Brought up several times in our forums and elsewhere over the past few days has been VMware's Gallium3D driver that they use for guest 3D acceleration on their proprietary virtualization platform.
Compared to Oracle's VM VirtualBox graphics acceleration support that is quite slow for OpenGL and often unreliable or the limited attempts at OpenGL QEMU acceleration, VMware has a rather nice acceleration architecture built atop Gallium3D. Using Gallium3D at the heart of their graphics driver implementation across platforms shouldn't be surprising though since they bought out Tungsten Graphics in late 2008 and its these Mesa / Gallium3D drivers now developing VMware's graphics stack.

Problem:
Easily integrating your Linux host into a Windows environment ...
Solution:
This solution allows one to very easily navigate any number of windows/samba servers and shares with any file management application (and from the shell).
Hm, didn't work for me, so I followed the "domain configuration way". But that's maybe interesting for others: "Accessing Windows Or Samba Shares Using AutoFS".

This is a guide to running Linux with the Dell XPS M1710 notebook. The XPS M1710 is a very high end notebook with a big screen and fast components. It is also very heavy. Linux support is top notch.
This is a howto on setting up a nice spam-virus fighting mailserver. It’s based on a singlebox install but spreading out the components, isn’t that difficult. I’ve tried building it so it could scale and still be easy to manage, with a lot of good webinterfaces. I think I have accomplished that - hope you can agree
