I live in central wisconsin and own not one but two homes one of which I rent. Both of my mortgages combined are barely over 12K a year and I have 5 acres, a three car garage, huge workshop, barn and a huge two story house...yep they can keep that california jazz..
Considering that I used to load red hat on everything and now dapper since I have gotten so accustomed to it I would say this is absolutely correct. Still have to run red hat on our oracle systems and such but the article is dead on the money. It is not going to happen over night but it is happening already.
It is yet another attempt to leverage their platform to dominate and monopolize yet another market. Sooner or later the govt is going to bring them down, probably at the direction of the next democratic president which is very likely due to GWB's popularity.
Yea the second box is soooo difficult just swap the disks in the local raid and boot a copy of the first machine, do a node rename and setup up networking and you are done.
No what you are saying is exactly what I expected you or your sysadmins are more comfortable with solaris. It had nothing at all to do with the product or the operating system but everything to do with the person installing, tweaking and maintaining it. I don't really see as to how time has anything to do with it either since it takes less than two hours to install a box with oracle from ground zero. I have nothing but a high school diploma and lucky I even got that, you would think a smart MIT dude could handle it if I can.
Actually I call bull shit when I see it if you had problems with a oracle / redhat production database then you have a sysadmin problem without a doubt. I sysadmin a couple of oracle RAC clusters and since the day they where turned up the clusters we have never once had a single moment when the database has not been available.
Get a search warrant, then you can look all you want, these guys must subscribe to the Bush Administrations version of the unlawful search and seizure laws.
Well at least Novell has a little focus on the desktop they stand half a chance of surviving. RedHat on the other hand is gonna find themselves in serious trouble quickly I am thinking. When RedHat decided to take focus off their desktop to capitalize on the enterprise market it was a smart thing to do short term to generate more revenue. Now enter ubuntu, hell I don't know many admins or various desktop users that don't use ubuntu for their desktops. The net effect of that is I now prefer it as a serving platform also. RedHat sold their soul for quick money but it is going to kill them in the end. Same goes for Novell, you have to have a good strategy front to back.
Securing the web server is one thing securing the applications that run on it is quite another. I am not saying that their platform has not improved because it has but right now the only way it is gaining market share is by buying it with good ole fashion cash. Nobody that is running linux/unix based web servers are likely to give them up without a fight, the unix/linux platform is 100 times more flexible, more secure, easier to remotely administer than windows ever will be. Add to this the fact that the os and apache and databases behind it are free and you have little chance of gaining ground.
How fast will spybot search and destroy run on it.?
Seriously by the time you add virus scanning, spybot removal tools and all the other crapware you need just to keep one running half your cluster clock cycles are gone.
In the military promotions are the result of seniority and heavily on performance. In the civilian world promotions are a result of how will you can attach your lips to somebodies buttocks.
Why not just include a autodownload script that downloads and installs the drivers straight from the nvidia ati or whoever during the install. Just a few simple lines of python or perl and everything is solved. Then it is entirely up to the user if they want to install unsupported software. Same goes for mp3, video codecs, flash plugins, adobe stuff just build a script to install if the user clicks ok it does not have to be any harder than that.
We had a few developers build a mission critical system based on Kylix to run on our desktop clients. Now here we are a few years later and borland decides to end of life the development environment. The runtimes are dependant on the kernel versions. Now guess what I have, a program that I have to compile and or change on a old version of the operating system and I cannot upgrade production to anything newer I am forever stuck in this situation until a large amount of money is spent to replace the application....That gents is exactly why Kevin is just plain wrong I don't need and I sure don't want your proprietary software.
Ethanol is cleaner burning by a huge margin and the largest contributor to engine failure is dirt generally dirt caused by burning petroleum fuel. Ethanol will burn cleaner actually extending the life of a engine considerably if designed to burn it. Alcohol also has a much higher knock rating and burns cooler which also contributes to longer engine life.... so you are dead wrong sir...
The FBI secretly sought information last year on 3,501 U.S. citizens and legal residents from their banks and credit card, telephone and Internet companies without a court's approval, the Justice Department said Friday.
And how many of these 3,501 where arrested as a terrorist? I suspect none or very , very few so how many of these where violated?

No you got it wrong damn if they do anything....most of us here really could care less what they do since we don't
make it a habit to run crapware.

ooohhh woooow I am impressed considering I am running what, 12 instances on one of my xen servers and thousands of users.
Xen also kicks vmwares arse up one side and down the other when it comes to speed.

Interns writing software for microsoft? Now that sure does go a long way to explaining why it is what it is.
Yep it has 600 bucks worth of long way to go....right....

349 in the past 5 years is not a whole lot of people considering the size of the navy.
Well when you are writing java you have to write that many lines to get hello world done.

ummmmm, having 13 years active duty in both the army and navy I am well aware of how advancement works.
In the military promotions are the result of seniority and heavily on performance. In the civilian world promotions are a result of how will you can attach your lips to somebodies buttocks.
