Really just use new verion and update system to new stage, up2date works again
* mp3
Thanks god, anyone can install mp3 rpm, but this is just one assurance against another SCO-like FUD MP3 is proprietary not GPL-ed
* exiting the boxed set market
What is good, I've been asking my self for a long time, how it is possible to support that kind, box costs, book costs deployment costs, when there's RHN which is much better than box retail, I preffer better support over book.
* no reiserfs/xfs
XFS you can install, reiser is supported anywhere but instaler by default
* no lvm
Really since when? I use 3*2TB LVM volumes on my servers (one on this machine), but I must imagine that when genius like you says that there's no LVM
* many Advanced Server features not backported to RH9
Yeah, I guess, you need that features on desktop
Now I bring SUSE and OpenBSD.
And I hope you'll enjoy them, I'll stay at RH. By the way where do I download SUSE??? I'm prepared to pay for support but only after I test it fully. (Hell, I lie, I already tested them, THEY SUCK) So bring them and TAKE THEM
Your spare machine is more resistant to drive failure (you don't lose data unless corresponding drives in each machine fail) but you're paying for N * 2 drives (like RAID1) plus another computer and enough bandwidth to keep them in sync.
Yep, I said we already had a major RAID5 failure, once with DAC960 bios and once with one disk to many. There's no way any kind of RAID would be acceptable. N*2+PC is acceptable very cost, if fact is cheaper to buy IDE drives for two LVMs than on SCSI RAID field
Broken controller? Plain IDE only, no more BIOS ones after DAC BIOS problem:) Controller costs how much??? You can easy buy 10 spare of them
Viruses?
I guess they could be a problem, and not. Backup Field is at least 2.5 big so it can cover daily and weekly basis, and not mounted on network, also not mounted on system, util called. Linux server.
If your computers are broken, nothing can save you, certainly not buying more of them.
Well infact you're wrong, I can buy any computer I want and fill the hole. But being prepared on that one spare machine just same as needed is already waiting:)
To conclude, buying 4 PCs with WHOLE LOT of space was WAY cheaper than buying one big server. And after two BIG server failures where's the POINT? Besides I feel much more secure now then those days. And much less careless. And there's also a great option for your backup machine to be powered off and autopower on schedule.
Compaq monitor software. My company bank account app. Our accounting software. that's probably evertything that runs on XP. btw, Complete shop is on Linux.
RAID5 would give me 2/3 of 2TB not 1.75TB, RAID5 contains 2/3 for data and one 1/3 for XOR image.
I never said there's no data protection at all. There's the same volume on the second computer that backs up data in cron in daily basis.
I don't believe in RAID5, second computer and separate volume is much better solution. Thrird backup is on separate location and runs backup on weekends. As we already suffered from more than 1 disk loss and guess what RAID5 meant that time (capital shit).
Secondary RAID5 is not really a secure option without separated backup. If you suffer corruption of controller that goes undetected for day or two, if you suffer virus you momentarily lose data on all drives, etc.
RAID5 might be a good way for preventing data loss but I can afford to loose one disk anytime. Most of the data is already on the second volume and a copy stored on local computers.
Nope, I'm just used to work with comfortable environment. Gnome2 is working like a charm for me, no problems there and as that's my default environment...
I posted that two times already so I"ll do it once more for you.
In Windows icons are either too small or too blury when you select big icons (sorry if I'm more selective than you but I preffer perfection).
Text by default is too small with small fonts, but when you select different sizes most of dialog boxes get screwed
If you select different DPIs some other dialogs and windows sizes get screwed and some fonts don't get resized
Cleartype doesn't work for alll apps, most of them still have old fonts without antialiasing.
I regularly use my Toshiba 5200 with its 15" screen at its native 1600x1200 resolution and I love it. It's extremely "usuable". I would never consider running it at a lower resolution. That display is one of the main reasons I bought it in the first place!
I belive it is "usuable", but I don't believe it's "usable", That kind of display might be usable only for softwares where people mostly use shortcuts and demand higher resolution as Photoshop does. AND I'm glad you're happy as I'm with mine.
Yep, it's true, buttons don't scale. But all it takes is to make MacOSX user to confess the real fact. Well, that's impossible for that kind of humanity.
Setting Cleartype doesn't make all apps use Cleartype
Most apps stays with original non-aliased fonts, I just don't understand how is this possible if Windows has one solution for everything as they say.
That's as far as I can say for that topic. Btw, I'm using XP to connect to my bank account. And notebook has 1400x1050 for 15" which is clearly too small to be usable. My current setting is Normal fonts, 120DPI and Cleartype.
And compared to scaling in Gnome2, I must say XP sucks major
Making extra large fonts already corrupts half of the apps just as setting DPI corrupts few of them.
That kind of solution might work out in some other environment, Windows interface as in widget is just too clumsy to take on that. That was the main reason for switching my own apps from windows.
Ok, I still write windows apps (although I trewat them mainly as linux apps which happen to run on windows too), it's just that I develop them under Linux with GTK which runs fine in all environments and containers provided with gtk make that kind of solution a reality.
As it goes for me I can do that with no pain. Seeing what r4 provides migrating my things to r4 would be good. But first place for beta fs is spare machine that is just used to crash test this filesystem.
C'mon SCO news gets on./ at least two times a day. And yet you blame him for repost???
As for Gartner. Well, they were always preffering M$. And that;s maybe just the fact that M$ can pay more for news like that.
And SCO. Showing evidence, not showing happening trough history??? All analysts that were looking at the evidence said code is the same, no one said that history of evidence was shown. Source can be the same if person A steals code from person B, and in the same time can be equal if person B steals from person A. Who stollen from who? Linux has history of public development and any part of code can be traced to its origin. How about SCO?
1. SCO hasn't shown any proof yet 2. Based on how calmed Linus, Redhat and IBM are, I'd say there's no case. 3. Kernel is all built in public which makes available to track any part of code being added during time. 4. Main SCO's intention is to drag this as forever as possible, without actions, just blufffing 5. America is the only place where is possible to license something during legal dispute of that something (same as thief got caught stealing in shop, bought items during trial got freed and then sued shop for false alligations), I really don't understand how it is possible to license something that isn't yours. It's just like I would buy Dell, place some card in it, copyrighted my product and sued everyone that uses this configuration.
the only possible solution to stop FUD is that every Linux distributer (and every company that profits on Linux) sues SCO, for false allegations and business loss because of them. If there would be enough law cases, that wouldn't solve anything, it would just speed up main case that everything goes around
tryed both (retail and oem and in few versions, older and newer, even corporative which doesn't need activation), they don't work.
HP's Win install is not even an option, because it comes with preinstalled Norton which cannot be uninstalled, at least in this reality (if you ever tryed you know, but if uninstall was satisfactory for you you haven't checked Nortons leftovers).
Norton is a no go situation for me, never in my life I would install anything that Symantec made on any of my computers.
I even called M$ support, where they sid I should get some other serial and use it as mine, which makes a problem for updating. (but they were unable to get me some legal confirmation of that)
In the end I left with one option only. To use WinXP legal-illegal combination and believe that this is correct option.
After that I just erased Windows and installed Linux. I was intending to have 3GB win partition only (only reason to have that is HP battery recovery sogftware), but I ended up with no Windows although I paid for them.
While flash is a binary and closed format, SVG is XML and extensible.
This post is my speculation only, if I'm wrong please correct me.
There is no stopping where XML should end. For a fact no one is stopping you to add variables that are supported by some other software.
Nice examle is to take sodipodi svg, where element color is rgb in default but adds a CMYK representative.
What makes the use of that? Any software can pick rgb display color and colors in every software are the same, without helping of any profiles. Which means you could basicaly make svg that would be perfectly represented on web, as readable document and in dtp. Problems like that occure for example when you export drawning in freehand or corel and open in illustrator. Display Colors are not the same. Using the same technique could basicaly erase all problems with exporting svg animations on video.
But as I only described color extending, one can only imagine where it could extend.
Nope, price is too high for MacOSX to cut in M$ slice of bread. Linux is CHEAPER. And most corporate desktops search for cheaper solutions.
I switched six months ago and have been encouraging a lot of others to do the same.
But on the other hand I was encouraging people in MacOS days, now I tell them to stay away. And many buy a PC instead of new MAC just after hearing *the PRICE of switch* reason.
I'm also curious what the next big app. that directly threatens M$ will be- I'm sure keynote was just a starter!
And I'm asking my self if M$Office and Entourage is gonna be developed anymore (if they stop, they strike Apple). There goes your keyapp. Personaly I use OpenOffice, Evolution and Linux, it's just better, but it would still be lowblow for Apple just because MacOS users were used to have M$Office, IE and Entourage.
I missed the parents post. Since main talk is about scalability for server purposes first thing I thought was cluster.
Hell, but I still don't know what sence would 20k of desktops make with original question about services running on 2-4CPU servers and C# multiprocessor scalability.
Well, someday you miss someday you just don't get it:)
Slashdot Mirror
Interesting I must admit
* up2date surveys/support cuts for old releases
Really just use new verion and update system to new stage, up2date works again

