Sun sells OEM mobos that can run Solaris, and there are a few manufacturers out there, though I think Axil is gone.. Fujitsu builds some enterprise-class sparc systems, and I worked on a system built by a japanese or korean company (forget which) that was just an AXi base IIRC.. Also, Integrix builds OEM systems, though I've only used their pizza-box RAIDs before..
You might be able to build your own, but these days finding a 250 or 450 on ebay may be cheaper...
Citibank has a history of flaking in and out with Mozilla on Linux and OSX in my experience, but with their latest revision it seems to play fairly nicely with Chimera, even via Junkbuster! The NYTimes site crashes Chimera more than Citibank does, but I just love its brushed metal skin..
BTW, you may want to install Junkbuster and fiddle with your useragent settings..
The problem with putting a Linux box in production, we have platinum support from Sun. Every server is a sun box, and its standardized for backup, database and clustering. If we put a Linux box, it has to run it on sparc hardware, and we have to have special procedures just for this one box.
Perhaps the LX50 would be an option then? Sun may not like the idea of it running a "core" service as opposed to an "edge" service, but these days they gotta sell SOMETHING.. I assume with Platinum support you don't bother worrying about things like spares, in-house sysadmin troubleshooting, etc.. What's the point?
Of course, without a systems geek in the house causing trouble and looking at things differently, you don't get the benefit of new concepts and possibilities from a systems geek angle, but who needs them these days?
(ps, anyone else think sun's favicon.ico is totally lame?)
... GOP "family values" folks have hated the entertainment industry for AGES.. Talk about strange bedfellows, though the libertarian streak thru geekdom (with which I sympathize, though not always agree) is definitely in line with old-school conservatism..
... Just run your 32-bit stuff at 1.8GHz, and whine for the recompiles..
if&when this happens it'll be HUGE.. Let's have at least multichannel DDR400 though please Apple!!! Mmmm.. 8 channels of DDR400.. The mobo'd be like 3cm thick;)
Back about 10 years ago when I was a total MST3k junkie TiVo would have been indispensable, but nowadays there's really nothing worth watching that isn't repeated several times during the week, or isn't (or won't) be available unedited, uncommercialed, and in Dolby Digital 5.1 on DVD..
Case in point: Sopranos. Hell, I don't even NEED HBO anymore except that it comes so cheap with digital cable + cable modem.. Sopranos on DVD, Babylon 5 on DVD soon, Simpsons on DVD.. What the hell else is there worth watching that isn't going to be on DVD at some point? POSSIBLY 'Aqua Teen Hunger Force' and the other twisted Adult Swim stuff on Cartoon Network, but that whole block will fit comfortably on a single T120..
I haven't even plugged my VCR into my cable box since I moved into my new flat over a year ago. The only tape I've played in that time was the MST3k Rhino 'Mitchell' video. Oh, and IIRC _that_ is on DVD too!!
DVD won't kill TiVo or VHS. Crap network content will.
The problem is, clueless user doesn't contact cheapbytes for support, they contact redhat. If there's enough clueless users, it becomes a pr and support hassle for redhat, which they really don't deserve.
I agree it's not the best of situations, but when you have enough bad apples abusing the barrel, what else can you do? AFAICR RH still offers iso downloads, which are fine for me (broadband + burner) and for the non-clueless-user who doesn't have the bandwidth, time or equipment to do isos themselves there's always debian...
So this is all about the Shadow Man and RPM logos. According to the license, you can still redistribute red hat in its entirety, provided you don't make any money off of the redistribution. If you do want to redistribute Red Hat in a commercial fashion, however, you're permitted to do so "only when all of the Marks have been removed or replaced within the Packages."
Looks like a good compromise to me.
Absolutely. I totally sympathize with the idea that 'knockoff' RedHat distros could be confused with RH, and RH would then get egg on their face both from the bad knockoff and from either a) customer not getting support and having a bad feeling about linux and/or RH, or b) redhat supporting knockoff distros to keep their own rep clear.
