We are doing everything in our power to eliminate doing any business with network solutions. When I started at ISP A, they were using previous BAP (some sort of business partner agreement) as the basis of doing registrations. Network Solutions proceeded to move towards their new interface, things changed subtley. Things would stop working one day. Managing a NIC Services domain was pretty easy to do as long as you were the proper contact, under the BAP agreements. managing WORLDNIC domains, which were the new interface worked horribly. I spoke with multiple people trying desperately to come to some sort of terms with their new partner agreements, as I was under pressure to maintain our previous level of service. What really bothered me about there new agreement programs was how silly they were. If you are an affiliate partner, network solutions/verisign would only allow you to list two nameservers. We maintain four for redundancy. Every domain that we'd register would have to be corrected afterwards. Verisign said it was technically impossible to change the number of name servers for an affiliate partner. What ended up coming out later, after a couple of conversations was that they wanted to discourage the affiliate program, so that people would become preferred partners. If you were a preferred partner you could list four but not otherwise. I thought this was lame. All of these problems all because there was no way that we were going to take over billing contact for domains.
In the past year, registrar agreements have posed the biggest nightmare in my daily duties.
We have looked to GKG.NET, and they seem reasonable. I would like to explore their affiliate/partner programs more.
Oh, and did I mention I had to submit 12 different Global Updates to update 750+ domains. I submited the first one, called them up as our deadline approached. I was asked for my TRACKING NUMBER. Explained that I did not get a tracking number. Was told to send it again. Wash, rinse, repeat. 12 times. Finally right before our deadline, I get an email stating it has been completed. Shortly afterward I get my Tracking Number. Periodically for the next two months my global update requests would be return rejected. Very bizarre. I guess their is one man behind the curtain responsible for global updates, I was told their was at least a 30 day delay. Man, I don't want to have to do it again, but our domain count will in the near future triple due to migrations coming to fruition....
What a nasty business... I don't know if I ever figured out the process for transferring registrars with network solutions either...
Sort of wandered into being an admin, in fact I wasn't up until this year really. doing mostly ms support up until this point. No certifications really. I picked up linux due to the fact that I was so broke ass poor it was the only interesting thing I could run on a 386. Running DOS only so I could download the slackware bits over a 14.4kbps modem, with a 45 minute freenet connection that would time out. Thankfully I could transfer 1.44 MB in 45 minutes during the wee hours of the morning, or it may never have happened. Using linux was simply the best education out there for the money, in fact it's better to do it for free than to waste the money on certifications. 5 Years of Linux for me!
I've searched every library I've been to, but only
the St. Paul Public Library carried this one. In my opinion it is a must for any library with technical books. Unfortunately the author is no longer among the living so I doubt it will be updated. I'd love to see IPv6 encompass a new volume

I've done installs on many machines. Not 67 but probably around 20-30, of the various incarnations, and the installs have gone quite well. Of course hardware is a huge factor, and may account for the differences in opinion. If you're a reseller or turnkey solutions provider you might want to consider standardizing upon certain hardware configurations. I've even done different distro installs and to be honest I haven't seen a damn bit of difference, except maybe file placement.
I've talked to medical manager about running on linux and several of their clients are running on linux. With SCO going the way of the dodo, it has to be obvious that medical manager will be running on linux with the next release. I spoke with a vp of sales I believe. They were willing to allow us to be a beta site. I was more interested in just letting them know there was interest in such a switch.
I think alluding to market capitalization as being the driving force of gnome is just a wee bit off base. Just because HP and Sun jump on an open source project as their standard doesn't mean the hacker developers behind gnome have somehow become greedy and lost their original focus. I

