  1. Re:The day this happens... on IPv6 Ready For A Spin · · Score: 1

    But it won't happen in a day. Deployment has already begun, and you would know this if you had bothered to read the article. Through tunneling, IPv4/IPv6 gateways, and such, IPv6 is being deployed over a matter of years and years. This is not some simple "flip the switch and work really really hard for one day" sort of thing.

  2. Re:What's in it for ISPs? on IPv6 Ready For A Spin · · Score: 2

    But they don't just "grow on trees." Have you bothered to look at ARIN's allocation policies for IPv6?

    Pacbell hasn't even ventured into deploying IPv6 yet, but if they want a TLA (/48), it's gonna cost them $20,000 per year. For a /35 or anything less, it will cost $2,500.

    But then you need to ask yourself the real question: 'What am I smoking and why do I think that ISPs depend on the revenue from "selling" IP blocks?'

  3. Re:I've been doing this for ~1 year... on Dual-Booting Linux & NT Without NT Boot Loader · · Score: 3

    BTW, if you try Win2000, it requires its own custom boot sector ... if you install LILO in the MBR, W2k won't boot ... but with LILO on the partition boot sector, things work just peachy!

    That's interesting.. because just two days ago, I installed rh6.2 on my new IBM Thinkpad 600X, then installed w2k professional on another partition, then reinstalled lilo with a rescue disk, added w2k to my lilo.conf, and everything works nice. Where/how/why does it need a "custom boot sector"?

  4. What I'd really like to see is... on Can Linux Beat Microsoft in Education? · · Score: 1

    A clear case study without the market hype showing exactly how a complete E-Education system is working cohesively. With the marketing speak and such, the actual message seems to be a bit dilluted.

    Currently, I'm involved with an educational institution that is struggling to integrate all forms of technology. Lotus Notes, a proprietary FileMaker Pro grading system, NT file/print servers, Tegrity WebLearner Systems, Cisco IP Telephony, and Windows95 on every desktop. It's pretty scary and needs some work.

    So what are all of you doing for your E-Education systems? What software/hardware/infrastructure/processes are used?

  5. Well.. on Building a "Distributed" FTP Server? · · Score: 1

    How about some Cisco DistributedDirector love along with Veritas clustering/mirroring solutions. If you're running Solaris, you can't go wrong with this combination. If you're running Linux or something else, then s/Veritas/CODA/ or something.

  6. Re:I can see it now... on Artificial Intelligence IRC Bots? · · Score: 1

    um. it's eliza
