Watch Debbie wrestle the Kraken

Posted by Karen Friar

Or more accurately, watch as member Xwindowsjunkie gets to grips with pitting the latest test version of Windows Home Server (nicknamed the Kraken) against an open-source alternative (nicknamed Little Debbie).

As you might remember, the head-to-head experiment was announced by Xwindowsjunkie a couple of weeks ago, along with a call for suggestions as to which open-source software to use. It's now been decided--find the line-up listed in a blog posting here.

Installation of the operating systems (WHS and Debian 4.0) is now wrapped up, and one took a lot longer than the other--guess which? It's really interesting to follow the process from a user's point of view, as the Kraken goes up against Little Debbie. Take a look, and see if you have any suggestions or comments that could help.
