greets to all:

This weeks' computerworld carried a few nuggets that may be of interest:
A 10/100/1000 vayatta (linux) router appliance for under $700 that compares 
favorably against a cisco 7200
May cracking the Cisco temple only get easier! Anybody use Vayatta? Anyone 
build there own linux router yet?

And, what do you know, more stories on the march towards opensource. Namely,
Groundworks Monitor Community Edition to "manage 1000's of devices across large 
distributed environments"
along with an announcement that colleges and universities will soon have at 
their disposal an enterprise
suite of management/administrative applications  called Kuali. For ERP 
activities like finance and grants, designed to be collaborative
and comparable to Sakai; which (surely everyone knows) is a FOSS application 
for edu purportedly containing:
Collaboration tools
  Announcements, Drop Box, Email Archive, Resources, Chat Room, Forums, 
Threaded Discussion, Message Center, Message Of The Day, News/RSS
Teaching Tools
  Assignments, Grade book, Module Editor, QTI Authoring, QTI Assessment, 
Section Management, Syllabus
(and a whole lot more:), Of course, its java; and other candidates like 
Alfresco or Drupal even, might be more suited.

Who knows - maybe an interface suxrox or functionally lacking or some other
reason not to leave the proprietary drumbeat. But my $ is on endeavors like 
these-n-those as the shape of things to come:
