All of these package systems suck. Crashes and library hell are part of price we pay to avoid compiling from source. I upgraded a Dapper Ubuntu kernel the other day and my system wouldn't reboot. It was totally hosed and I had to reinstall. Ho hum. I installed Winbind yesterday and it crashed on start. I see others posting the same problem on the Ubuntu list with no solution. Oh well. I simply compiled Samba from source and it worked fine. Am I giving up Ubuntu? No, I'll stick with it. Building and maintaining a server isn't easy. IT takes work and foresight. And I'd say making Linux (obviously built to be a server) into a desktop is even harder. It takes the patience of Job.
Am I the only person who thinks the DVD media delivery is a waste? How many server boxes do you have with DVD capabilty? Almost none of mine have it. And definitely none of my test boxes do. To me this is bloat.
My thoughts exactly. Just to add, Microsoft is better off "sneaking" its products into a market rather than taking over instantly. They take a few small losses up front, but blow the competition away later. Let's face it, the markets they are entering are fairly mature and humdrum. A media player? A game box? Old technology re-wrapped. There is time to burn.
One more thing and I've posted this before. The SMTP protocol needs to be expanded to require key exchange and encryption before an email is accepted. That would make it SMTPS. This would take of a LOT of spam and also take care of the plain text problem.
We receive tens of thousands of spams per day, but practically none gets through our gateway with CPU mostly idle!
In this order.... 1) Greylist with Mysql 2) Autonomous System Number (ASN) filtering 2) Spamcop 3) Spamassassin with lots of custom rules 4) A variety of custom rules to meet current challenges
The above may be implemented with Exim or Postfix. Did it require some knowledge to set up? Yes. Does it require monitoring? Yes. Is it worth it? Yes.
Add TLS to the SMTP protocol. Force the sending server to encrypt with a certificate. This will not only eliminate 60% of all spam but most viruses. And it would solve the clear text issue. And it is a commonly accepted method. Sure it would add overhead, but would be well worth the cost.
Try pressing the Shift key when Adobe starts. Adobe is slow because it loads a million modules that mostly noone needs. Also it does some kind of checksum thing related to the possibility that the document might be signed. So disable this in Preferences. Why do software developers shoot themselves in the foot?
We implemented greylisting. It is the answer. I watch as tens of thousands of emails per day are bounced away into oblivion. At first, ham had to wait a a while, but now that the database is built, no one waits anymore. Not only that, server CPU is neglible because Spamassassin doesn't run on resent mail that has been marked as ham. Combine this with a few scripts that do some basic purging of spam addresses from the database, and we're good to go. Let's not reinvent the wheel. Why don't we just build greylisting right into the SMTP protocol? And while we're at it, let's build encryption in too -- feeling challenged?
Ubuntu brings the OS to the computer while Google brings Ubuntu to the browser. Yes, that's the difference. The whole OS is browser-based. The user has a long list of programs from which to choose and they all run from what looks like a desktop through the browser. The user never even has to close the browser again to look at windows again.
Instead of developing a variety of crappy cpu-HOGGISH software for the desktop, Google needs to develop a very fast very efficient remote desktop protocol for it's own hosted desktop. That way they have complete control and users never bother with Windows except to boot up the machine -- or maybe Google's remote desktop client can boot the machine also.

Win 95/98 had a way in the registrytoonlyallowcertain programs to be run. The trouble is that ANY program on the list would be allowed to run including those that changed their names to one of theoneson the list!
Now enter Cisco. Cisco has aproduct which probably was purchased (not developed in house) that does exactly what you are saying in a much more sophisticated way. It even lets the program run to see what it will do then stops it before it can do it.
Sorry. I'm bad with names.But you can look it up your self.
You MUST be a paid M$ hack posting absurdly ridiculous anti-M$ stuff. Do you really think a 486 can serve 30 users on a 486? I'm a 100% Linux admin and I would never contemplate such a thing for a minute.
Build a lightweight VPN server into every router, such as Openvpn which uses TLS/HMAC and RSA keys. The router could easily generate and distribute the keys (over the wire) for wireless encapsulation.

Sometimes I think it won't be missed. I have no DVD anything. I'll have to go out and buy one.

Who needs to let UDP out anyway? We have DNS server. We have a proxy server. As a matter of fact we let nothing out.

Well, you may be ballpark right about the time frame for porting, but the sad part is that even after that time Sun will be no better for it.
IBM will buy Apple to stop it. This upsets the apple cart -- so to speak -- a bit too much for the entrenched players.

You mean like describing the disgusting source of the meat products you love?
You mean like the animals that we are breeding for your food that require more antibiotics than ever before?
But how warehouse-grown meat stokes up your appetite?

Close. Only the wireless traffic need be encrypted.

I would think that all of those MS lovers out there would be rooting for Linux. Linux getting better makes MS strive to be better. Isn't this obvious?
The same logic would apply to Mac -- in a big way. MS must look at Mac on Intel and think, "Buddy, we'd better make some big improvements."
So how do you limit access to the device?
The answer is to use RSA signed keys that limit connection on a per device basis similar to Openvpn TLS security TLS. http://openvpn.net/security.html
Seems simple to me.
