  1. Re:Other Famous Version Number Skips on Java 1.5.0 Now Officially Java 5.0 · · Score: 2, Informative

    Sorry, but you get it yourself wrong...

    Solaris is the "distribution" and is versioned 2.5, 2.6, 7, 8, 9.

    SunOS is the kernel and is versioned 5.5, 5.6, 5.7, 5.8, 5.9.

    So, Solaris 9 contains SunOS 5.9 (not 2.9!)

  2. Re:My favorite feature on OpenOffice.org Hits 1.1 · · Score: 1

    A big difference is that PDF printers usually produce documents without
    structure such as a table of contents (bookmarks). Acrobat PDF and I think also
    OpenOffice can do that because they know the structure (being near the
    application and not mere printer drivers).

  3. Graph of virus, 10/second on our mail server on Microsoft Virus Spam: SoBig.F · · Score: 1

    We got the first virus today at about 13:00 (MET +2) and we are now getting about 10 viruses every second:

  4. Re:XFT2 needs the XRender XFree86 extension ... on The Next XFree86 Wars: XFT2 vs STSF · · Score: 1

    The latest update to Solaris 9 (12/02) does support XRender in the standard X-Server. See the release notes: http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/816-7173/6md6rliq8?a=vi ew

  5. SEPP ideal package management on Manage Packages Using Stow · · Score: 2, Informative
    SEPP is a package management system that allows to separate packages in directories like Stow and similar, but in addition:
    • solves the distribution problem by allowing to mount packages with NFS and using the automounter to make the applications available under a standard path (/usr/pack/PACKAGE)
    • provides for each application a wrapper script that takes care of all the necessary environment setup so that users don't need to edit their bashrc
    • supports installation of multiple versions of the same application by installing version-tagged binaries in addition to the normal binaries. I can for example run mozilla-1.1 or just mozilla, in which case I get the "default" version. This is very important for example for a Ph.D. student that wants to finish his thesis with Matlab 5.3.
    • automatic generation of web documentation (have a look here)
    • usage logging with syslog
    • dependencies
