He descubierto hoy que HP y Symantec han sacado el Firefox Virtual, una version de Firefox que integra la tecnologia Symantec Endpoint Virtualization Suite, que lo hace todavia mas seguro: lo que instales o lances desde Firefox se ejecutara e instalara en una “capa virtual”, con lo que se podra volver atras facilmente con un simple click.
De momento esta basado en Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.15 (When the development for Mozilla Firefox for HP Virtual Solutions began, Firefox 3.0 was not yet in final release).
Firefox already does a lot to ensure that you stay safe on the Web. But sometimes the unexpected happens. Been surfing the Web with undesired results? Machine getting slow lately? Things showing up that you know shouldn’t be there? With Mozilla Firefox for HP Virtual Solutions, changes made to your machine from within Firefox are saved into the virtual layer and can be easily un-done, like you’d never been on the Net Quickly put things back to their original state by clicking the “Reset” shortcut on your Start Menu:
via Welcome to Mozilla Firefox for HP Virtual Solutions.
Un poco mas sobre SVS:
SVS aggregates the real and virtual file systems into one view for the end user.
Me ha costado un poco ver donde se baja, y — lo malo — creo que sera de pago!:
Evaluation downloads of SVS Standard and SVS Professional may be obtained here.

Acabo de instalar una Debian Sarge sobre mi maquina HP9000 B180L: una modesta workstation, con un procesador pa-risc PA7300LC a 180Mhz. Vamos, todo un maquinon! jeje. Esta maquina no es arquitectura x86, es hppa.
La verdad es que me ha molado bastante esta instalacion. El tema es que esta maquina no tiene ni disquete, ni lector de CD/DVD. Bueno, tiene un drive de cintas DDS2, pero creo que de momento no hay distribuciones de Debian que permitan bajarse una cinta botable de instalacion — acaso alguien conoce alguna?
Asi que probe a botar e instalar por red! Y funciono. Para eso me apoye sobre otro servidor que tenia, un Debian sobre un PC. Como dijo un compañero mio, “esto es una buena freakada” ;).
Baje e instale el dhcpd y el tftpd en el PC. Baje tambien la LIF (kernel, initrd y mini-root fs de instalacion) de instalacion de Debian por red para arquitectura hppa. Y listo para botar: boot lan ! La maquina pide IP por dhcp, carga la LIF y arranca el debian-installer, el cual sigue la instalacion por red (bajando la distribucion de un mirror en Internet).
No me ha funcionado a la primera por un tema que habia instalado mal el PALO (como Lilo, pero para maquinas hppa). A la segunda ha ido bien!
Ahi esta:

This morning i needed to check some HP hardware parts information, so i went to HP’s Partsurfer site.
As soon as the page achieved to load in my Firefox browser, i got rather suprised; look at this:
For those who haven’t noticed it, look at the site favicon. Got it? If not, compare it with this one: 
! Kinda funny, insn’t it?
I decided to check what web server was running there, so i queried netcraft, and the answer is:
http://partsurfer.hp.com was running Sun-ONE-Web-Server on Windows 2000 when last queried at 6-Oct-2005 17:06:09
I recognize i was a bit disapointed, as I’d prefer it be running Apache on HP-UX, like www.hp.com.
Anyway nobody’s perfect, is it?
