I would use the Enterprise editions (AS and ES) for the servers and RH 9 on the desktops. This is if you are going to stick with RH. One other posibility is RH WS on the desktops of people who have a higher IT requirement.
There's nothing wrong with keeping RH as the linux distro but, also nothing that says you can't use another one. One thing we have found is that for configuration management it is best to pick one distro and stick with it. Yes, linux is Linux but support is still an issue so the fewer differences between OS builds the easier it is.
Side Point: Yes the sale guy is trying to sell you the more expensive solution but it is, never the less, a good technical stratigy.
Before putting RBLs into use spamassassin was catching between 50 and 80 spam a day. After the RBLs were made active it traps 5 or 6 a day. I hadn't put them in because I was worried about the high number of false entries but as long as I don't use ORBS things seem to work fine.
Could someone put together something with all the best info and comments that could be put up and used? I have found that trying to use any kind of technical argument/reasoning just doesn't work with the PHB's. They want answers to questions that have no bering on the issue or situation yet the answers to these questions are what makes or breaks the fielding of Software Libre solutions.
But on the aspects of cooperation between Software Libre projects, the reasons are fairly dead-on. It's not easy to cooperate with someone when you aren't forced to. Hell, I can't even cooperate with myself somedays.
Microsoft has spent millions of dollars on focus groups to have ordinary Joes and Janes sit down and play with Windows, telling them what's good and bad, from a user's perspective.
Yeah, then they did the opposite of everything the focus groups recommended...
Just for grins I tried comparlng the Mini-ITX with this in similar HW configurations and they ended up costing about the same. The Mini was a hair lower but still in the same ballpark.
Here is what I sent to them in their feedback form....

I do not understand why you are pursuing these blatantly insane legal shenanigans. As a SCO stock holder, I do not feel that your present actions are in the best interest of me, my shares or the Linux world in general. I originally purchased $4500 worth of stock at the IPO and had intended to keep this stock for the long haul, even though it is now nearly worthless. But if you insist in your attempts to harm the Linux and, by association, the IT/IS world I will have to dump my shares.
I had great hopes for Caldera. I go back far enough to remember when it first started up; when the name changed from Corsair to Caldera; I helped friends with recommendation to use Caldera Linux and even helped a friend get a job there. Now, it seems like you are doing everything you can to kill Linux, UnixWare & SCO Unix. It is a shame.

In late 2001 my brother weighed 338 and decided he wanted to lose some tonnage. What he did was so simple; eat less, move more. He didn't change his diet very much, just smaller portions and more water. He walked more and did a little exercise, like stationary bike or tredmill every once-and-a-while. He did this (and is still doing it) and after 6 or 8 months was down to 253 and has been staying there since. I tried it for 6 months last year and went from 250 to 228 in 4 months. Unfortunatelly I fell off the plan and am now back up to 242. I'll have to get back to it one of these days. We wish we could get my other brother to try something... He's somewhere in the 450 range.
The issues of how the search engines can be used for illicit and illegal purposes. Is it moral to keep all this data and not be responcible for what can be done with it. Also, the moral issues of blacklisting specific data by not making it available.
Because mathmatics is so integrated into programming people (including programmers) tend to believe it falls into the "hard" sciences. However, programming is closer to the arts than the sciences. There's more in common with painting than bridg building. Hacking at it's greatest is akin to W.A. Motzart than H. Ford.
There's such a big push for Intelectual Property and all the other DRM/DMCA which makes bits and bytes property. Yet, when it becomes expensive or effort filled, the same organizations that are fighting for those IP rights then decide that there's no tangable good.
My first "real" job was as a Computer Operator in 1982. We had an IBM 4331, which was later upgraded to a 4341, and it was just...
feed the punch cards in one end
mount some tapes
change the paper in the bigass 1401 band printer
collect the cards from the other end
it's Miller time.
In all honesty it wasn't as bad as it sounds because back then the single most important person in the Data Center were the Operators. If you tweeked us off, Hell would freeze over before we'd submit your job. If you were extra nice you might even get your stuff run with the same priority as the normal production jobs.
You know, I used to be able to read a punch card just by looking at the holes. It's was a lob time ago but I still remember the fun times.
Anyone remember (or know) what the weight of the D engine is? It's been 25 years since I was into model rockets but with this sillyness coming I think I'll have to get back into it.
Both GNOME and KDE suck wind. Arguing one over the other is like arguing wich is better, a broken leg or a broken arm.
CDE is even better than either of them. If you want something that really works look at Xfce. The current "production" version is xfce3 and it can do everything KDE & GNOME can do, and much more. It also is very nice on system resources. It runs as light as BlackBox or IceWM and is just as fast. And the development version of xfce4 will blow your mind. It'll make you cry it's so good.
The fact is that GNOME and KDE are, functionaly and from a usability standpoint, damn near identical. Under the hood they are vastly different but for a regular user they are interchangable. Bluecurve proved that.
In high school I was both a "Freak" and a "Jock". I played Football all four years & ran track the last three. My senior year I started in football (second team all-conference) and nearly made it to the regionals in track (I got very sick the week of the meet). Our school won the championship in both sports. That said, I was definitely on the outside. All through grade school I was one of the kids who was beat up and shoved in lockers nearly every day. This carried into high school but faded as I moved up in football and track. Not that I shifted my position; I was just as much an outsider as I ever was. But I earned the respect of the "in crowd" in that I could kick ass on the football field. This was back in the 70's. Things are different now but the feelings, the pain, the glory... They are the same as they ever were. Looking back now I can see how much different I was then. But that guy is still inside of me; still a part of me. I know how it feels to be different. Right now I'm still different (nothing makes you more different than being physically crippled). But it's not as bad as it used to be. The most difficult time in life in from 12 to 20. You will endure more in those few years than you will the rest of your life. I wish more effort was put into helping kids at this time. Because, if you look at it objectivly, every kid is an outsider during those years. There is no in crowd. Not even the in crowd is part of the in crowd.
This has just been a stream of concious kinda thing. Maybe I'll take some time and make it into a real, intelligable op-ed thing. Probably just post it on my K5 diary.
I started in the field as a Computer Operator feeding punch cards into an IBM 4331 Mainframe (which was probably about as powerfull as a 386) in '82. I moved up to developer then to sysadmin before retiring on disability in '99. Since then I have worked part-time as a programmer and security engineer, because the disability retirement pay is no where near enough to live on. In 25 more years I will reach "manditory retirement" age. If I live that long I will be officially retired from the field. So far I have been able to remain a techie and it is my hope that I never find myself in a managerial roll.

What would you use instead of PHP/MySQL? I'm honestly interested in what people use and any technical reasons why they use them.

Just something that comes to mind.
Hey CT, how many times is this going to be posted? I know it's 4/1 but there's what, four posts so far? I half wish the RFC was real.

SAPDB is there. Just need the rest.
The site is already /.'ed. So does that make /. the bigest virtual distributed fly swatter in the world?

Psudo-serious: "Do not go out with that girl your senior year in HS! She will ruin the next ten years for you WRT women."
