Now, I know that FreeBSD-CURRENT is 9, but I use 8 for stability purposes. With that said, lets get down to business, shall we?

FreeBSD is a BSD-spun distro that you simply cannot ignore. With FreeBSD, you get the power of a light operating system and the elegance of the ports system. With the ports system, not only do you not need to manually compile things, but all dependencies are solved 99.9% of the time, with zero issues. However FreeBSD is not for the Linux beginner, but it is easily learned and when you know how to use it, it is a very nice system.

Cloud Computing: The Basics

If you have been following technology in the past few months, you have likely heard of Cloud Computing. You might be asking yourself, “What exactly is cloud computing?” Cloud Computing is defined by Wikipedia as “Internet-based computing, whereby shared resources, software and information are provided to computers and other devices on-demand, like the electricity grid.” Simply put, your resources, software, and information is completely online based, 24/7.

The most basic and distinguished form of cloud computing is a Virtual Private Server, or VPS. VPS’ have full functionality, and many times, its indistinguishable from a physical device (like a server at your house with comparable specifications). Since VPS’ use real memory, hard drive space, and Internet, they can’t just be thrown onto some old computer you have laying around. There are typically several VPS’ running on one server, therefore requiring more CPU power and memory. This why there’s now a demand for higher CPU speeds and more memory, and unfathomable hard drive capacities.
