Version 4 of the Unity 3D game engine will have native Linux support. This shouldn't come as a big surprise since the Unity game engine coming to Linux has already been brought up previously and we've known it was being worked on, but now with Unity 4.0 it's finally materialized. [not to be confused with Canonical's Unity or Unity Linux distribution]

There is a rather nasty RAID bug in some released versions of the Linux kernel. It won't destroy your data, but it could make it hard to access that data.

GNU/Linux is the greatest global and collaborative effort in the history of computers. Everyone should be able to use it, and to help in the development of it no matter what disabilities or special abilities one has. This week we talk with Mobeen Iqbal from Vinux Project, who gives us an insight on how a distribution for the visual impaired is developed and loved by its users. Enjoy!

Subject: LinuxCon Japan: Making kernel developers less grumpy
Greg Kroah-Hartman is on something of a mission: reducing the grumpiness factor among kernel developers, and maintainers in particular. His keynote at LinuxCon Japan was meant to help the audience understand what the maintainers do, and how contributors' actions can sometimes result in grumpy maintainers. But, if contributors can follow the rules and make things easier on him, there are a number of things that he will promise to do on their behalf.

Subject: Building A 96-Core Ubuntu ARM Solar-Powered Cluster
Last week I shared results from the Phoronix 12-core ARM Linux mini cluster that was constructed out of six PandaBoard ES development boards. Over the weekend, a 96-core ARM cluster succeeded this build. While packing nearly 100 cores and running Ubuntu Linux, the power consumption was just a bit more than 200 Watts. This array of nearly 100 processor cores was even powered up by a solar panel.
