I never said I was testing only the OS. I was testing Sun's OS on Sun's hardware against Linux on the prevailing Linux architecture, x86. I wasn't benchmarking from a scientific standpoint, I was benchmarking from a "how will our money best serve our business" standpoint in which case the low-end Sun hardware prevailed in my specific applications.
That "Please go back to science 101" comment was certainly scathing though.
Primarily qmail and BIND. Especially qmail. We could push WAY more messages through on the Sun box than on the Linux box. Our outgoing SMTP server processed hundreds of thousands of outgoing messages per day.
I'm surprised someone on/. is willing to realize and admit that Solaris is more stable than Linux. It's faster too. I've done side-by-side benchmarks of single-cpu Sun boxes vs. dual-cpu Dell boxes running Linux and the Sun boxes won every time.
I had a brand new one that I picked up from a place I used to work with old IBM equipment. It was in the box and everything. I threw it out when I moved two months ago.
I an running Nagios and having a major problem with one of the plugins that is severe enough to make me throw out the software if I can't get it working.
I've asked on the two nagios mailing lists and received no answer. How do I, working for a major corporation, promote this software package if there's nobody that can help me fix it? Where do I look for support for a free product?
You know that Netsaint/Nagios and SAINT/SATAN are not the same thing, don't you? Apparantly not. Netsaint/Nagios is a host monitoring system, SAINT/SATAN is a vulnerability scanner.
I assume that PHONE on VMS has been around a lot longer than any of the current IM systems, but not as long as TERM-talk. It has basically the same functionality as described on the TERM-talk site.
From what I've heard, the porn industry isn't thriving. Three companies control almost all of the Internet porn and everyone else barely breaks even, if that.

Hardly any systems have a BIOS that supports USB booting right now.
People spend so much time and effort on MMORPGs that they should allow people to actually make a little money.
Or perhaps they shouldn't spend so much time and effort on MMORPGs and spend more time and effort in real life?
In Korea they would need SEPOS, or alternately titled KEKEKEOS.

Because if it is, I want to short.
An E450 is what, 6 or 7 years old? How can you compare that with a brand new Intel box?
I'm running the included XP Home on my Dell Inspiron 8200 laptop. XP Home fo' life.

Because Solaris was built to run on a SPARC, not x86. Likewise, Linux was built to run on x86.

So you went from an operating system totally tuned and customized to your processor to a port of a general purpose OS originally designed for x86?
I'm the Unix administrator and I have a "for Dummies" book sitting on my shelf.
It's there because I wrote it.

Perhaps you could use those old computers for something more useful than just collecting them.
Seeing it's open source, couldn't they just grab redhat's fonts?

This is the equivalent of someone GIVING him the car, FOR FREE, and him saying "how do I get the trunk open?"
Their response is "Figure it out yourself or give us $50 for the manual. We GAVE you the damn car for FREE!"
I gave complete details including the relevant excerpts from my config files and got nothing.
I hope you're not a financial planner. I'd hate to see what you'd do for other investments.
You don't have a closet full of beanie babies in plastic bags, do you?

That's only $3, it's not a huge loss at all.

HP-UX already runs on Itanium, they sell IA-64 HPUX boxes.
