  1. Re:I know! I know! on Searching for a Directory Service Solution? · · Score: 1

    Mod this guy UP!

    There haven't been a lot of useful answers for this guys question.

    Personally I understand what the question asker looking for. I've been a RedHat guy for years but I'm really disappointed with the their "enterprise" offerings. Their tools for configuring the various server packages are WEAK. The DNS configuration interface is iffy at best, DHCP...doesn't exist. You can barely setup a Samba system more advanced that you'd want to use at home. Any of the real options require you to hand edit the files and while I'm perfectly happy doing this on a very small network or at home it gets tiresome on larger networks.

    Also, if RH wants to charge a guy a minimum of $300 per server for ES then they damn well better provide me with the tools required to make my job quicker and easier to cover that cost.

    In the end, I think this guys best bet is to go with AD or eDirectory.

    How much does it matter? It's "clear text" once it hits the wired network anyway.

    Why do we exist at all? I lean towards evolution myself yet can't figure out why any of this exists at all.

    SRPMs are source rpms. SRPMS contain the source code for what ever software the RPM contains. Also, with an SRPM you can build the RPMs using a command called rpmbuild.

    To actually answer your question, just get the RPM discs

  6. Re:Document storage? on Tech Columnists' Day Without Email · · Score: 1

    I think in a way Apple's Spotlight and desktop search tools like Google Desktop are already doing this for people. I'm becoming quite reliant on using Google Desktop to find bits of information from my Outlook email because Outlooks search for what ever reason...can't.

    I also agree that perhaps email should be changed rather than the users. It's not very efficient to get an email and basically copy the contents somewhere else "because that's how it's supposed to work." To me that's as efficient attaching a text document to an email.

    No doubt. I just today found 11 CDR's of various makes out of my garage today. They've been out there for a few years in the heat and cold. I was able to copy the contents of each one without any trouble.

    Just use it and let IE answer that question for you. Let it fill up with spyware and then ask them for help.

  9. Re:NTBackup on Backing Up is Hard to Do? · · Score: 1

    The backup tool in Windows XP uses volume shady copy to do it's work and it does a surprisingly good job. It works rather well when reinstalling Windows on a machine. The downfall of the program however is it's lack of proper redirection.

  10. Re:For starters.. on Boot Process Visualization · · Score: 1

    I dislike the rhgb alot because it is a waste of resources and now because of bootchart I've found out that it causes an extra 20 seconds of boot time on my PIII500 system. It kills me that X gets started only to be killed and RESTARTED again to run GDM. SuSE and some others do it right with a framebuffer setup AND it covers the entire boot process from the moment the kernel is loaded.

    I also got identical boot times with readahead enabled and disabled.

  11. Re:it's the naming convention, stupid on How Sony's HD Audio Player Falls Short · · Score: 1

    Then you have manufacturers that will replace components or looks of a particular model and yet retain the same model number. Some will clue you in using a rev number but some won't. Sometimes the change is to a product that received great reviews initially but the new rendition of the product sucks do to cost cutting or what ever. The effect is that particular model is sought because of it's high reviews but the products sucks because they changed half the components that gave the model such high reviews.

  24. Re:Reverting the button order is a stupid idea on Project GoneME Fixes Perceived Gnome UI Errors · · Score: 1

    Sorry, but my eyes do not naturally look to the right for the ok button. Take the yes/no box for example. Who says, "would you like more corn dear, no or yes?" Of course not, we say yes or no, it's a "yes or no" question. Would you like to continue? yes or no? Ok/Cancel is a yes or no response ok==yes, cancel==no. Naturally Ok should come before cancel.

    I've always found the left to right language argument simply lame. If I have to look all the way over the left for the cancel button then you've just pissed me off, I always know where the button is and now you're making me look for it? I have to move my mouse that far to say no?
