OK going to be giving this one a whirl as I spied it a couple of weeks ago.
Anyone can sign up with RedHat to check it out:-

Rather than duplicating effort I’m going to make this blog be the place where I put my thoughts as I start working on the Merz building compute environment. Looking at the dates on prior articles it’s been a while!

I stumbled upon this link at the weekend, anyone looking to do bioinformatics I’d thoroughly recommend you getting into this essential R addition.

Introduction to Tidyverse 

This was a question I asked of myself, pretty much in the same way I tackled a problem a couple of decades ago in regard to email..

A couple of decades ago I made the wonderful discovery of Linux and Sendmail which was the answer to ‘What do people use as an email server?’ The figures on what pushes the most email around the internet made my mind up that this was something to be pursued. I wasn’t disappointed. It freed up time to do other constructive things as the service **just ran**

More musings as I discover them, this mornings quick Google brought back this amusing/insightful observation.

I’ve been following Dan Walsh at RedHat for a number of years – indeed he did help me out in the early days of selinux getting a program to run..

Yesterday I followed one of his current blog posts and what he’s doing now in relation to containers at RedHat – Well worth a read in its own right, but happened to notice a later article written by Dmitri Pal.

The main blog for the RedHat developers is here: –

This is a great read as it addresses many of the areas that we are likely to bump in to, and this is coming from a fairly large Company helping other fairly large Companies work in heterogeneous environments.

My take on Linux things has always been, ‘How do other people acheive x,y,z’ Do they do that with Linux? How did they accomplish it?
I think the correct term for it is benchmarking,, but I’m not a label person.
The good news is that increasingly the ‘Do they do that with Linux?’ isn’t really as big an obstacle anymore, and there’s more people doing the same thing.
