  1. Re:webmin doesnt have to show icons on Web-Based DHCP Server Frontends? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I submitted this article Friday so I've had some time with webmin this weekend.

    Goto your theme directory and put noicons=1 in the config file (/usr/share/webmin/themename/config in my system). This gives icons in the categories but none in the module itself. This looks like it will scale up to hundreds of entries with ease. I have 150 in my test machine now and you don't have to scroll much yet.

    I'm editing out all the unneeded fields and buttons in the cgi files now. Mostly consists of rem'ing out the print statements in the index.cgi, edit_host.cgi and params-lib.pl files so far. I've got the buttons down to create, save, delete and apply.

    I can't seem to get rid lease time, dynamic DNS and a couple other options without it breaking. It tries to send a null instead of going with the default. It's really in a workable state for us right now but I'd love to get it down to our 2 boxes we want and nothing else.

    It is said that 10% of the project takes 90% of the time. Looks like it is holding up here on this project for me.

    Now what is your take?

    12 AM could be noon.

    No, it couldn't. Just because you can't keep it straight doesn't change the facts. 12:00am is midnight and 12:00pm is noon.

    It is not ambiguous, it is 1 minute out of the 1440 minutes(or 60 out of 86400 seconds) in the day. That seem pretty precise to me when specifying a time for a 11,220 second event.

    Have you even looked around?

    You can get the Geforce2go chipset in a bunch of laptops. Go for the higher GeForce4(TM) 440 Go which is in the Geforce 3 range for performance

    If you are an ATI fan then you can get a laptop with a Radeon 7500 or Radeon 9000.

    Maybe these are a little behind the cutting edge but these are all decent 3d cards. It's all better than the Cirrus Logic and others that older laptops have had for a while now.

    Ok?!?!

    Go ahead and connect physically to your application. Wireless networking uses radio waves to make connections to tranfer data. Still seems like connecting to me.

    Snippet from EULA Office 2000

    Storage/Network Use. You may also store or install a copy of the computer software portion of the SOFTWARE PRODUCT on the COMPUTER to allow your other computers to use the SOFTWARE PRODUCT over an internal network, and distribute the SOFTWARE PRODUCT to your other computers over an internal network. However, you must acquire and dedicate a license for the SOFTWARE PRODUCT for each computer on which the SOFTWARE PRODUCT is used or to which it is distributed. A license for the SOFTWARE PRODUCT may not be shared or used concurrently on different computers.

    There's enough fuzzy terms to be twisted in here to make any case you want. The problem is that most judges have been backing corporations because they just don't understand.

    Don't forget to add $2,669 for 20 Terminal Services CALs if your clients aren't Windows 2000 or later. 2000 and later have a Terminal Services CAL built-in.

    CrossOver does seem a little pricy since you can basically do this with exporting the display already.

    Licensing Microsoft Office in a Windows Terminal Server Environment

    Mostly talking about Microsoft's terminal licensing here. Read the EULA for Office and you will see a license only allows you to use it one at a time so you still will need to buy a bunch of licenses.

    We used to run network installs of Word, Excel, etc. on 3.11 diskless workstations. The license was set up for concurrent use if you installed it this way. We had x number of licenses and some 3rd party software that would popup a box when x+1 copy tried to run. It would ask if you wanted to wait or send a message to one of the users currently in it and listed the current users.

    I believe there has been some rewording since the 16bit days. Anyone have current EULA info?

    There's nothing in there that states physical connection. Wireless connection is still a connection.

    Codweavers, WINE, etc. were available to local Linux installs already on x86. This would give terminal capabilities so anything capable of being a terminal client to run it.

    Good thing this is 4 students project. They aren't developers for OpenBSD.

  11. Re:Not to be trollish.... on OpenBSD SMP In The Works · · Score: 1

    I think by recently they meant 2.4 kernels. FreeBSD would outperform a 2.2 kernel. On paper it shouldn't but real world performance was very good. The problem is that was only on dual boxes. The design employed a giant kernel lock which meant it wouldn't scale up well on 4,8, whatever cpu systems. Sure it would run but it was quickly diminishing returns.

    FreeBSD 5.0 looks great for SMP and has a lot of potential but time will tell as it continues to mature and develop.

    It is using DRM to prevent you from playing it until you pay for each song (or whatever arrangement they have). The data is on your hard drive but if you try to work around the locking mechanisms without paying then it is illegal.

    NetBSD does have a port for 700 series.

    OpenBSD has a port also for some PA-RISC systems.

    Perhaps yours are unsupported? or did you mean you choose to only run Linux and HP-UX on these?

  14. Re:AGP Support??? on Terra Soft Reveals Linux/PPC Hardware Solution · · Score: 1

    AGP is really a PCI slot with it's own bus. There's been a lot of tweaking since the original concept but that's the basics of it. It still needs to be assigned an interupt in x86 and often motherboards will have one PCI slot share the same interupt.

    I'm not sure if this applies to this board but it may be a similar sharing of resourses.

  15. Re:Why You Really Do Want a Beowulf Cluster of The on Terra Soft Reveals Linux/PPC Hardware Solution · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Very true.

    Terra Soft's BriQ might be a better solution for some people since it is smaller (fits in a 5.25 bay) and available now. I really think they are well suited to lots of different uses. clusters, monitoring, IDS, logging, security devices.

    Of course these new boards will be more expanadable and a little cheaper. Just depends on what you want it for.

    Have you tried Xpostfacto?

    I've used it to install OSX 10.1.5 on my stock 604e 8600 without a problem. It worked real well but obviously slow. I later picked up an iMac and the 8600 is my testing machine for Linux, NetBSD, etc.

    Perhaps a similar solution could be done to make these boards work. I already have an OSX box and would rather get one of these to use NetBSD, Linux, whatever on it as a slick server. Pick a nice used box if you want to run Mac OS. I can always appreciate the hack factor if you still wanted to try it. That's what drove me to try on the 8600.
