No, not ATI’s Ruby ;). I’ve heard of ruby quite a few times lately, but it was always scripting related. Now I read they also use it for web applications. Read all about it at Ruby on Rails
Open source virtualization?
You ask? XenSource donates! I searched the net several times in the past, looking for an open source alternative to VMWare. Never found one, and now, it suddenly drops out of the sky ;).
