Cisco Unwires Linux Symposium

,----[ Quote ]
| "Cisco embraces the Linux community and appreciates the opportunity to 
| work directly with them at this event."
| 
| "With a major event like the Linux Symposium we have to get hundreds of 
| laptops networked in a relatively small area," said Andrew Hutton, 
| founder of the Linux Symposium.

Cisco works with and against Microsoft at the same time (a bit like Novell). It
also competes with Open Source and Linux-based routers from other companies.

| Marketing trumped technology, however. Competitors would say "you don't 
| want to trust your network to a PC" -- even though it really wasn't a PC. 
| And FUD prevailed. Today we can expect to hear the same comments made in 
| reference to open source. Will they work this time?

Will an open source router replace your Cisco router?

,----[ Quote ]
| By using VMware, I was able to get this new router up in less than 30 
| minutes--as promised by the evaluation guide. In fact, half of that time 
| came from downloading the file. In addition, I ended up reading some of the 
| guide to learn the default login and the basics of the user interface.
| 
| In my opinion, Vyatta shows a lot of promise. While I'm not recommending 
| throwing out Cisco routers in favor of Vyatta just yet, spending 30 minutes 
| to familiarize yourself with what it can do is a smart idea.

Open source router on par with Cisco, users say

,----[ Quote ]
| "I'd say that any PC we could put [Vyatta OFR] on today is going to be
| way faster than Cisco. I would not be doing backbone routing with this,
| but I would not hesitate to say this will compete against Cisco
| either," Newnam said. "Well, as long as we're not switching half of
| the U.S. of course."