Backup is on same volume on second computer, YES.
Try to restore 2TB of data on tape. Do you even imagine how long does that take?
Nope software I can count from my mind.
Compaq monitor software.
My company bank account app.

And that might be the reason.
Full moherproof browser (epiphany) for default, and yours on demand for people who need features.
As for me I'm very pleased with Epiphany, dumped Galeon just because I don't wanna bother with features and second reason are bookmarks
What default browser needs is not features it's higher usability as a non brainer.

/dev/VolGroup/LVM_Volume /mnt/LVM
1929197992 948811608 921587816 51%
nope, and this is what du says.
Why do you ask
8*250=2000GB=2TB (make it as cca), LVM just takes 5% of every drive I insert in volume
I'm just using 2TB LVM ext3 partition (8 250GB disks)
What would be the problem
Windows - open up the control panel Display properties, change the 'text size' parameter to 'large'. Easy, simple, you get big fonts.
Corrupts too many dialog boxes
Alternatively, change the text size in the Appearance settings for the display. Easy peasy
For what can you do that, let's see: Active caption, Inactive caption, Icon, Message box test
Although you haven't mentioned Display Settings-Settings-Advanced, and setting DPI.
Well that fact makes other concerns, sometimes some fonts don't get resized, and corrupts some other window sizes
And you forgot to mention Cleartype
Well most of apps is stil no antialiased
maybe it's time for you to set your home button in web browser to www.microsoft.com
I hope you're trying to be funny:). Either that or you never resized resolution on LCD to see difference beetwen fixed and changed resolutions
Yep, it's true, buttons don't scale. But all it takes is to make MacOSX user to confess the real fact. Well, that's impossible for that kind of humanity.
By the way I forgot to mention...

is this you Darl?
I know it's you:) Do not shame of stupid remarks and post as AC. Everybody already knows you're IDIOT, there's really no need to hide that fact
,b.heh, in which century do you live in???
they dropped linux support year, two or three ago COMPLETELY
There's no proof, no case and no real actions.
Ok, I'll say that once again:
1. SCO hasn't shown any proof yet
2. Based on how calmed Linus, Redhat and IBM are, I'd say there's no case.
