  1. Re:The bogus from address is the problem with this on Klez, The Virus that Keeps on Giving · · Score: 1

    I have the same problem here...

    I have checked everybodies desktop twice now and I'm still getting warnings in the mail server logs and also getting nasty emails from other companies telling me to stop sending virus'

    grrr, I hate Microsoft crap!

  2. Re:thin client solution... on Thin Clients in a Computer Lab Environment? · · Score: 1
    I would use the following solution depending on your needs:


    Linux on the desktop. This will enable you to have remote X sessions. Also add rdesktop for remote Windows sessions via Win2k Terminal Services. And if you really need it, use Citrix client.


    ie. best solution/platform is Linux :)

  3. Re:I'll have one! on Slashback: Playstation, CueCat, Games · · Score: 1

    same in Australia...

    I'd love a few CueCat's

    CS sucks!

    biggest fag boy cheaterz game ever!

    Try a real game like Tribes or Tribes 2.

  5. Re:Use an existing setup... Much easier on Recommendations for Digital Security Systems? · · Score: 1

    We use this exact solution in our premises. We have also attached an external 1U storage array whcih enables us to have ~30days of storage.

    My advice, go with a professional digital solution. Analogue/tape is dead (at least in Australia).

  6. Name for the dolphin on Name The MySql Dolphin · · Score: 1

    It has to be called Darwin...

  7. Accounting packages on Linux... on Accounting Systems on Linux? · · Score: 1
    We are in the process of replacing our current (7 years old) system called MFG-Pro running on SCO Unix.

    We are moving to a product called Distrib running on Linux.

    Distrib is based on Unidata (from IBM/Informix). Whilst the package is costly (AU$90k), it will easily handle our AU$100Million business.

  8. DDR and P4 on Intel Wakes Up To DDR-SDRAM · · Score: 1

    I actually have an engineering sample motherboard using Intel chipset and DDR ram. It is based on the 845 chipset...

  9. Friends from the workplace - Yes and No on Friendships in the IT Workplace? · · Score: 1
    In my old job I made a few close friends which I still have to this day...

    But in my current job, its strictly 9-5.

    They just don't seem to want to socialise outside work...

  10. Re:IDE Hardware RAID on Squeezing 160G on to ATA Motherboards · · Score: 1

    Not the 3ware cards...

    they use max 5% cpu.

  11. Re:3ware? on Squeezing 160G on to ATA Motherboards · · Score: 1

    The 3ware RAID cards support large drives (>137GB)...

    The 3ware cards rock; I have a server I take to LAN games. I setup the server as an ftp server and it easily supports 40+ users for 18hours!!!

  12. 3ware IDE RAID is the way to go... on Creating Large, Safe, and Cheap Network Attached Servers? · · Score: 1

    We use them in our servers and they support 50+ users without problems.

  13. Re: RDP on Using A Laptop as KVM Head? · · Score: 2, Informative
    I have to take issue with yr comment on RDP...

    in a Windows environment RDP wins hands down. I admin my Windows servers from a Linux box with a native RDP client called rdesktop and it works better than VNC! If I'm admining my Linux boxes I do use VNC or native X, although I mainly use SSH for everything.

  14. Re: 3ware drive cage on Better Cages for IDE Drives? · · Score: 1
    The 3ware drive cage takes 3 drives in 2 bays!

    I have 2 of these cages in my MP3 server. This server has 6 x 40GB IDE drives in a RAID 5 configuration running from a 3ware 7810 card. It serves 50 users without any problems.

  15. Re:3ware RAID cards vs SCSI on The Book of SCSI, 2nd Edition · · Score: 1
    My company sells/supports these cards and as such we use them in our own servers.

    We are using the 3ware 6000 series cards for our Win2k Domain controller, our Lotus Domino mail/app server, and our database server (Linux/PostgreSQL).

    These servers support 50 users and performance is very good. So as SysAdmin I am very happy with the 3ware cards.

    Acer Notebooks also have similar features.

    Power on password

    BIOS setup password

    Hard Drive password

    On high end systems; smart card/fingerprint reader

    Add onto this OS based security and it makes for a reasonably secure setup

  22. we did this at work on On Building Massive Data Storage Systems... · · Score: 1

    I work for Acer Australia and we did this for an ISP not so long ago. Essentially it was a RAID 5 system using external storage boxes and multiple drives. Backup was a bastard, but we just used a massive data tape library (Travan I think). It was all using standard off the shelf x86 type hardware, nothing special at all. Worked very well...
