Ifolder Server Review

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the know-when-to-ifold-em dept.

liquidat writes "I wanted to have a look at the new Open Source ifolder-server and additionally at ifolder in general. ifolder is mainly supported by Novell, and Novell advertises it's Suse Linux, so I downloaded a Suse-VMware image, installed the vmware player and gave it a try. After I installed the needed software it worked pretty well and gave me a quite good impression of what ifolder is about."

  1. This would be more effective... by bogaboga · · Score: 1, Funny
    While I appreciate the reviewer's piece, I wonder what it would take to have a review done entirely in flash. These movies would require no software install on most PCs and would be very very effective in passing the message across. The whole business of posting pure HTML with graphics for reviews is becoming very ancient in my opinion.

    One draw back though, would be for those still using dialup. They would cry foul! Heck, such a movie could be uploaded to Google Video for free. With this route, the problem is that the video would have to go through some form of editorial process. The advantage in the end would be very much worth the effort.

    No, No, No! If people start admitting that they made a mistake in Slashdot threads this could turn into a warm respectful community!
