  1. Depending on VPN topology on BitTorrent For Enterprise File Distribution? · · Score: 1

    Most VPN setups like this are hub and spoke with the central office being the spoke. So connections that go from one remote sit to another still have to go through the central office. So you still have a bandwidth problem at the central office. If you have your VPN setup as a mesh so it has connections to multiple sites you might be able to get this to work. The problem you run into then is most inexpensive VPN solutions will only be able to handle so many different VPN tunnels before they run out of CPU. Not know what you used to setup your remote offices as a VPN concentrator this may not be a problem.

  2. Re:Being worked out. on How Free is BIND 8.2? · · Score: 1

    Ahh. But they appear to be much slower than
    RSA. Don't know myself. I haven't looked at it
    that much yet.

  3. Being worked out. on How Free is BIND 8.2? · · Score: 5

    The problems are being worked out.

    The reason it is going to have problems is because
    they are adding RSA into the newer version to
    allow security transfers of zone files.

    They are trying to add an option to have no rsa
    as a build option.

  4. Not bad at all on Myth II Linux Demo · · Score: 1

    Finally, got it downloaded.

    Not bad at all. Graphics were well done.

    The games AI is sort okay.

    I had a dwarf go attack someone on the walls. It actually went down the ramp on one side and went back up on the other side to get to them.

    But at the same time I sent warriors from outside the gate to attack the same archers and they went through the gate but ignored the ramp and sat there at the bottom of the wall on the inside and
    got shot.

    Graphics are very good, tried it in 1024x768 and it played fine.

  5. Not a Big Deal on Ask Slashdot: Perceptions of Red Hat Software · · Score: 1

    I don't have problems with Red Hat now but they could be a problem in the future. They could stick to their own standards for layout of where things go as a ditribution. All the commercial apps then work with Red Hat but don't with other distribitions. If everything was under GPL that would be great but not all software is going to be GPL, especially if you are using this in a business environment and you are just getting people away from Windows/SCO/yourOSoftheweek.

    Red Hat has done some great things. I use Enlightenment on almost every Desktop that I can. I started back before Rasterman got a job with Red Hat. He is still able to kickout code like he did back in Aussieland. All of good GPL apps/progs have gotten almost dropped because the main author has gotten too busy to continue to work on it. (Xanim comes to mind)

    So while the GPL is great, a program can become orphaned fairly easy once a main author becomes disinterested or too busy to continue work on it.
