  2. Re:Not a surprise on Novell To Cease NetWare Development? · · Score: 4, Interesting
    Microsoft's worst nightmare for Linux servers is :

    - Single Sign-On

    - Integrated Distributed Peripheral Management

    - Unified Administration Console from X11 and Win32 Clients

    Novell brings all of this to the table, with enterprise support. Now you don't have to hack OpenLDAP, and sell it to the "Pointy-Hair" crowd.

    We are lucky.

    "Florida" as it is called, is an unstable sandbar - not any actual land-mass at all. The temporal existance of the greater part of this "Florida" is geologically insignificant. A good hurricane could partially submerge much of the area for good.

    AS/400 is the HARDWARE.

    The reporter was a console-guy, so he can be forgiven. What IBM has done is get the OS/400 Operating System ported.

  8. The Hercules System/370, ESA/390, and z/ Emulator on Obtaining Mainframe Experience w/o a Mainframe? · · Score: 5, Informative
    Hercules is an open source software implementation of the mainframe System/370 and ESA/390 architectures, in addition to the new 64-bit z/Architecture. Hercules runs under Linux, Windows 98, Windows NT, and Windows 2000.

    Hercules was created by Roger Bowler and is maintained by Jay Maynard. Jan Jaeger designed and implemented many of the advanced features of Hercules, including dynamic reconfiguration, integrated console, interpretive execution and z/Architecture support.

    Reuters sells a secured, auditable IM service for the Corporate/Financial Services market. Meets FDIC and SEC regulations. It's built on MSFT technology, but uses the Internet. Bloomburg has its own IM, but runs on their own services 'net.

    Why use something GPL'd when you can use *BSD that has little or no encumbarance like this?

    This has been going on for YEARS. I was doing so at Schwab in '97 - and reading "Chips and Dips" and "Rob Malda's Window Maker Site".

    I got about 4 or 5 of the Unx admins and a good number of the DBS'a doing this too.

    Pardon me French, but here goes:

    Outlook is a shithole of bugs, incompatibilities, dangerous security flaws and second rate patches which obfuscate its vulnerabilities instead of repair them.

    The quicker Evolution lives up to its name, and departs from an Outlook-style UI model, the better. There are real performance issues they need to work on as well. Big IMAP stores are slow.

    Anybody really interested in moving AWAY from outlook/exchange should dig Open Groupware, forked from a stable commercial implementation that uses Cyrus, Postgres and OpenLDAP. They even have a ready-to-run Knoppix CD-ROM image, for evaluation testing:
    "The OGo Knoppix is the fastest way to get a running OGo demo, as it requires no installation - just boot from it and you get a working system, including a Cyrus IMAP4 server."

    More than 40% of MS's server customers are still running NT 3.5x and 4.0 - Mostly the latter!

    This is still a big deal. NT4 with LanMan auth is big, so is W2K in compatibility mode for 16-bit clients.

    MS always ships the old stuff - usually running by default - along with the new.

    The NT 4 customers who won't or can't move their apps are a problem. MS licenses are long ago paid. The shops are mostly self-supporting. It's revenue that MS can't get to. This is why they bought VirtualPC. They want to migrate these customers to VM's on W2K+3...
