Folks,
A tragic event today, following the (unrelated)
demise of Prof. Rajeev Motwani last week. A
successful Linux developer committed suicide in
Bangalore today - K.T.Ligesh, founder of LxLabs,
a Linux virtual server company apparently killed
himself after a security vulnerability was found in
his flagship app (the two events may be unrelated).
There were apparently no financial difficulties -
police say that his bank account had "crores".

The Lxlabs home page as well as the product lineup
look very impressive, even by international standards.

The hypervisor manager (?) that they offer looks very
polished, at least from the specs. Impressive work,
coming from a 32-year old. Tragic event, indeed -
hits closer home than the events surrounding
Hans Reiser a few years ago.
