Why. Same pay for the same work. Just why should my pay or benefits have anything to do with being a member of some group. How would you feel if they paid me more because I wasn't a member of a Union? Imagine if they paid me more just because I was a member of a certain church or club. If the Union is so good then I will want to be a member. What the Unions don't want the government to not bust them. They want special treatment from the government.
Well if you install Ubuntu server or CentOS then you have the option to do just a server install. No X, Gnome, Bluetooth, DBus or other fluff. FreeNAS and OpenFiler are NAS specific distos so they are already stripped down and pretty dang light. So that combined with a custom box is pretty much a NAS unit. The key thing here is that he really cares about performance. You must pay for performance. The thing is that there are two ways to pay. Money or time. Putting together a NAS box will take a little time but depending on how much free time he has at work it will be cheaper than buying a high end NAS box.
As long as I have the right to NOT join a union I am fine with them. When it is mandatory that I must join a union to work someplace then you are taking away my rights.
Ummm... You haven't see FreeNas or OpenFiler have you. They are actually very robust and complete. Plus for a NAS once you set it up you not going to do a lot of reconfiguring or adding packages. With OpenFiler you may want to run YUM every now and again to get the latest updates but even that is optional.
Maybe but AMDs 780G chipset combined with one of the BE cpus will give have a pretty low power draw. Setup the power management and it will not be much more than 40 watts ideal. The key thing here is most NAS boxes will come no where near saturating a GigE connection. If you need the power you need the power. If not then yes a NAS box might be a better choice.
FreeNAS or OpenFiler on a PC with a raid controller and GigE should work. It might even be cheaper than a NAS box. As to OS/X support. I thought OS/X supported Windows networks out of the box. Odds are very good that if it supports Windows OS/X will work.

64-Bit Java For Linux

· Score: 1
What? I have written several Java programs. I have only had that happen once and it was because I did a really sloppy hack.
The problem with Java is that it is really easy to write a bad program that works. That and people think java is slow. Applets can be very good but they got a bad name thanks to people using them for things like hover buttons. There are some very good Java programs out there like JEdit, Netbeans, and Eclipse. Java FX could be a good replacement for Flash and Moonlight.
You using X.org? Have you stripped out any Novell code from the Kernel? Did Banshee, FSpot? So you don't use OpenSuse. I happen to like Unbuntu myself but that has nothing to do with the Microsoft deal. OpenSuse is a good system from what I have seen, We use it in our office because that is what our sysadmin likes.
Riled up? It shouldn't even do that. He likes Gnome better. So what so do I but I can use KDE just fine and I don't hate it. Just blah... Not Jeremy Allison's fault at all. It was just a really bad interview. He his answers where fine it was the questions that sucked.
Actually there are some projects now starting to work on the exchange protocol. Samba 4 is currently under development. I just want more meat out of a front page slashstory than two pages that just sort of touch on Novell politics and and why somebody likes Gnome over KDE. Like the future of Samba and the future of FOSS solutions replacing Microsoft network services.
Okay Maybe I am just a bit strange but I don't see that much difference between the two. I tend to use Gnome on my desktop because I have settled on Ubuntu and I find Ubuntu has a more finished feel than Kubuntu. I have not tried out KDE4 yet. The simple fact is that I can get my work done on XP, Vista, Gnome, or KDE. I can move between them all without much effort. Now Compwiz does make a real difference for me as far as ease of use. I love it and it really works well for me.
Okay next to nothing about Samba 4, AD, or how about the potental for better integration with and possible replacing of Exchange now that the protocol have been documented and released?
Why not archive quality DVDs? They are more expensive then standard DVDs but cheaper then SD cards. Make copies just to be sure. http://www.mediasupply.com/mamgold.html
That is why you wouldn't let the kid source the CDs. If the teacher decided that giving out the CDs was a good thing then she would source them herself. Or to be safe not let the kid give them out in class at all. Did the teacher over react? Yes she could have handled it better. Did the blogger over react? Yes just as much if not more so since the teacher didn't put it out for public consumption.
Let me fill you in on some wisdom that you must have missed in third grade. Two wrongs don't make a right. Or a better way of putting it is. Do nothing that doesn't help.
He also made some stupid allegations with NO PROOF! And the took his little flame fest to a group that he knew would support him to stroke his own ego. So no his original post was childish and inflammatory.
Yea and I am sure the parents when they found out wouldn't be screaming for her head if some kid had handed out CDs of porn in her classroom and she did nothing to stop it. On and the RIAA and MPAA wouldn't have sued the school for millions of dollars. It is NOT ok to distribute media to your classmates in class with out the teachers permission.
Not at all. It is obvious was annoyed at a child disrupting class. The class wasn't about using Linux . The kid was being disruptive and was passing out CDs he got from some guy to the kids in class. The correct way for the kid to have handled it was to ask the teacher if he could do a demonstration in class about Linux and then give all the members of the class CDs.
wouldn't the built in broadband chip be a bigger danger? Turning off a notebook is one thing. Reading off the data is another. I mean if you are going to worry something. Broadband chip plus GPS? Shutting it down would be the last thing I would worry about.
"Helios was perfectly in the right to flame back" Why? He made up allegations that her union was in the pay of Microsoft and that is why she was bashing Linux....
Not only that we have no real idea what the kid told her or how he acted. Simple truth is that flaming is almost never justified because it does not good. It is simply playing the choir. Had he first asked to speak to her before flaming her and then launching a flame war on his blog things might have been a lot more civil. Of course his actions got him a lot of attention from the Linux faithful. Playing to the choir.
"She didn't know what was on those disks he was handing out. It could have been porn, viral.exe's...any number of things for all she knew. When she heard that an adult had given him some of the disks to hand out, her spidey-senses started tingling. Coupled with the fact that she truly was ignorant of honest-to-goodness Free Software, and you have some fairly impressive conclusion-jumping.
This is a good point, and I actually think a reasonable teacher may have reasonably been worried about what was going on. Even one who actually had a basic tech background." And even if she was told by the student that it was a free Linux distro and she knew what it was should she have believed him? If so what a great way to safely had your buds a disk of pirated MP3s, porn, or movies. Just make an ISO of DSL that also contains the other data, burn it DVD or CDR and hand them out. Heck you could use Puppy and remaster it as a Live look DVD/CD.
Why this is Slashdot? The I actually posted that I thought that the student was probably being disruptive because I couldn't see any way to demo an OS in a classroom and hand out CDs without being disruptive.
The key thing is if how much better if both sides had talked and not screamed. Equal blame and what could have been a great moment for FOSS education could have been a serious black eye. Thank goodness it turned out ok.
I have to agree. The PS3 can run Linux. Put Linux on it, OpenOffice, FireFox and few other apps and you have a good enough PC. The one thing lacking is Flash. The PS3, Wii, or if Microsoft chooses the XBox could be the new C64. The problem really is having to reboot is one downside. Of course that doesn't have to be the case.

Would work great with FreeNAS. As to using it as a Wireless router? I am not sure about that.

I have to admit that I have thought that a Solaris based FreeNAS or OpenFiler could be very interesting.
Ummm... You haven't see FreeNas or OpenFiler have you.
They are actually very robust and complete. Plus for a NAS once you set it up you not going to do a lot of reconfiguring or adding packages. With OpenFiler you may want to run YUM every now and again to get the latest updates but even that is optional.
