  1. I thought that this would be corrected by now on Analysis of SCO vs. IBM · · Score: 1

    two minor things in www.opensource.org/sco-vs-ibm.html

    1
    under 'The meaning of "enterprise scalability"'

    in the shortest possible time.journaling file systems
    should be
    in the shortest possible time.

    journaling file systems

    I thought that JFS was developed by IBM and VxFS was developed by
    Veritas ?

    In the fourth paragraph under
    "SCO's claim to own Unix scalability techniques is weak"
    you state that Bell Labs includes JFS (veritas journaling file system)

    Furthermore, as previously noted, many Unix developers possess copies of
    later versions of the historical Bell Labs source code. We can therefore
    state that of the component technologies for enterprise scaling, the
    Bell Labs codebase includes JFS (in the form of the Veritas journaling
    file system), but none of SMP, LVM, NUMA, or hot-swapping. On Internet
    time, the Bell Labs minicomputer-centered codebase of 1989-1995 is
    hardly more relevant to today's enterprise scalability challenges on
    today's PCs than the inner workings of a WWII-era jeep would be to the
    design of this year's Formula One racing cars.

  2. SGI on Casemodding Enterprise Hardware · · Score: 1

    On the SGI Origins you can get the LCD display on the boot module to show a bar graph of CPU usage. This works out very well for tours.

  3. Re:Buy it cheaper at half.com or bookpool.com on SSH, The Secure Shell · · Score: 1

    I have been buying books from bookpool for 7 years now and am very happy with their service.
    The shipping is timely and at a good rate. :)

  4. Re:I have a Blade 100 on Non x-86/Mac-PPC Workstations? · · Score: 1

    I am using a Sun Blade 100 with expert 3d lite graphics card. running solaris 8 gnome 1.4 ...
    I find that the IDE hard disk is tooo slow to keep up with the rest of the box.
    If I had this at home I would get a better SCSI disk drive.
    For normal user stuff Netscape, OpenOffice, Eterm, ... this works just fine.

    :-)
