  1. Re:Enlightenment on 2 Displays and 2 Workspaces With Linux and X? · · Score: 1

    I've used enlightenment 17 for many years now and been very happy with it. I use 4 monitors, all with different 'screens', but can make windows stretch across all of them when needed. I use the fake-xinerama options on startup to split up the screens presented by the nvidia driver into subscreens.

  2. Re:Scale on Building a Massive Single Volume Storage Solution? · · Score: 1

    Lustre is not VERY expensive. It is still a GPL'ed product. Cluster file systems sells support for the file system, and along with that you can get the very latest release. If you want free you are 6 months to year behind. You can get the latest code and a few hours of design consultation for $5k. I run a filesystem with over 300TB right now on lustre, and we do pay a little for support. But it can be done completely free.

  3. Just let Gmail supply it on OSS Web-based File Management? · · Score: 1

    There are a few implementations of Google Mail filesystems. Here is one http://pgd.sourceforge.net/ that is all webbased. Install it and let google handle the space issues.

  4. Re:Fraud? on Did SCO Actually Buy What it Thought? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Boy if that wasnt the worst generalization of momonisim ive ever seen. Juste because someone is a member of a chuch does not in any way mean that thier actions are necessarily good, or that they believe everything the do is good. _Any_ christian can commit murder, lie, cheat, or steal. just becasue they once made the attempt to better themselfs does _NOT_ make them perfect.

  5. Annoying security leads to circumvention on Real Security? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    In my case my employer added a re-curring RSA security key to read the outlook webmail, as i have been using evolution for, externally on my laptop for some time this rendered evolution useless, because it did not understand the promts for RSA keys. Then even if i use a web brwser i have to re-login every Hour. Really Annoying.

    So a simple ssh tunnel into a work machine, and a modified transparent proxy setup(I had the GPL'ed source), and an iptables rule, and wow the webmail server always thinks i'm inside the firewall.

    so while i'm doing the forward securely with ssh, they just annoyed me and i worked around it.

  6. Re:Evolution connector on Open Source Microsoft Exchange Replacements? · · Score: 1

    Ok, But it really talks to the Webmail interface of exchange server, using WebDAV, which should be sniffable very easilly. so someone with enough time could find out exactly what they are doing...

  7. You totally left out... on Distributed Filesystems for Linux? · · Score: 1

    Lustre which grew out of the Intermezzo/Coda projects. It was designed from the ground up as a scaleable ditributed filesystem. I would give a single mount point for a set of aggregated storage. In our clustered system it has been show to be able to write greater than 2 GB/s to disk. Lustre may be a little overkill for a home system, but for clusters, it works great.

  8. Re:BITTORRENT LINK PLEASE! on Star Trek - Elite Force 2 Demo Out Now · · Score: 1

    Shouldent we require a bittorrent link before story subbmission!!!

  9. How come they ignored... on Linuxfest Northwest · · Score: 1

    The largest Linux supercomputer group in the NorthWest, and in the World. Which is located Less than 5 hours away from Bellingham, in southeastern Wasington at PNNL. I have not heard of any invitation to present at Linuxfest. Seems like this is a great thing to be shown/talked about at LinuxFest Northwest....

  10. Re:Can we leech of Windows? on Configuring Monitors in X · · Score: 3

    I put up a web site a while back doing just This. I wrote a little perl scripte to suck the timings out of the WIndows INF files and dump them in a database. I had a lot of response to it initially, but my connection was slow, and I moved since then. I can provide information about it to people, or if someone has web space to donate I can put it back up(I need a Postgress DB and a perl interpeter).
