Like Blackberry and Good. We use Good at work. That would be sweet. Don't get me wrong, I love my Nokia E61, but an iPhone would be the cat's whiskers.
I hope you're not running red hat 9. I'm still running it on one system just because it's a production server for about 600 users. Had to recompile gcc from 3.2.2 to 3.2.3 (not a quick process on a dual xeon 700) to get to sendmail 8.13.6 (from fedora 4 mind you) to build at all. -fpie was the culprit. was running sendmail 8.13.1 purely for greetpause.
IMO, Sysadmins and desktop techs won't let it happen in a corporate envinronment.
Floppy drives are just too handy when Ghosting desktop machines, doing flash upgrades, and making boot disks.
Like the article says, it's not a big deal for home users that can use DVD-R(W), CD-R(W), and Flash Drives, but in the enterprise, floppy drives are still needed.
If you are using Windows 2000/2003, an easy redundant file serving solution is to setup DFS (distributed file system). Just a tip, don't setup a domain-wide share for a file server that gets a lot of updates. Using DFS like that can create an administrative nightmare (last writer wins situation). You would want to use a domain-wide share if you have a lot of read-only files (like installation files, PDF image archives, etc) and you need a high-availability solution. You would be restoring files from tape a lot. Anyhoo, if your first server crashes, temporarily redirect your users to the second server either via DNS or just renaming the servers. DFS doesn't replicate printers, so you would have to install a new printer two times, once on the first server and a second time on your second server. Shouldn't be too much a problem if you only have 15 users.
If you are using Linux/UNIX/*BSD, you could use Rsync. There was a great article explaining Rsync usage in the June '04 print edition of SysAdmin.
I've experienced good results using ClamAV.
My setup is as follows:
Sendmail 8.12 -> MS Exchange 2000 -> Outlook clients
My outfit was already married to Microsoft, and the Exchange server was buckling due to being inundatad with spam. I'm also running Symantec AVF on my Exchange server (Dell PE6650, Quad 1.4Ghz Xeon, 3Gb ram).
I originally installed Linux on a Dell Dimension desktop (450Mhz PIII, 768Mb ram) using Sendmail + Spamassassin + spamass-milter + RAV. Spamass-milter isn't very stable, and I had a request to append a legal disclaimer to all outbound email (I work at a law firm). I swapped spamass-milter in favor of MIMEDefang to interface Spamassassin with Sendmail while also appending those legal disclaimers. Microsoft had bought RAV by this point, so I dumped RAV for ClamAV. The Linux box has also moved to a retired Dell PE6450 (Dual 700Mhz Xeon, 3Gb ram).
So now MIMEDefang is performing several functions, plus I only have one milter running instead of three.
ClamAV catches 90% of my incoming viruses and Symantec AVF catches the rest.

I watch every movie that comes thru my mailbox. netflix is great
no one should be using pre-2000 anyway

the Optimus is going to be bad ass

The Bigger Disk and Bigger Disk Extreme are both RAID, just not fault tolerant RAID.
Lacie also makes some server storage solutions...
Check out the Ethernet Disk and their TX12000.
Was there ever any mention of Sun making their license GPL?

I wonder if this will have an adverse effect on Sun's Project Looking Glass?
Nuthin better. Good & fast...

You just need to buy yourself a pair of asbestos pants :)
Does that include real XML formats like OpenOffice/StarOffice or the M$ XML format that Word uses?
It's on a DSL connection.
On Linux, I may run several services that are related like sendmail/bind or apache/php/mysql.
On Windows:
File/Print, one server.
Exchange, one server.
SQL, one server.
AD/DNS/DHCP on server.
Don't do your own. It can be disasterous. XIOtech is awesome.
There's a lot of info here too:
Arin
Ripe Ncc
Apnic
Lacnic
Not stalled, but it'll probably be tied up in mass tort litigation for years like Silica, Asbestos, Manganese, etc.
