presumable "on steroids" means "with a fancy GUI".
rsync does this too. rsync can push or pull.
besides, there are plenty of rsync gui's, too.
however, bittorrent is almost certainly the best solution for this purpose -- the real question is coherency. You always know that eventually you'll have a complete and perfect copy at each location -- but how do you know WHEN that copy is complete so you can work on it? if this is strictly a backup system, then it's not needed, but it's probably not a good thing to be using files as they're being written:
some scripting -- rsync or BTdownload -- would fix this. copy the files to a working location when the update is complete, and then work from there while updates are restarted on the temp dir.
Well, they obviously get the sending IP address, so how about a reverse hostname lookup on the IP address to determine that it's a "Global 2000" company? Perhaps this information could be used as "evidence" to incite an invasion^H^H^H^H^H^H^H^H audit?
HP continues to have an extremely strong partnership with both Oracle and Microsoft. This stack is an open source stack specifically designed to meet the needs of customers that are looking for an open source platform and are willing to forego some performance and administrative benefits to get there. There are valid advantages to each platform.

We've been developing this solution stack with major customers since late 2003.
This architecture offers a reference architecture initially aimed at supporting Java and Jabber applications on Linux. Python, JPython, Perl, and PHP development support are planned for the next release.

I'd like to respond to this without starting a PG vs MySQL flamewar.
I'm well aware of many advantages that PostgreSQL offers over MySQL (e.g., nearly full SQL92 support, stored procedures in many languages, "object-oriented" storage, views, triggers, etc) and also the performance advantage that MySQL enjoys over PostgreSQL for some operations.
We've chosen MySQL over Postgresql because that is what our enterprise customers have requested. If we have sufficient interest in Postgresql, it will definitely move up on the roadmap.

His attitude seems to be, "Sure, I can use the code without reciprocation if it's another license." That's the whole point of the GPL -- to get the changes release back to the community for everyone's benefit.
I quit using Caldera in 1998 and haven't missed it. I think I'll stick with the free and open guys!! Goodbye, Caldera, I never knew thee well. Won't miss ya either..
ISPMan ROCKS! Requires Apache (of course) OpenLDAP, Cyrus IMAP, Postfix, and ProFTPd. (All/most of which are best of breed.) Handles centralized web-based authentication of FTP, IMAP, and SMTP users via LDAP without need for/etc/passwd. Also a separate web-based control panel for users, and a customized version of IMP for webmail based users.
computer in each room:
1) have a central repository (filesystem) and either use nfs or smb mounts (under linux) or smb mounts (aka fileshares) under nt. then just run the mp3 player on each system and pick the songs you want from the shared directory/filesystem and have it play through the local speakers/amp
2) have a central mp3 server that not only stores the songs, it plays them too using the multiple sound cards in the server as you had planned. have a web interface running on web server that allows you to choose what playlist to play through which cards. this would (almost) certainly require running linux or a unix on the server side as i'm not aware of any scriptable mp3 players on nt. (although there might be one).
one server total, multiple outputs:
1) just run multiple copies of xmms, each playing to a different soundcard.
if you don't have local sound cards in each room (as in the very first solution), you will almost certainly have difficulty playing more than one or two mp3's simultaneously unless your computer is very very fast.
also, get sound cards with very good buffering/caching (ala soundblaster live); i've noticed it makes a huge difference on my system (ie my desktop with c-500 & sb live (linux) never "skips" but my dell laptop with p3-700 & ess maestro (win2k) repeatedly "skips".
Slashdot Mirror
Right, several things to consider:
1) Is it necessary to continuously seed
2) Ongoing sync -- i.e., are these files changed on the fly

rsync does this too. rsync can push or pull.

I'd be happy to respond to questions about this supported and certified architecture that may not be answered in this article.

Agreed. HP provides first level support for anything certified by HP.

what -- do you only use your machine for slashdot? didn't test to see if you could get anywhere else? are you some kinda nerd or something? ;-)

Atif (the author) is very clever, very responsive, and ispman works very well and has been tested on Linux and FreeBSD.
