I managed to compile and install it . But I can't find instructions of how to run it. I was thinking I should shutdown the dm and then start it somehow. Release 1.5 looks like a production name, am I missing something ?
Any links to the docs or howtos ?
Asset Tracker works nice for us and is integrated inside Request Tracker. The web site only has the download item and the software is a little old but it runs surprisingly well.
FAT 32 files must not be bigger than 2GB, so the problem could be dealing with such a big files.
Installing ext3 or any linux filesystem solves the problem,but raises the user ownership issue the original submitter had.
This books explains about this in depth and it's worth every cent :
Rapid Development: Taming Wild Software Schedules
by Steve C. McConnell
I'm in no way related to it, I just own it and I think every project director should have one.
It contains a lot of ideas and hands-on tips you can immediately try on the field. The last section, named Best Practise, is a practical reference guide. There is also a chapter if you already are in a crazy project and want to rescue it.
The Barcelona HPC is the cutest. It is located in
a former church, see the pictures here:
http://www.bsc.org.es/
It was ranked 4th but now it dropped to 5th.
I've been there and the location is awesome. The church walls are still there. See the "galeria"
menu and go to "Mare Nostrum".
We had some redhat servers running fine until we had some problems with stability, and some broken packages with redhat 8.
With debian nothing breaks ever, this is the main reason to have it. Updates work like a charm, the system is stable. It's not easy to install, but latest sarge releases improved this a lot.
I use Fedora for workstation but has the same distrust feeling as redhat, I won't use it for critical servers. Debian is the distro I trust
More official packages, I don't have to search other rpm repositories, everything is apt-get near.
I was trying the other day to make someone switch to gaim. It looks like the best feature people like about messenger is something about adding pictures of yourself.
I find that reason amazing, in addition Messenger comes pre-installed and is a hell to uninstall.
Anyway I do use gaim, and we're lucky there is a windows version. Thank you
This is a site with 1.7 Million hits monthly and I was
glad to find out Mozilla is growing since last year. In one year it growed from 2.94 to 6.47%.
Nou 6.47% of the users are a lot of users, even this is a university web site and many technician people are expected to visit it.
Linux users are way behind, only 2,01%, but growing anyway from 1.29% july 2003.
I know there's no way my parents, for example, would be able to navigate a Linux desktop
You'd be surprised, my father ( 71 years old ) had
almost never in his live used a computer. Maybe just typing some word documents. When he retired he wanted to email and do some work.
He's now using a RH9 mozilla, gnome, openoffice and happy with it. He know it's linux and it's not exactly the windows he saw a couple of times, but it's not that hard at all.
Sometimes we underestimate our users, anyone who's using office is able to use openoffice. It'll be an adaptation time and maybe some complains that things are not were it used to be, but people are not likely to changes. But they did it before, I remember Wordperfect, Amipro, those were killer apps, but died and people got used to MS Office.
And if it's necessary people get used to openoffice and gnome or kde more easily than you may have expected.
Forget the myth of Perl. It is a full featured language made by a linguist. That makes it fine as a first language.
Beginning programmers took quickly to Perl because "it allows you to express yourself naturally." For instance, the automatic conversion between string and numeric types is what non-programmers expect:
the string "3" doesn't mean 51; it means 3. And if you add "4" to it, you expect to get "7" back.
In this article you'll find an interview with Simon Cozens about this very issue. There are experiences about theaching perl as a first language that will surprise you.
Cozens firmly believes that Perl should be a first programming language. "Oh, absolutely! It's ideal because it's a real-world language, unlike one designed specifically for teaching, such as BASIC (Visual or otherwise). It's a high-level language that deals naturally with natural concepts like strings and lines of text, unlike something like C; and it allows easy data and text manipulation without a tortuous syntax, unlike something like Python or Tcl. In fact, I don't know if there's a better first programming language."
Sponsors of the Irish Presidency
The Irish Presidency has buckled under
the interests of American Companies. Those big American Companies will profit from software patents, but it is a very bad deal for innovation in European SMEs. Additionally, this way of working is a violation of the Parliament. As such, we must make sure that after the elections there will again be a majority in the European Parliament that is willing to show its teeth.
In addition, the patent taxes in Ireland is 0%, that means that a lot of American Companies have their European Site there, and has became on of the main software exporters in Europe. ( software developed elsewhere in the world ). Even could be displaced to Ireland profits from other european countries to avoid paying taxes.
We europeans have luck because the European Parlament decided against software patents. Now this is in jeopardy.
The patent officials in the Commission and Council are abusing the legislative process of the EU. Their convoluted and misleading Patent Newspeak, negotiated in intransparent backroom dealings, is an insult to the European Parliament, the European Economic and Social Committee, the Committee of Regions and the innumerable experts and concerned citizens who have engaged in serious investigations on this directive project. It is unacceptable that the Council is throwing away all their hard work without any substantial justification whatsoever.
One to blame is the Irish Presidence,
Sponsored by Microsoft.

