How Linux Beats Windows in ID Management Ease
Amy Kucharik writes "Fed up with Windows systems management? A Linux conversion may be your ticket away from the daily hassles of managing and licensing domain controllers and related software devices. In this tip, Paul Murphy discusses the evolution of LDAP and how using it, along with Linux, can make an administrator's job easier."
HAHAHAHHAHA
duh ...
This is neither news nor is it anything that matters. The core of the problem isn't ID management, it never was. It's application support for linux, which is pretty much non-existant in most fields.
Mod me down with all of your hatred and your journey towards the dark side will be complete!
Damn, you morons are stupid. You actually think your stupid little piles of steaming shit code are ever going to amount to anything? You are fucking pathetic, and you are all gay. Torvalds is gay, and so is Cox, and so are YOU. OSS zealots suck the big cock.
LDAP ERROR 65: Object Class Violation
you meant
changetype: modify
replace: slashModLevel
slashModLevel: -1 Troll
My LDAP-Fu is stronger than yours!
Hey, maybe this is how SlashMemes get started. Maybe there needs to be an LDIF-formatted post in every thread now.
Except in Soviet Russia, of course, where posts LDIF-format you!
I just windows made active directory NOT SUCK,

There's 3 types of Linux
1) Desktop distros
2) Server distros
3) BS distros that don't work
Gentoo falls firmly into category 3.
Le français vous intéresse?
I tried switching the family over to Linux machines over the summer
vacation and the objections from the other family members was more
than enough to send all 7 machines right back to Windows ME, Windows
2000 and Windows XP.
So why all the troubles?
Afterall Linux users on slashdot love to tell stories of how Linux is so
much better than Windows and they would never go back and so forth.
My conclusion after seeing real people in a real average Jane setting
revolt against Linux is that the Linux advocates are just plain lying
because Linux is really a step backwards for people used to using
Windows.
To make this short and simple, virtually NOTHING worked properly under
Linux.
Video cards could not get maximum resolution.
Capture programs, for my ATI All In WOnder and Video camera did not
work. In fact my ATI cards advanced features (remote control amongst
other things) didn't work at all.
My printer (Brother all in one fax/copier/printer) did not work.
My DSL connection did not work and when I called support they said
that Linux was not supported.
My mp3 and mpeg video and music files played but they skipped
horribly.
I couldn't log into my router via konqueror to change/view settings.
MANY, MANY, MANY web pages did not display correctly.
And it goes on and on for pages,but the bottom line is that Linux
lasted about 3 days in my house before I ditched it and went back to
the Windows versions I was using.
Thank goodness for Ghost which made it easy to do.
Conclusion is that Linux is a birds nest of confusion. Linux seems
like it might be good until you actually try and use it and then it
shows it's ugliness, slowness and instability.
Why on earth ANYONE would use Linux for a home system is a mystery.
