Freeradius comes with a SQL module to do authentication and accounting through MySQL, PgSQL, etc. My team uses it quite a lot at my place of employment...we ended up using it to replace a SafeWord installation and everybody has been very happy with it.
You are exactly right, opportunities don't last forever. You must try to help out your friends but you cannot at the cost of your career. If your friends are as talented as you say, then they should have no trouble finding their own opportunities.
A situation similar to this happened to me. I took the new job and yes the company I left folded...but within a month all of my friends that I worked with there had new jobs. In fact several of them work with me at my new job.
There is a thin line between helping your friends out and holding yourself back.
For those that do not understand, Tau Beta Sigma and Kappa Kappa Psi are not social organizations. They are service organizations for college and university band programs. These organizations are the driving force behind many college band programs across the nation.
Just because this person did not like the actions of one chapter does not mean that all chapters are the same. It also does not give this person the reason or the right to post the most important documents of the orgainization.
In case the person that owns the site does not know, what he/she did was also copyright infringement. A person in my chapter has already contacted the national office and they will be contacting the owner of the site soon.
Please people, act like adults and don't take vengence on something that you obviously do not understand.
To the owner of the comment I am replying to, the second half of this reply was not intended directly for you...but I felt I had to let everyone know...
What is the current status of Window Managers for Gnome? Being a current and avid user of GNOME, I use Sawmill because its small size, memory use, and great integration with GNOME. I guess my question really is...is there currently any talk on picking a "default" WM for GNOME. KDE has one, it's called kwm, but with GNOME, some default to E, some to Sawmill, some to gnome-wm(i think?).
I don't know what everyone else's experience has been, but the newest version of E doesn't seem to be as friendly to GNOME as it used to be, by default...It takes over right-click and middle-click menus, thus not allowing me to use the GNOME menus. Now, i know you can configure it, but by default, it doesn't...
So, what is the current status, if any? If so, what are the candidates??
I, myself, must recommend sawmill, it works beautifully with GNOME.
point taken, and a good one at that. Of course, Patrick's other statement also is/very/ true...if he changed the major version as often as some other distros, he would be up to around version 24.
you my friend, are different...if you troll, it is most likely funny, I enjoy that, it breaks the dullness of the world. What I don't like are trolls that go off on some sort of tantrum like a kid that was told he/she couln't have ice cream. The ones that argue back and forth with each other, completely off topic, screaming nothing but obscenities at each other, taking up 4+ pages of browser space.
I, like a lot of people, use this site for information, news, research, or whatever, not to come and read some person that is trying to blame someone else for something that didn't go right in their life...so what, that's life, inconveniences happend and sometimes people have to grow up and accept them.
And, to the AC that wrote the long statement to Rob at the top, we don't all feel that way. When you assume, you make yourself look dumb and you make the community look dumb...if you have something prudent and important to say, at least have the guts to post it non-AC. AC is nothing but a method of hiding, because you're either scared or unsure whether you are true.
Sure, anonymitity is a good thing, but when it is something like this, it accomplishes nothing.
I'll tell you what is about to happen though, someone will come along and read this comment and not agree with me, they will reply to me and probably type a lot of obscenities at me in CAPS, thus starting what I wish to not start. If it does, I cannot blame anyone for myself, for I am a hypocrit(sp?) if it happens. Just remember, that some of us really enjoy the articles and the news; that is why it is called "Slashdot: news for nerds. stuff that matters".
OFF TOPIC: correct me if I am wrong, but wasn't there just a release of the slashdot code??
I don't know, the things that seem to bother this AC don't really bother me...what? there is ONE banner at the top, that's hardly anything compared to most sites this size, or larger.
DISCLAIMER: this is probably troll bait, so before you start, please consider that I do not mean it that way.
Personally, posts from trolls waste my time, I don't troll, much less want to read them, so why cherrish(sp?) them?? I have yet find a troll that anyone, especially Rob should "treasure".
Ehhh, hundreds of files and symlinks, what are you smoking.
I might have to ask you the same question. this is not meant to start a flame war, just to be a little informative.
I can't say anything because I don't know your experience with Slackware, but I have used it since '96.
I'm not really sure what symlinks you are talking about because Slackware doesn't really use them in it's init scripts. RedHat/SuSe/etc seem to use a lot more, especially with the whole init.d symlink thing. Slackware init is very simple:
