Princess and the ClearOS Module - Part 1 of 4

Ben Chambers — Mon, 29 Mar 2010 20:00:00 +0100

Ever have the feeling "ClearOS is good piece of software...maybe even great. I just wish it had __________". All around the world, in 22 different languages, I'm sure the ending to that sentence has been completed with an equally broad range of functions - from running a media server used for streaming music and movies to your TV to cooking up a corn-beef on rye.

ClearFoundation Issues Patch For Security Issue With Samba

Fri, 05 Feb 2010 21:24:22 +0100

ClearFoundation has issued a patch to Samba for ClearOS. Samba provides much of the file service and Windows networking components for ClearOS.

The security risk is not high because the file access requires both a secure connection (LAN or VPN, not the Internet) and valid username/password into Samba section of the ClearOS system.

The Small Business Server Replacement is Clear(OS)

Aaron Bylund — Tue, 19 Jan 2010 22:10:20 +0100

Microsoft still has a stranglehold on the desktop and servers for small business. While wheels are in motion for the former, the answer to the latter may already be here.

When it comes to the Internet, Linux is a big win.

Mail and web servers, databases, computational clusters and supercomputers all belong to the domain of free software. When it comes to embedded devices, Linux is also king of the roost.

There are two main areas where Linux has still not broken tRead More...

That being said they are giving their product away for free to everyone. In tyRead More...

Open Source Gets DOD’s Long-Awaited Blessing

Michael Proper — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:45:22 +0100

Open Source projects complete (and often exceed) commercial software. If the United States Department of Defense (US DOD) can put open source on equal footing with commercial software, the entire market is shifting to a new paradigm of software development. The writing on the wall? "All software will soon be open source. The software market needs to shift its business model from license to services." Check out this directive from the US DOD CIO: ClearFoundaRead More...

Touring the ClearFoundation Website...

Jim OBrien — Tue, 15 Sep 2009 03:08:29 +0100

I posted a comment on LinkedIn a couple of weeks ago asking what people expected to see with ClearFoundation. I had formulated my own vision but I totally missed the social networking aspect. I am very impressed with inclusion of the social media type tools. It has become painfully obvious that communications in the world wide web is focused on movements. What better movement then replacing your entire infrastructure with a product like ClearFoundation? WhatRead More...
