  1. Re:OpenSolaris / ZFS on SoHo NAS With Good Network Throughput? · · Score: 1

    How come this only gets a 3?

    I use netapp's at work and for anything where I didn't have an unlimited budget I'd use opensolaris with zfs.

    For a turn key solution based on the same technology perhaps you should check out nexenta which is a commercialisation of opensolaris and zfs to solve the problem at hand here...

    No I don't work for them.. but I've used it and it's cool. :)

  2. php/oracle/java based pc/mac palm conduit on Handhelds Syncing w/ Web-Based Calendars? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    We wrote a php/oracle calendar for our university and migrated all users (30 thousand plus) to it (previously we were using netscape calendar).

    We also wrote a palm conduit for it for pc and mac..

    It has been in production for over a year now with many thousands of users using it every day.

    We were going to open source it but havent because of how oracle centric it is .. we really should have used pear to not be oracle centric.

  3. Re:Knoppix on Knoppix Tips and Tricks · · Score: 2, Interesting

    sdd in my experience is much faster than dd .. and comparable to older versions of ghost in terms of speed..

  4. radiator and 40,000 users.. on Radius w/ MySQL? · · Score: 1

    We use radiator with oracle to support 40,000 users with no problems whatsoever.. the support and software is great.

  5. antivirus - a sendmail milter on Scanning for Windows Viruses in Linuxland? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I installed this for an organization's mail server which has over 40,000 users .. we were very concerned about a performance hit.. and on the server stats you can not see a hit.

    We combined this with mcafee under linux which also works very well but there are other options available.

  6. Cubase will still exist for windows and is better on Apple Buys Emagic · · Score: 1

    Apologies for the rant .. but I bought logic for windows and it NEVER bloody worked .. so as far as I'm concerned this is about time.. and they should give all their RIPPED off windows customers a refund (and pigs might fly)..

    My history with emagic on windows is awful.
    I used to be a very happy Atari ST owner running emagic's Notator and then fell for their marketing about the windows logic being the new best thing.. so I bought it.. I was a student at the time so it cost me an arm and a leg (or so it felt at the time) .. it never worked. I upgraded many times (usually at my cost) and it still never worked.. it wouldn't work with some video card or version of windows or whatever.

    I then found cakewalk (which I always found difficult to take seriously but it was heaps better than logic) .. and then CUBASE!! .. ahh cubase on windows is unreal.

    Unfortunately .. midi with transfer rates slower than my modem .. and less ability to keep a tight rhythm than a virgin on prom night leaves me wondering why they've never put a bloody ethernet point into some music gear!

  7. vmware under linux on Headless Windows 2000 Servers? · · Score: 1

    For the reasons outlined in other posts you'll still need a video card.. but you wont need anything plugged into it.
    You can configure linux with serial console support and then run vmware on it with windows server inside it.
    We do this at work on many servers with great success.

  8. mindstorms news thread on Homemade Robotic Arms for CD Duplication? · · Score: 1

    This seems relevant.. a discussion of some people who have tried to do this with mindstorms..
    I personally like the idea of the suction cups
    idea for picking up the cd's..

  9. lprng/ifhp and printers with hardware pagecounters on Printer Quotas in Linux? · · Score: 3, Informative

    lprng/ifhp and printers with hardware pagecounters enable this functionality. We have implemented this for approximately 50 great lexmark laser printers across 5 campuses (hint.. look at the achk and af entries that you can put in to an lprng printcap file).

    I strongly recommend reading lprng doco regarding pagecounting. And then don't follow our example and use software based counting instead (which we may test when we get time.. I think it is also much easier to implement as good hardware page counters in printers are rare these days).

  10. You dont need crossover! Wine runs quicktime! on Quicktime Under Linux With MPlayer · · Score: 1

    Apologies for being off topic.. but everyone seems to think that you need crossover to run quicktime when wine works fine to run quicktime.