If you're going to distribute a RH-based distro it is absolutely appropriate and proper to completely disassociate it from RH, and IMHO RH is absolutely in the right to demand it.
What use is a trademark or logo if someone tarnishes or besmirches it and the holder is entirely innocent of fault? In software, you're only as good as people think your last release was..
No issue to see here people, please move along....
The server would definitely be RedHat -- It's just something that RedHat is better for.
I disagree.
Mandrake optimizes its RPMs for i586 and up, supports most if not all of the same server software as RedHat, and has a more useful 'lockdown' mechanism in msec.
I've installed Mandrake on my last 8-9 linux _servers_ (including firewalls) and I've been very happy with both the security and package selection.
While RedHat may offer better availability features on its higher-end products (RH advanced for $1495/server) and many vendors only support RedHat for their proprietary wares (oracle requiring AS is a particular PITA), for many other server uses Mandrake is a better choice than RedHat. As a dev server for apps not requiring RH availability/compatibility features, I find it's indispensible.
Don't even get me started on up2date vs. MandrakeUpdate..
.... particularly with enigmail, the integrated gpg plugin. It doesn't get virused, works on all my favorite platforms, can handle 8-10 mail/news accounts swimmingly, handles html mail better then LookOut, and fires off browser links in moz. And it looks GREAT in OS X.
All these 'lean and mean' moz-based browsers are neat, I suppose, but I continue to use, and like, mail/news..
Smells like a slashdot for pointy-haired "IT" people..

Check the linux/m68k page if you're thinking of putting linux on this, installing a null-modem adapter on the serial port, and having a remotely-addressable picture frame. 68LC040s are VERY FLAKY, and the 280c is one of the first using this cpu.
The 270c, same cpu speed but 68030, has a built-in FPU (68LC040 FPU emulation can lock the cpu)
Also, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but there are many free video players out there.. The problem is that later Quicktime codec aren't open. To create a quicktime-enabled player would mean to reverse engineer the codecs, or to use Windows codecs. It's not the interface that we care about, it's the ability to view quicktime (insert version here) movies on our platform of choice.
How about MPEG4? Linux can play that... and QT6 now uses MPEG4..
When Sorensen goes away things will be more friendly..
(I had the original paddle/skateboard which I gave to my bro after I bought the squatter stereo version.. Warbirds, Bill & Ted, Klax.. Oh man...)
I got to play lynx'd warbirds with one other person (you could have 4 connected iirc) one time, it was DEFINITELY cool.. IIRC also the catlynx connection could support over 16 players, if you could find long enough cables;)
Oh, and you DEFINITELY needed lithium batteries. Rechargables are more economical, but lithiums are much lighter.. very necessary in a handheld..
Iron Soldier and the original Aliens vs. Predator are STILL serious favorites of mine.. (as is T2k...)
ObNOS: I'd be ecstatic with just paperwhite contrast, and color would be "gilding the lily".. Obviously, color could handle gradations of priority, age, contrasting functionality, selections, etc.. AND color would make the browsing experience pretty much complete..
The concept that RedHat could wield even a whisper of monopoly power that M$ does is a total fiction, trumped up by losers. Why? RedHat IS NOT A MONOPOLY.
I think it's a good thing that software vendors balk at using RedHat as their supported platform, and more of them should take the extra time to certify against a number of linux variants. Consumers should absolutely demand it.
I haven't seen a whole lot from RedHat that is provocative or bad-spirited. While I use Mandrake pretty much exclusively now, I don't have anything against RH, except that they don't optimize for i686 and up, don't have as many neat toys and gui thingys as Mandrake, and Linuxconf still sucks.
Are there catalysts to take care of that? Yep Will they work with US diesel, which is higher in sulfur than what Europeans buy? Nope:/
How do direct-injection diesels get the relatively low-soot performance that they do?
IIRC it is via very high (over 10kPSI) injection pressure, which atomizes the fuel more finely than prechambered diesels, leading to more combustion efficiency (fuel efficiency and reduced particulates)..
