    Network Administration Visualized is a good alternative to PRTG

    NAV has very similar functionality to prtg, but is completely open source.

    NAV is a great network and server monitoring suite...I have it monitoring much stuff connected over VPN.

  4. Wrong again by grandmofftarkin · · Score: 1 · on Mandriva SA Cedes Control To Mandriva Community

    Since May 13 2011 until now, -current has had 728 packages rebuilt, upgraded or added. 435 of those have been within the last 2 months.
    My source? http://ftp.uninett.no/linux/slackware/slackware64-current/ChangeLog.txt (a decent mirror if you are looking for one)

    The link you provide is equally uninformed since it stated,

    "Slackware does not have an apt-get (Ubuntu), portage (Gentoo), or some other variant to allow automatic pulling from an approved repository. Instead, you browse and download .tgz listings and run their pkgtool utility."

    Yet it does have such a tool. It is called slackpkg and it is included in the default install. In many ways works slackpkg works just like apt, other than not automatically dealing with dependencies.

    When the next release does come out (and it will) perhaps would you care to post back here to admit your mistake. Since I'm guessing it would be a little hard for you to swallow your pride and do it right away

  5. Ubuntu rocks by koody · · Score: 5, Informative · on Hoary Hedgehog Ubuntu 5.04 Released

    Download the torrent

    New stuff include

    • Gnome 2.10.1, which makes the desktop a lot faster than before
    • X.org
    • Simplified update- and package management
    • Much faster boot process
    • Better laptop support (ie suspending, hibernating, processor frequency scaling)
    • Kickstart support for automated largescale installations
    • Live CD and Install CD both use the new debian installer infrastructure
    • UTF-8 by default
    • A program for collecting information about what hardware works and what doesn't
    • Kubuntu - complete KDE 3.4 based version of Ubuntu

    Stuff people are going to bitch about

    • No graphical installer. The current installer is extremely simple and has been streamlined even further in this release. A graphical installer is planned for the next version (Breezy Badger).
    • No menu editor installed. One can always edit the files by hand, or install kmenu or something similar for gnome. The official gnome menu editor just didn't finish in time.
    • No DivX or MP3 support. These are simple to add though and anyone coming from debian will probably already know of the Marillat repositories. Just look at the instructions in the wiki or use Hoary After-Install helper or another script to do the dirty work for you.

    OSDir has published a lot of screenshots of Ubuntu.

    Oh and if you are interested to know if your laptop or other piece of hardware is supported, some info can be found in the wiki on the Hardware support-page

    Hook this up with Wardriving and Let The Games Begin.

    For your information, Cooker provides Linux 2.6 as kernel default since december. ISO snapshots are available here [mandrakelinux.com] for download, with also a preview of the new KDE.
    that is a 2.6-test kernel... not the same thing as the 2.6 kernel itself.
    You are provably wrong. Where are you taking your information from?

    Cooker had the final 2.6.0 since Dec, 18th [1] and is currently available with 2.6.1 by contributers. Maybe you refer to the first snapshot ISOs, which were made mid-december and so couldn't possibly include anything than a 2.6-test kernel (2.6.0 was released after the snapshots were taken, and so the 2.6-test kernels were all that was available at that time).

    But that snapshot is long outdated. The latest was released on the 1st and included a 2.6.0 kernel. The next Cooker snapshot is due any day now should even more recent kernel packages. Not sure, if 2.6.1 will make it (regardless, an up-to-date 2.6.1 kernel, heavily based on the -mm tree, is available in contribs already [2]).

    Anyhow, the point of the original poster was that Mandrake Linux 10.0 will ship with a reasonably recent 2.6 kernel as option. AFAIK, the aim is to let it be the default option, with 2.4 as alternative, but that will be determined by how stable it is at the time of the freeze and if all the common hardware is supported good enough. (I am too lazy too dig up a link to the cooker mailing list archive... if you don't believe me after I showed references for all my other claims, go looking yourself ;).

    - 2.6.0 final version ;)

But experience shows these contributers know what they do and that most patches get integrated in the official mdk-kernel later (note that the contributers mainly integrate existing patches by "official" kernel developers and don't write their own). It's kind of a testbed like the -mm tree is for the "official" Linus kernel, currently.

  11. Re:um.. but no countries? by Sara+Chan · · Score: 1 · on Ranking The Domain Name Registrars
    Some of those other-country TLDs-- .nu, .to, whatever-- may be very good for some people. I for one registered a .cx domain (see webpage and email adress above) because i liked the price (i haven't found anything comparable in .com, .net or .org areas) and have been very happy with it so far. But other than .cx, i don't really know what country TLDs are open. There is no list i am aware of that lists all the TLDs along with who you register that TLD with, how much they charge, are people outside of that country legally allowed to register domains there, are there any odd legal rules (i. e. is it possible that you could have your domain name revoked at will), or even WHERE those domains are registered. Where do you register a .my domain? (malasia, right? no?) Because damned if i know. It isn't nic.my.

    A list of all IANA TLDs, together with (variable-quality) contact information for each, is available here. And yes, this includes Malaysia (.my).

    Both of these domains quite verifiably belong to those countries--and if you notice, the global TLDs section ONLY has .com, .edu, .gov, .int, .mil, .net, and .org. Everything else is a country.

    Posted by MAOinhibitor:

    Everyone who works with domains should get a whois client utility if you don't have one. The InterNIC web whois gateway takes too much time, and some of the International domains do not operate web interfaces to their whois databases. NetLab for Win32 has a decent whois, and Peter Lewis's Finger for MacOS is fine too. Of course, UN*X whois is ideal.