rc.S - Startup Initialization rc.K - when going into runlevel 1 rc.M - when going into multi-user run levels rc.4 - if you use xdm/gdm/kdm rc.6 - for reboot/halt rc.0 - the ONLY symlink I can find. it points to rc.6 for logical reasons...
rc.inet1 - for bringing up lo and eth0 rc.inet2 - for bringing up services rc.modules - for loading modules rc.local - for anything else you want to start up.
and just for conversion purposes rc.sysvinit - to start any SysV init scripts you might bring with you if you change.
I dunno, but to me this is much more simple than init.d symlink'ing to a bunch of other scripts and having six rcX.d scripts...
btw, that *dialog* based install doesn't require 32MB of RAM for installation like Mandrake and RedHat.
I'm sure however that it is all a matter of opinion:)
yes, the quicklaunch applet fits four(4) launchers in the same area as one of the standard, so called "huge launchers". In case you can't find it, its: right-click on panel->Add Applet->Utility->QuickLaunch.
If QuickLaunch isn't on the list, they you probably don't have it. You can get it her e
I'm guessing that the whole stability thing is different for everyone. The excuse I here most often from KDE users about why they don't use GNOME, is the stability of it compared to KDE. I don't know....I tried KDE out, it was ok, but I didn't really like it. I suppose the desktop environment is directly(not symobilically) linked to the type of user you are. I put Linux on my girlfriends computer and stuck her with Mandrake/KDE, because I found that KDE had more GUI tools that would be better for her to migrate from Win9x. I, on the other hand, being a very much do-it-your-self-er(I use slackware, the "I don't need no steeenkin' GUI to configure my system" distro), prefer gnome. It does have a lot of GUI tools, but just not as many as KDE. I sit Sawmill on top of GNOME, or visa-versa and am very happy.
NOTE: this is NOT meant to be a flame-war starter, just an informative message.
When i first compiled sawmill, I was amazed at the amount of keybindings a user could do. you can do everything from launching just about any program to minimizing/maximizing/shading/hiding/etc... One thing i noticed, that I liked, was the ability not to only be able to bind the "customize" but i could bind each sub-category of "customize" to a different key stroke.
This isn't the only area that sawmill allows binding to sub-categories...many other's are allowed also.
Sawmill even allows bindings to some things i wouldn't have expected to see, like compile, make, and tar. Nevertheless, they're handy and I am happy.
21st on the 7th. woohoo!! Party!! Actually, i think I'll probably be recompiling my kernel or something...Anytime my parents can get me away from school and come home, I'm stuck -- so I'll just compile a bunch of stuff on my 21st birthday...WOW! doesn't that sound like lots of fun!? of course it is.:)
I must agree, most Linux distro's are very SysV'ish, including Debian. Slackware OTOH/is/ the most BSD'ish. Slack 7 even has a file called rc.sysvinit thats inits all the other distro's init.d and rcX.d scripts in case you upgraded from a SysV'ish distro.
As far as stability goes, my experience with both of them over the last 2 years has been that Slackware was more stable compared to Debian, even using Debian's stable tree.
BTW, i use both. I do not use on over the other, but each one does have its advantages and disadvatages over the other. So, this is not meant to be a distro war starter
I have a friend that is a/big/ beta tester for Microsoft. He was showing me what is actually going on. MS will not be able to get W2k out in time so they are releasing another DOS based version, Windows Millenium...which essentially is about as different from win98 as win98 was from win95. Once w2k is released, it will be non-DOS based and there will be a consumer version to replace Millenium
luckily, the startup i am presently employed by as sysadmin hasn't been going long enough for this conversion to be huge, time consuming process. the only worry i have is programs (such as minivend?) supporting PNG. does anyone know if any programs that interact on the server with the browser have any restrictions on the type of images?

gaah, beat me to it!
they turned it into a crappy turned-based game.
don't forget Anno 1701 and Tank Beat. the sequel to Tank Beat is also in the works as well as a Populous game.
X-Com, yes I want that one.
right-click on your menubar, select properties and then
change the number in the 'Size' box. Done! This feature
has been there since 1.x days.
Toolbar size depends on your font size. Go into your
Preferences->Font and change 'Application Font' to
something smaller.
you would be suprised
make that 21, here at work.
Freeradius comes with a SQL module to do authentication and accounting through MySQL, PgSQL, etc. My team uses it quite a lot at my place of employment...we ended up using it to replace a SafeWord installation and everybody has been very happy with it.

We also ended up using phpMyAdmin to administrate the adding/removing of users, groups, & other attributes.

why did they skip three version numbers so people would think that Slackware is newer
Well, if you go to: the FAQ where it talks about just this, you will have your answer.
He did not do it just so it looks "newer".
hehe, i like people with a sense of humor :)

so far, sharkyextreme.com is the only place i've seen benchmarking the p3 over the athlon Mhz vs. Mhz. Every other is the opposite.
so should we base everything on one website's benchmarks?
