  1. Re:75% servers without Distro name... on Debian Fastest-Growing Distro, Says Netcraft · · Score: 1

    Well, I completely agree with you on that, but usually I think it's worth the effort to upgrade the package, since if you don't do that you find yourself again on a situation where your distro is vulnerable and there's no way out except for a bigass upgrade...

    And if you have enough IT workforce and automated monitoring... either solution is right for me

  2. Re:75% servers without Distro name... on Debian Fastest-Growing Distro, Says Netcraft · · Score: 1

    I've upgraded one of the servers from a continent away

    apt-get for rpm is really a blessing :)

    Well... it's supposed that Fedora will end up with that, it'll be more Debianized in that way, the updates will come along more easily... I hope!

  3. Re:75% servers without Distro name... on Debian Fastest-Growing Distro, Says Netcraft · · Score: 4, Informative

    this untested hobby distro (fedora) that requires a complete re-install anyway

    That's quite a trolling from your part.

    I have installed Fedora on my RedHat 7.3 machines using apt-get (for rpm) and only in 1 reboot, so it doesn't require a full reinstallation.

    And also Fedora is the evolution from RedHat 9, even if it have bugs (as all distros) it's stable and ready for production.

  4. That's good, but... on USPS Providing Electronic Postmarks · · Score: 1

    Now if USPS would get electronic efficiency, that would be quite a good new feature!!!!

  9. Re:The problem is that there are no big cities nea on Spain, Morocco To Build Undersea Rail Tunnels · · Score: 1

    This tunnel would help out the people transit between the two countries, Spain is used every year as launch point for lots of north-africans that go back to their home for summer vacation, and the ferries are quiet plenty that times (some times they can't even stand all the traffic generated) so it would relieve all of this and help out the economy of south of Spain.
    It would also help to deliver all Morrocco goods to Europe since right now it have to be done thru air or ship it thru the sea (both of them slow or expensive) so now a lot of railroad commercial traffic will be generated to import goods from morrocco. That means a boost for both countries economical relationship, and the costs of building the tunnel are also fairly cheap since it's a short way.

  11. Re:"Bypassed security" on WSIS Physical Security Cracked · · Score: 1

    Well and I've bypassed American border controls after September 11th with my Spanish passport, and the best thing is that I even didn't want to, they just made me bypass it because there was no contact telephone at my entering visa... and I still keep it since nobody wanted it back, they just told me to keep going.
    So... no country or no place is secure when there is a human that have the final decision to overpass the system at his own will ;)

  13. Finally on XFS Merged into Linux 2.4 · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I've been using XFS in production servers for more than two years already without any problem, it was time that it was merged into 2.4 kernel...

    Maybe this way RedHat begins to support it for their installations

  14. Re:Just imagine .... on Monty Python's Holy Grail goes Broadway · · Score: 1

    You don't frighten us, public pig-dogs! Go and boil your bottoms, sons of silly persons. I blow my nose on you, so-called broadway public, you and your silly American kiniggets.

  15. DNS PTR record required by the RFC draft? on AMTP as an Alternative to SMTP · · Score: 1

    o The Subject of the certificate MUST have a fully-qualified domain name in the Common Name (CN) field that matches the PTR record found by a DNS query of the associated IPv4 address in the IN-ADDR.ARPA zone. Equivalent tests SHALL apply to connections using IPv6 or other non-IPv4 protocols.

    I don't know if this happens to everybody but I have my servers in collocation and the IN-ADDR.ARPA records are controlled by the Collocation Company (in this case MCI Worldcom) and I don't have access to that records so my SMTP server doesn't resolve right when doing a reverse query.

    Maybe it's only my problem but I think that the certificate should be enough check already, PTR records do not always conform to your mail server name.

    I really don't know why you hide behind AC, since it is so well based and explained.

  19. Re:Really the top? on Weta Prepares to Render LOTR: ROTK · · Score: 1

    Well, the Blade servers are really really nice. They can cointain up to 12 servers per blade box, each of them being dual Xeon CPU.
    Considering that each blade server is 6U high that really narrows down the space needed.
    I just want one of those babies for myself! :)

  20. Re:RMS Evangelism == boring on RMS Cuts Through Some SCO FUD · · Score: 1

    I tend to think that Linus is a leader in a really really cooperative way.
    He isn't a leader per se, but he takes the leading of integrating the Linux kernel and gives everyone an opportunity and a choice to expose himself and his ideas, and even after that if he refuses them gives a more than reasonable explanation.
    Let's compare that to the way RMS bashes away the people, let's just look at what happened about .NET between Miguel de Icaza and RMS... I think that is not the right way to do things and does more damage than profit.

  21. Re:RMS Evangelism == boring on RMS Cuts Through Some SCO FUD · · Score: 1

    Of course he deserves some credit, I think nobody wants to take away all the merit he have.
    I personally don't think that this merit makes him appointable to call Linux as GNU/Linux in the first place (even if Debian does).
    Also I think that this last speech was way too much taking Linux on his own field and bashing up Linus, I don't think this kind of speeches makes any favor to any of us.

  22. Re:RMS Evangelism == boring on RMS Cuts Through Some SCO FUD · · Score: 1

    I also thought that in the beggining. But after seeing him owning projects on his own name and on GNU's name (right now I don't remember exactly who and where, I read that on slashdot about 15 days ago I think...) and seeing him try to make all the merits for the Linux position to himself... I really think that he have a really really big ego.
    That doesn't take any merit to all that he have made for the community himself and for all the good things he made. I only think that this time he have gone way too far.

  23. RMS Evangelism == boring on RMS Cuts Through Some SCO FUD · · Score: 2

    I am the only one thinking that RMS anachronism of GNU über alles is beggining to get really really boring?
    C'mon Richard, do yourself a favor and stop trying to get attention all over you and your wonderful GNU, if we could count the packages on a Linux system right now I really doubt that 20% of them would be related directly to GNU.
    GNU GPL license is really great, and I really think that RMS is a great politician/social freedom fighter, but I also think that his ego is bigger than Texas.
    Nothing personal RMS, I just think Linus attitude is really more of a leader than yours.