Soon there will be ellections for the European Parlament, take care of what you vote and if you have the ocasion, ask the politians about this issue.
here is a fine guide to build a Fairly-Secure Anti-SPAM Gateway Using OpenBSD, Postfix, Amavisd-new, SpamAssassin, Razor and DCC.
You can follow the steps and build it with Linux too. This entire procedure has been developed with security as a primary focus. These are the main tools it shows:
Amavisd-new
(www.ijs.si/software/amavisd) is the main filter which processes email from
postfix and ensures that we don't lose any mail. Amavisd-new is an huge improvement
over the original amavis which was a simple virus scanner, and I think it is
the best way of implementing SpamAssassin
(www.spamassassin.org). SpamAssassin is the main anti-spam component which
works by comparing messages to a ruleset and by using a statistical analysis
that is custom built based on your email. In addition to the SpamAssassin spam
detection software, we will be using 2 online SPAM databases: DCC
(www.rhyolite.com/anti-spam/dcc) and Vipul's
Razor (razor.sourceforge.net).
don't go to Spain and call their wonderful cava champagne. Ever. When I was researching on a travel website for information on Barcelona last summer, I read a story about someone who did just that and wondered why the Spaniards were so upset and suddenly cold
This can't be true, I'm from Barcelona (Spain) and we call cava and champagne the same drinks. Though we know the difference, and we know also you can get excellent Catalan Cava at a much lower price than French Champagne. It's not only you won't notice the difference unless you're an expert. They are good anyway. And you can spend a lot of money in expensive Cava, if you want.
I'd like to point many people think champagne it's only a drink for the dessert. Wrong! You should drink it with any dish. When you go to the restaurant, or buy it in a shop, ask the waiter an advise so you can eat a fish or meat and drink with a champagne. In the dessert, usually sweet, ask for a sweet wine, like a Pedro Ximenez or a Sauternes, or better, let the sommelier advice you.
I live in one of the places of the world where excellent quality wine is produced: Catalonia (Spain). This is north of Spain, south of France. Priorat Wines are made here, and many other very good wines.
This has been and extremely warm summer and some country people started telling this harvest was going to be one of the best since 100 years. This is a false asumption due to the fact that grapes mature sooner and got many sugar. Sugar is the key to develop alcohol.
So you got it, lots of sugar, lots of alcohol, better wine. Wrong. The harvest has been done in a hurry because the grapes got so matured that they started get rotten in the wine. There has been little time for the grape to develop.
In short : you could get grapes with more sugar ( so wine with more alcohol ), but the quality of this grape is worse, and the harvest is short.
I don't see what all the fuss is about. A car going at 100 mph isn't any less likely to kill anyone than a car going at 215 mph.
There is one thing you miss. Maybe someone hit by a car would die anyway. But the driver and the passengers, are more likely to have an accident and later suffer from harder wounds and die in an accident at 215 mph than at 100mph.
Recently, a country in Europe, I think it was France, lowered the speed limit by 10 or 20 mph. The number of accidents decreased.
I've read a lot of interesting answers here about what you should do. I'd say go fot it. Anyway some software could help you. I tried MS Project for this but it was not exactly what I wanted. Now I'm using: Request Tracker
It allows requests by mail and keeps customers updated of changed jobs. Separate jobs per areas, change priorities, assign jobs to people, and many other features.RT is an enterprise-grade ticketing system which enables a group of people to intelligently and efficiently manage tasks, issues, and requests submitted by a community of users.RT manages key tasks such as the identification, prioritization, assignment, resolution and notification required by enterprise-critical applications including project management, help desk, NOC ticketing, CRM and software development.
I've been using this in a small shop with 5 workers and it helped us a lot. It also is used in way big places and Fortune500s. And I think it could be used in one-man places.
A thing a like a lot is it allows the customers send you the requests by mail. If you manage to make them get used to it you have a lot of work done.
It took me a weekend to install it and test it and it was worth it.

PHP is a bit easier for creating web pages. It automates some of the things Perl makes you do for yourself {like grabbing form variables and function parameters} and you don't have to remember to send a MIME type, but

· Score: 1
If you only want to have some servers giving redundant services, like web or mail, this is quite straightforward to configure and use.
Pen, a load balancer for "simple" tcp based protocols such as http or smtp. It allows several servers to appear as one to the outside and automatically detects servers that are down and distributes clients among the available servers. This gives high availability and scalable performance.
This has been more a question about RedHat vs something else. I've seen most of the posters liked debian for its stability.
The main reason we keep using RedHat is about the installer. Most of all because it supports the creation of Volumes (LVM) and RAID right in the beggining of the installation. That makes it way easier than something else.

I know many people in spain using SuSe. Most of them
switched from RedHat.
If so, why ?
It's got RPMs, it's easy to install. It just works.
If I scan the network for PCs that listen on port 4444, will I get a list of compromised hosts ?
PHP is a bit easier for creating web pages. It automates some of the things Perl makes you do for yourself {like grabbing form variables and function parameters} and you don't have to remember to send a MIME type, but
Pick HTML::Mason for doing this and much more with mod_perl and apache
