SUN has a free virtualization platform called SUN VirtualBox, so whats new in that you might wander – many companies offer virtualization these days!? The cool thing here is the word “Free” and lets add “Fast” to make it interesting, the solution is not only free it’s also fast and even somewhat compatible with Microsofts virtual pc format (it can import a .VHD file and start it without much hassle).
So if you are into a free, fast and quite well working Virtualization solution then take a look at “VirtualBox” from SUN.

Just stumbled across something interesting, Beagleboard.org..
It’s a VERY small motherboard that could be utilized for numerous things like building a small linux firewall (smoothwall or the like) or a media center (XBMC is working on something for this board). It’s all very interesting and definitely SMALL form factor, and at a price of $149 it is within a fair budget.
Imagine this, you just bought a new netbook and even with a completely newly installed system you experience that it takes 3-5 minutes to start the pc (where it should only take 1-2 minutes), so what went wrong!?
Well often it is caused by stuff as Google Toolbar, Yahoo Toolbar and whatever “crap” the manufacturer stuffs onto a new pc..
Now you could go ahead and start cleaning up yourself, that is uninstall all the strange “crap” that is installed OR you could just download a neat pice of software “PC DeCrapifier” and this nice free software will deal with the “crap” for you by removing it – simple and easy..