It works awesome. I use it to dictate all my email, and I'm getting more familiar using at as a psuedo command shell. You can control the mouse via a mouse grid. It provides more viavoice functionality than you get with the base viavoice for windows. Truly remarkable.
What you need to do is make sure you have viavoice installed correctly. That is a dependency that MUST be satisfied. Go through the documentation to insure that you've initialized it properly (the process has changed slightly with the new release) make sure you're mic is working. Get grecord or soundstudio or just do a dd (from the viavoice documentation). Compile and install the latest xvoice. Make sure its in your search path. Make sure that you have a ~/.xvoice directory (old versions skipped this step). In the.xvoice directory you should find an xvoice.xml file which you can modify to your hearts content.
I hope you're not talking about gvoice, because I always seem to get compiler errors when trying that. Never got it to work and it certainly doesn't appear to updated at all.
And if you'd like some more information you can email me at seppanen@bresnanlink.net, and I'd be happy to help you figure it out.
I'm waiting for ViaVoice dictation for linux from IBM now. The training that is available in the SDK 3.0 has improved my dictation so much, I can't wait to actually add words to the dictionary it's using.
I suppose many of them are like me. At work I browse with a windows box. Of course in the course of the day I'm administering several linux boxen both as servers and desktops. I don't view slashdot with those boxes, but I'm still more interested in the linux content even though I browse with M$ (actually I've now made the 40hr/week plunge into using strictly linux, booting windows is an anomaly). If I were interested in M$ I'd stick with www.windrivers.com.
I just can't figure out why some people are so dumb about the content on this site. It has always been that way, because that was the emphasis of the site, and just because some pc users have adopted the personality of nerds, doesn't mean this news for nerds site has to completely change its focus. If it sucks in your opinion go elsewhere.
All you have to do is pay $xxx,xxx.00 to get your parts reattached. I'd rather keep mine. Shall we say our Penix is bigger than yours? what's the best remote admin tool for NT? A CAR bahdabing...
Get a clue. Slashdot has been around for a long time, and a lot of the news deals with linux. Quit whining. This seems to be the overwhelming comment now.
Whine, whine, whine. "slashdot is news for nerds, I use xxxx OS, which rocks more than the pseudo Linux OS, put together by wannabees"
Nothing wrong with not liking the linux emphasis. However, show some respect for the people who put together a site that you enjoy. They happen to like linux, and have for a couple of years. I'm sure they're not the only nerd site on the web.
I've tried conferencing with Speak Freely and it worked OK, except for the fact that I cannot speak and listen at the same time due to the state of sound drivers under linux. I use the OSS drivers and have a yamaha opl3-sa2 and it would appear that there is no full duplex support for my card. Until you have full duplex drivers as the norm and not the exception it would seem to me that audio & video conferencing is doomed to suck under linux. Am I doing something wrong? Is alsa better in this respect? What is the current state of full duplex audio drivers for linux? I can't wait for the day that I can do voice recognition and still play mp3's or listen to a real audio stream. Are there any packages that work around this problem with full duplex?
Actually the price of cd's deters me more than anything from buying new cd's. Depending on where you live it can cost anywhere from $11 to $20. Where I'm at now they cost like $18.99. I haven't bought new cd's for several years. I like to load up on used CD's. So I think you could replace the word napster with used cd's. In fact that was, I believe, a past battle of the RIAA.
I love music, and actually had my own band for awhile, but still the expense of owning all of the cd's I like at new prices would drive me to the poor house real fast. If I like an artists music do I really need to pay the executive salary of some fat cat Looney Toons inc. executive who has to have a nice boat, a nice car and blah blah blah as well as the artist who needs a nicer car and a nice boat and babes'a'hoy. I'd rather just pay for the artist's decadence. Don't expect to see many layoffs of upper management at a Media Company any time soon.
But his whole post led up to that summation. It definately wasn't an ad hominem. It pretty much explained why he considered it "less philosophy than simple-minded childish progaganda."
Now taking that quote out of context and bashing that could also be held up as an "Argument of Intimidation"
Speaking of crude charicatures of Ayn Rand, you have to check out http://www.forum2000.org. Read up on the project, but hit the hall of fame, and check out Ayn Rands pseudo responses. As any good individualist, I think Rand is a moron, to explain why demands far too much time. Forum2000 has lots of gut busting laughs at the expense of ayn rand, and its even funnier considering its computer generated and accurate.

It's kinda ironic you can still download both completely free. It's also kinda ironic that neither is an example of redhat selling something.
