Embiggen Your KVM Virtual Machines

When you provision virtual machines, you try to ensure that they have the storage that they need. But as we all know, storage needs tend to change over time.

It charted the Galaxy of GNU/Linux Distributions. Organized the mess that Linux Distros have become into an understandable chart. A huge svg graphic measuring 2,120 x 8,330 pixels

A chart that is very detailed. Remember that Distro of Linux meant to be a replacement for Windows, “Lindows”, that first appeared in 2001? It had it’s security dumbed down to about the Windows 95 level.
