    cloud computing everything and the kitchen sink? or is it just a hype?
    In my opinion it will become a powerful tool for utility computing, encryption(data portability), SaaS, Web services in the cloud,etc

    what do you think? panda has a anti-virus application panda-cloud-anti-virus which looks very promising and runs low on the resources

    viruses and worms have evolved and at this time it is a fact that av has to become smarter to i tested panda-cloud-anti-virus in vmware it runs lower on the resources than nod32 which is cool

    Active virus scanners can be buggy.

    Cloud computing presents a risk unless it uses the X11 layer as a client.

    interesting never thought of the X11 layer as a save client which makes sense the scanner is still a bit buggy but looks promising it is still in beta
    cloud computing is cool i used it for online storage of data and encrypted data with a pendrive
    @adderall assasin if you have tips concerning *nix and cloud computing please let me know i have found info read a bit it mostly is for MSwindows i run xp in vmware
    or at least the books i read maybe you can point me into the right direction for reading material

    You may want to read up on SaaS (Software as a Service). It closely ties with cloud computing. SaaS is actually considered a security risk if you use it for a business. My info sec instructor always warned the class that it leaves information vulnerabilities.

    Red Hat offers HaaS (Hardware as a Service) and SaaS, I think.
