Wow, the years have flown by. In the 10 years since I started reading this site, I've had:
-4 Jobs -2 Kids -1 Wife
And yet slashdot has been part of my life all that time, as I still visit several times a week. For me, the lowest point was the W. Richard Stevens debacle, and the high point was the release of the Netscape source code.
Thanks for giving me such a great reason to avoid work!
We're looking for 2 Unix Engineers in St. Louis

Linuxgruven Layoffs
·
· Score: 1
I'm sorry to hear of the layoffs at Linuxgruven. However, our non-dotcom St. Louis based company is growing our Unix environment and we need some help.
My group has just gotten approval to hire a couple of Unix/AIX sysadmins, and I am looking for people with solid Unix skills. (If you're good, we can train you in whatever technology you need to know).
We're part of a large company, and I am introducing lots of Opensource technologies into our architecture. My personal interests lie in Unix security (SSH/Kerberos/LDAP), but we also have Oracle, WebSphere, Java, MQ and clustered systems. If I had the time, I'd also like to roll out PHP and Jabber internally.
Please send me email to steve at borrelli.org and I will see if we can set up an interview.
Piper looks to be pretty heavy duty. How about something simple that is good for day-to-day use? NeXTStep had the built-in services menu, which provided a nice way to act upon clipboard data, whether the user had selected a file, image or text, and you could return any data type back to the caller.
I have fond memories of Scott Hess' excellent TickleServices for NeXTStep.
One of my favorite services was selecting some PGP-signed text and verifying it through the menu.
Easy GNUstep Install for RedHat...

GNUstep 0.6.0
·
· Score: 4
I'd like to congratulate the GNUstep team on the release of 0.6. The libraries have matured to the point that end user apps are starting to come around, and the project seems to be gaining momentum.
I've written a GNUstep Redhat HOWTO that makes it easy to get up and running quickly with GNUstep on your RH box. Try it out and send me your comments!
Well, I am running 16 bit Quicken with a version of Wine from March 1999. I have found that newer vesions made 16 bit support worse but 32 bit support better. Versions of wine after March 1999 tended to crash and burn upon Quicken startup, but this might have changed in the past month with all the progress the Wine team has been making.
Using -managed and -winver win31, I am able to run all the basics and create charts and graphs. Loans and auto-completion work correctly, if slowly. I have not tried the net functionality (don't need it), and I haven't configured wine for printing yet so I don't know if it works.
Of course, I back up every time, but I have not had corrupted data yet, and I use Quicken/Wine several times per week. I even have a Windomaker dock app configured so that my wife can run it easily.
WINE is certainly not useless. I've been running Quicken 6.0 for the past four months via Wine for all of our home finances. Sure, there are rough spots and some missing functionality, but it works fine for us.
Anyway, I just wanted to thank the Wine team for their great work. I do agree with you about the suckitude of Windows command line apps.
I have M7 open right now, and I can say without a doubt that Mozilla is making very nice progress. By M8 or M9 I will be tempted to use it as my only browser.
As has been said by many others here, good portable software takes time. OSS helped the Mozilla team decide to do the right thing--they rebuilt the software on a solid foundation.
Bear in mind that the book is from the summer of 1998 and covers Samba 1.9. Notable changes in 2.0 include the use of of autoconf, better NT domain functionality and the new SWAT Web configuration tool. (And I am unsure of this, but the libdes compilation section might be obsolete now too).
As others have mentioned, the sections on Windows networking alone make the book worthwhile. In addition, I found the section on setting up Samba to use encrypted passwords highly useful. There is also a large section on all of the Samba configuration options.
While much of the book's information is located in the Samba source tree, the information is spread out among dozens of files. Consider the price of this book a small investment to avoid hefty NT client fees.
