Reg writings (recent publication summary, for anyone interested) [post on my tech blog]

Not to blow my own horn, but, er, well, OK, yes I am. Tootle-toot.

I'm back writing for the Register again, in case you hadn't noticed. A piece a month for the last 2 months.

A Brief History of Virtualisation

As far as I can recall, I didn't plug this at the time, as this series of 5 articles for the Register was later collated into my first-ever book - a Kindle ebook of the same title: http://bit.ly/trabhov

However, that was about 4 years ago now and as it's one of the few times in my tech career that I have accurately predicted a future technology trend -- i.e., containers -- I think it's time.

You can buy the ebook here if you would like to support my work -- no, I don't get royalties, but it will endear me to the Reg:

Or, if you're a cheapskate and just want to read the content for free, then here are the component articles:

Enjoy. Buy a copy for all your friend, it's the ideal holiday gift!

Linux all-in-one server reviews

In case any loyal readers ;¬) missed them, I had a series of pieces on Linux server distros published last week on the Register. They ran them out-of-order; this is the sequence I intended them to go in...

Intro: Linux servers for Windows folk: go on, give it a bash

#1: A Linux server OS that's had 11 years to improve

#2: A Linux server OS that's fiddly but tweakable

#3: A young and pretty Linux server OS that takes a bit of work
