[電腦資訊] 國研院國網中心 DRBL & Clonezilla 研發團隊以其成就與貢獻榮獲行政院2008年傑出科技貢獻獎


企鵝龍（DRBL）與再生龍（Clonezilla），是國研院國網中心 DRBL 研發團隊運用高速計算的技術與經驗所打造的兩套軟體，近幾年在全球贏得不少掌聲。今年，再度以創新和社會貢獻榮獲「行政院2008年傑出科技貢獻獎」的肯定。

企鵝龍（DRBL），全文是 Diskless Remote Boot in Linux，讓使用者透過網路連接，不需硬碟也能成功開機；由於所有的檔案、設定與服務都集中在伺服器，只要輕鬆下個指令，便能快速將大批電腦轉換成自由軟體的作業環境。再生龍Clonezilla，則是另一個備份、還原快手，適用於完整系統備份、裸機還原或災難復原，可以快速安裝所需的作業系統、軟體、或備份資料。

該團隊將其創新研究成果以自由軟體模式發行，對國際智財成果分享極具公益示範作用。此外，其快速、便捷、省成本的設計與友善的多國語言版本（中文、英文、日文、法文、西班牙文、義大利文），吸引全球高達70萬人次下載使用，尤其自由軟體可複製分享的特質，不僅嘉惠高速計算之相關技術領域，企業、中小學等教學領域都成了受惠者，對全球資訊教育與縮減數位落差貢獻卓越。這兩套軟體為人所津津樂道的多國語言版本，正是這些國家的使使用者因為太想推薦給自己國家的其他使用者嘗試，於是自發性地將語言檔製作完成，並分享給 DRBL 團隊套用在系統中，最後再將完成版本開放給所有該語系的使用者自由下載運用。這股參與的氣勢越滾越大，全球使用者儼然成了首席顧問，六國語言版本於焉誕生!

[Computer & Information] National Applied Research Labotaries' Teams DRBL & Clonezilla Receive the 2008 Award for Outstanding Contributions in Science and Technology' by the Executive Yuan

DRBL and Clonezilla are two software of the research team DRBL in the National Center for High-Performance Computing (NCHC), National Applied Research Laboratories, NARL , Researcher Steven SHIAU, leader of NCHC’s Open Source software development team, and the team won the 2008 Award for Outstanding Contributions in Science and Technology for the DRBL/Clonezilla software his team developed by means of high-performance computing techniques. Before the award, the team has already won its international reputation-- over seven hundred thousand times download.

DRBL, i.e., Diskless Remote Boot in Linux, enables the user to boot via internet without having to be in possession of a hard-disk; also, because all the files, settings and services are centralized and stored in the servers, the user is then only required to give commands so that a great amount of computers can be modified into a free-software environment in a very short time period. Clonezilla, on the other hand, is a quick handy backup & recovery software, which can be applied to complete system back-ups, bare-metal recovery or catastrophe recovery. It can help with quick installation of the interested operational systems, software or backup data.

The team delivers its innovative research results in the fashion of free-software model, which makes itself a fine exemplary for the non-profit, intellectual property conduct. Besides, its speedy, convenient, low-cost and multilingual (Chinese, English, Japanese, French, Spanish and Italian) design draws a great international attention, i.e., seven hundred thousand times download. As a free-software, it is specifically easy to share and distribute, which not only brings a great deal of benefit to the relevant industries and educational institutes but also to the global information education and the reduction of digital drop. Especially worth mentioning is the multilingual versions are created by volunteers all over the world. The users in the world feel the convenience of the software, and, out of a wish to introduce the software to his or her own country, translate the original copy and contribute the translations to DRBL so that DRBL can include them to the original system. All the users perform as consultants, which quite meet the air of web 2.0.
