of UniPrint Host Edition. Developed to cure printing inflexibility headaches in all mixed host systems (such as UNIX, AIX, AS/400, IBM Power Series, System z, and Linux) and Windows environments, UniPrint Host Edition enables all local and remote users on fat or thin clients working in a server-based (Citrix or Microsoft Terminal Server) or non server-based environment to benefit from enhanced printing flexibility.
The all-new UniPrint Host Edition enables organizations to build a de facto information bridge between their Line Printer Remote (LPR)-based systems and their Windows-based systems. The bridge makes it easy for users to access data stored on the host system, and print to a Windows-based printer. This innovative solution makes it simple to p rovide truly fast and flexible cross-platform printing.
UniPrint Host Edition further enhances printing flexibility in a mixed host-Windows environment by making it convenient for users to print, preview or archive print jobs. Taking advantage of the common, affordable, and easy-to-maintain Windows environment, UniPrint Host Edition converts print files into Portable Document Format (PDF) before transmitting them to a Windows desktop computer ready to print, preview, or save.
An easy-to-install and manage software-based solution, UniPrint Host Edition eliminates the need for o

An easy-to-install and manage software-based solution, UniPrint Host Edition eliminates the need for organizations to invest the money, time and resources traditionally required to install and maintain a hardware-based printing solution, and reprogram the host side of the system.
"Surveys revealed that despite the fact customers found cross-platform printing made great sense from a productivity standpoint, they had given up on the idea because it posed too many problems, and because the only available software and hardware solutions were far too expensive and far too difficult to implement," said Arron Fu, Vice President, Software Develop
