As an IT worker for a YMCA we've recently been looking at software to replace our aging DOS application as well. I've looked at quite a few different packages and I'ved listed them below along with websites. Many of them are YMCA centric but they might still be of help.
* Aphelion (http://www.aphelion.net) * Christensen Computer Company (http://www.cccsoft.com/) * Class (http://www.classinfo.com/) * CSI (http://www.csisoftwareusa.com/) * Daxko (http://www.daxko.com) * Finesstri (http://www.finesstri.com/)
Those are a few that I've found during my search. I've personally seen Aphelion, CCC, Daxko and Finesstri. Daxko's pricing is revenue based where most of the others set a rate on number of users or other factors that might suit a small place well.
you could also try qtparted. You can get it along with decent ghost like program called partimage at http://www.sysresccd.org/. At this site you can download an ISO which boots and contains the above mentioned programs. Read the site for docs but I'm pretty sure it can resize NTFS partitions.
I second Jinzora. Very nice. You can download album art through the Jinzora interface, create playlists and even download the songs instead of streaming them. I used it for about 6 months to stream my music from home to work but recently gave it up in favor of having local copies of my music with iTunes.
But the ability to stream your music to anywhere that as broadband so long as it's as quick as the bit rate you encoded your music at.
Problem is when you're not listening. While no audiophile would be listening from mp3s even I don't want to hear some fan running during a quiet passage. Also, it is distracting during movies. And lastly, I bet there is a wife to please.
Doesn't any one use the service command? Not the nitpick but I'm all for/etc/init.d/service_name_i_just_can't_remember but sometimes service httpd restart works nicely.
Yes it will be. Hmm, lets see, I (unknowning computer user) buy new computer, I open IE, I see msn.com, links to newsbot.msn.com, mmm, I like the first thing I see, it looks like msn.com so it's familiar looking, it must be the best.
Recent Microsoft news reminds of a movie, name of which slips my mind, but it's "in the future" and all restaurants are owned by and called Taco Bell. I just know that some day I'm going to drive my Microsoft Jetta on Microsoft Elm Street to workout at my local Microsoft Health Club on a Microsoft treadmill. Of course each item listed above would have a more meaningless name like, Microsoft Runner for the treadmill.
There are some fancy forumlas to help calculate how much bandwidth you need and how utilized it will be. I don't remember all the details it included: number of users and at what time during the day, how much each user uses the network and when they are using the network heavily, how long.
Maybe some net searching will help you find the formula, I'm too busy working right now:-)
Funny, just got back from a presentation on this. No, you cannot copy n paste or do a print screen or any kind of desktop capture.
I asked about those who do not have outlook and the lame answer I got was, "I sent an attachment to someone once and it wouldn't work." That was their answer! So evidently Outlook 2003 does break the ability for others to read attachements. Can I assume then that this feature sends the message as a specially crafted attachement? And that I a Mozilla Mail user can't read it at all? I guess that does prevent me from forwarding the message or anything else.
Also of note is it's ability to send InfoPath files directly to others. They claimed it would show up as an HTML message if you didn't have InfoPath, but I would assume you need Outlook 2003 anyway.
Bottom line, I walked away from the conference feeling like I had just found out I only had a few months to live. There was no mention of compatibility between Office versions nor non office users. It's a forced upgrade through and through, if you for some reason decide to update to Office 2003 and you do business with me, it won't be long before I must upgrade as well and so on and so on.
ha! I have a P75 with 20 megs of ram running RH 7.3, iptables and ipsec. A P166 with 96 MB ram running the same. A P166 with 45 MB ram running samba with domain sign on and DNS.
Less than a year ago did I turn off the 33mhz 486 class machines running DOS with between 4 and 8 megs of ram. Some had SCSI drives others had IDE, but non were larger than 500MB. They all ran an old DOS based app which is still in use today, now it's just served off of a new file server.
Personally I think a lot of people give up on old hardware before it's really done. I still use a PII 350 running w2k as my primary work desktop. And I'm happy!
Why has ICQ lost so much "market share" IIRC, it used to be the only way to go and then all of a sudden it just wasn't. I know I quit using it because it kept my contacts local only make it a pain to re-add everyone if I reinstalled my machine or signed on from somewhere else.
The change log mentions creating trust relationships with NT4 machines, can I create trust relationships between two samba machines. I would assume so but I'm for a definite yes.

Sounds to me like signorseal. You want to edit the following entry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Serv ic es\Netlogon\Parameters\requiresignorseal and set it to 0. Reboot and your XP machines will now be able to logon to your samba domain.
Don't worry, we'll all read the article for you and answer the question
"Although I don't have an accurate method of reliably measuring the time it takes to start the program, I'd say its about twice as fast as StarOffice 6."
GUI's can be reconfigured for people like you. Personally I find the windows layout great. Pull the task bar up one notch, put the quick launch bar under the program list and the desktop menu and I'm set. I honstly like the WinXP start menu design and wish someone would emulate it in Linux.
That's the beauty of Linux, I have the choice of desktop systems to use, from ultra heavy to incredibly light and everything in between. Even better is that no one, well except you, is telling me what I should use, I can decide on what fits my needs.
BTW, the clock is on the right because the start menu goes on the left, duh...
And to reply to myself, they said interlacing is bad because it causes tears any time there is any action on the screen so a non-interlaced display will look better.
I've heard 1080i isn't the best, but rather a system that can do the non-interlaced version of that. So a person should look for a system that can do 740(?) non-interlaced.
I would recommend you turn yourself in, find the university computing services staff member who is responsible for the system, and talk to them in person
I agree completely. You should certainly contact your computer services or IT department first.
Many moons ago I was surfing securityfocus and found some sample exploits for Windows NT 4.0 and IIS 4. Being the not so smart person I am I decided to try these out on the main campus webserver. Sure enough they worked. First thing I did was tell the webmaster of that server it is vulnerable to such attacks (which included showing source code) and I actually ended up getting a full tour of the server room at my school. Talk about geeky bonus!
Besides, it's better that you tell them anyway because if its a web based exploit and you did all the work from your dorm room, then they have logs showing your IP trying things anyway.
Actually, I like that it makes front page, it's just that much less reason to have not patched your system. I had no idea this had come out with out slashdot. Then again, I do live by if it's on slashdot, it must be true!
I bet a similar survey asking people what cylinder, piston, carborator, camshaft, calliper, etc. would yield the same results
Not really because nobody sells computers by telling what's inside a CPU. Nobody talks about registers and other crap in a CPU, they just say it has a 2Ghz CPU or about 2000 Mhz and that bigger numbers are better. Same thing in a car, most people want to be sold a car with an 8 cylinder engine because it must be better than a 4 cylinder. Even though that's not always true for CPUs (AMD until recently) and cars (check out the 4 cylinder powered Impreza WRX, it'll spank most stock V8 cars).
The point is, most people don't know anything about computers or cars, they just want to have something better than the next guy (think CDW commercial)

not trying to be an ass but I'm really curious, what's so bad with PS/2?
I honestly rearrange files whilst in the windows file picker. Don't assume everyone works like you, bonehead.
