According to the FAQ it supports clusters/high availability of several types (towards the bottom), has Oracle 7 compatability, and has the option to upgrade to commercial support (something available for Postgres, MySQL and most others as well). It's got an install base of users used to large environments and has been reasonably proven in the field.
Just a thought.
# a similarly specced dual Opteron 244 1.8Ghz.... $3013
And this isn't even from big boys like Dell (who wouldn't be caught dead using AMD)... just a bottomfeeder from pricewatch.
You mean like these IBM machines? You can't realistically expect them from HP, the Itanium was built by HP. Dell is the definition of a bottom feeder.
Don't say these are servers and they don't count, they're perfect for workstations and are perfectly capable of being spec'd the same as the Apple. The price might not be the same, but the service is significantly better.
Run Linux, Windows, Mac, whatever on the backend, use your PS2 on the front end. Even use the handy DVD remote. Available from BroadQ or shortly from GameShark it has all the functionality I can glean from the Prismi?q box without yet another piece of hardware.
I'm not sure where these mystical offices are where the only thing they use is Office, E-Mail, and Internet. I have yet to see one. Sure, there are some people that do that, but I've never been anywhere the majority of the office wasn't using some form of industry specific software.
So, that software is almost always based on Windows, sometimes it's something else. Fact is, the OS shouldn't be the issue, nor should the hardware. I'm not going to restructure my business so I can run the apps that run on Macs just because they have better uptimes, the same goes for Linux.
Come on, delete all the url except the domain after reading the article (https://madpenguin.org) and you are promptly presented with their ensim site configuration tool. Since when was it good practice to not even move this from the root of the domain?
Come on, this is stupid. The Fry's in Austin, TX not only sells these boxes well, they can answer the questions. One bad experience because of a poor sales staff, ok he gets his opinion, but really, can't we get at least competent geeks giving their opinions here? Don't scrutinize companies for giving their customers what they want if you aren't going to manage your own business. At least what they're selling sells.
Now imagine this R2 unit is hooked up to your lan at home. It gets hacked into and someone drops a nice little app on your machine. Now you car is reporting back that all is fine and your engine burns up because you've been "ignoring" the fact that it says that it's too hot.
There is a reason that automotive computer systems aren't designed to be usable anywhere else or for that matter easily replaced by an end user. It's to protect the masses from the half wit that decided to reprogrram his car for better performance. Only to have it drive through a red light because the brake fluid is gone.
As a System Administrator you are eventually going to need to know how to program, at least on a limited basis. Soon there will be less and less "administration" and more development of resources. As OS's advance they are going to take less real administration and more tweaking to fit needs. In the Open Source world it helps a great deal to have some programming skills.
Also, you aren't going to want to do that forever, it gets old a lot faster than you expect it to. 10 years into your job you are going to wish for a degree. It's gets a LOT harder to go back after you get away. It can be done, but it's much more difficult.
GO TO COLLEGE, GET A DEGREE, ENJOY YOUR POST-SECONDARY EDUCATION YOUTH!!!!
Thankfully their "New Features" page is wrong. It lists the new Mozilla build as 0.9.2 but the RPM for the installation is for 0.9.9. On the other hand I notice that the page title still reads "New Features for RedHat Linux 7.2" so it's probably not done yet.:)
How many half hour shows actually have 30 minutes of the show to compress? Aren't most shows only 20-24 minutes anyway? That means you're not going get a full commercial in every show unless they are going to compress commercials as well. Which means there are probably going to be some upset advertisers.
Or we could do what some better platforms have chosen to do, put the drivers (and you can fit a lot of them) that are needed to make the minimal parts of a piece of hardware work, ON the hardware in a firmware. The hardware identifing itself and then installing a usable driver would be a godsend for things like network cards or modems. While that doesn't solve the issue of a uniform interface for smaller OS's, it would definitely help the larger alternative OS's perform in a more userfriendly manner.
I've had some of the better Outlook virii use the Notes address book, but only if specific versions of Outlook components were installed on the machine, even if they weren't used. I'm not certain how this technically was performed but it's still possible.

Damien Sandras, the lead for the GnomeMeeting project, has snapshots rolled of the forthcoming 0.12 release of GnomeMeeting.
Ripped from Mailing List
There are a lot of new features:
* ILS rewrite (you can browse several ILS servers at the same time)
* full ILS support
* videograbber support (you can now make changes on the fly)
* gatekeeper support
* docklet support (Miguel Rodriguez)
* image zoom support
* jitter buffer delay support and other advanced codecs settings
* devices auto-detection
* bandwidth control support
* preferences reorganisation
The drivers are the problem. There will hopefully be a user added section for Camera ratings on the site soon.
On the V4L mailing list there have been a lot of discussions about which cameras are best and how to take advantage of a bttv based card to use a camera for video input. The mail list is here. And you have to be a list member to see the list archives. You might also check out which cameras are supported at http://www.linux-usb.org and match that up with something on the V4L list and/or GnomeMeeting list and archives .
Bluetooth vs 802.11b... there are two competing standards
These things aren't directly competing standards, one is for communication between a machine and it's peripherals, the other is for inter-machine communication. Bluetooth would not be very useful for coporate networking as the range isn't far enough, and 802.11b is to powerful for every device connected to every machine to be using in any rational manner in a corporate environment. There are some overlaps but these are not directly competing.
Maybe there could be a way that people could be asked if their licenses could be posted. After all, it would be nice to see what traps some licenses fall into when trying to modify an existing license to fit the OSD.

Even better, the netblock owner for ir.sco.com is Sequent. How hilariously ironic is that.

Actually when created it was for the convergence of computers and telecommunications. See http://www.ici-exhibitions.org/Exhibitions/Telemat ic/telematic.htm for a description of the word. But it is NOT solely related to cars, that is for sure. :)
to make their website blink??

I don't see where people can get off saying that apt-get is easier than pkg-get. See www.sunfreeware.com for this tool. It's very similar to apt.
Well... Duralex is a kind of condom. I'm not sure what Sedlex is. :)

Some smaller movie places are playing it. In Austin , TX (home of SXSW) the Alamo Drafthouse is showing it in a week and a half.

Not that it's included on the main disc but pkg-get from sunfreeware.com is great. It's basically apt-get for pkg. And I think it's on the extras cd.

IA-64 is still far off,... Why do I think you are missing something here...Compaq would disagree.

But "Any sysadmin" apparently can't spell.

I would think that Redhat would disagree with your stance based on this product from their website.
