I thought I could solve this problem with a $5 patch cable from my Sound Blaster Live into my stereo system. Little did I know I really needed to spend $300 on this killer audio system component instead.
I also appreciate that there's a convenient link where I can buy this device on one of Slashdot's main advertisers. That sure is a helpful coincidence.
Here in Phoenix, we've been searching for 3 months for a basic Sun/Solaris/Veritas/EMC admin with half an ounce of talent. No luck!
Then again, anybody who's not bright enough to move out of the most expensive area in the country with the worst technology layoffs and lower their standards slightly to get a job, I wouldn't want working on my stuff anyway.
Hell, I'd probably even stoop to becoming a Windows admin if it meant putting food on my plate!:)
Download UCD-SNMP. It's got a lot of the kstat stuff already in it. I use it an MRTG to graph just about everything worth graphing on my Solaris boxen.:)
I run 7 and 8 on about a hundred machines in a production environment. They're easily as rock solid as 2.6. Quite frankly, I can't imagine what you're doing to screw it up. It's pretty hard to screw up Solaris.
Sorry, I disagree. The person with a personality and a brain get listened to. Perhaps if you conclude the best dressed person gets listened to, it's because the geeks in t-shirts are too afraid to speak, are acting like bafoons, or just have nothing to contribute.
Forget trucks, Railroads are where it's at. Trains are orders of magnitude more efficient than trucking. Unfortunately, obviously railroads are dependent on trucking for the "last mile" delivery, and the trucking unions have entrenched themselves so that they either get an artificially enormous percentage of long haul traffic or nothing gets moved on the short haul, and thus railroads are ignored and we get to deal with the excessive pollution, deadly accidents, and torn up highways repaired at our expense.
Whenever I try with xinerama (which works fine with CDE... gag), dt attempts to launch sawfish (or twm) and I never even get the Gnome startup screen, it just dumps back to dt.
Please... Solaris x86 is no less secure than FreeBSD or Linux. Besides, if you're dumb enough to run a webfarm without any sort of protection (ahem FIREWALL) or intrusion detection, you deserve what you'll get.
I run a pretty large web farm on Solaris x86. Since we run Java, there's no comparison in performance to anything else out there. Especially because when we started, your choice of usable JVMs was Windows, Solaris Sparc, or Solaris x86.

You're right. Die like sheep instead.
Guns = Bad, unconditionally, of course.
Arm the friggen pilots, not the attendants!

That behavior is expected, though, since sawfish does not support multiple heads. I was REALLY hoping xinerama would work. :(

Solaris is free up to 8 cpus.
