I agree with backuppc... I've used Veritas as well... I must admint backuppc is much better IMHO.. Some really nifty laptop backup options... basically, it will ping/WINS for when a laptop is connected to the network, and start the backups when it is connected. It can even pick up where it left off if the laptop goes off line (If I remember correctly) I use it now, but without any laptops...
I've seen Lots of talk about how MS should include a VM environment to provide backwards compatibility, however my expierience with their VM goods is severely disappointing. MS Virtual Server 2005 R2, Does not
1) support HW virtualization (Expected in SP1 which last time I looked was months late) 2) boot up a VM, and you lose Network on the Primary OS (Dom0) so you need 2 nics one for the host OS and one for the VM's. 3) 64 bit VS installed on 64bit windows 2003 server does not support 64 guest OS's. 4) Pretty Interface that doesn't really work. Their activeX (Embedded in IE) control to admin the host OS's works about as well as Yugo's. I even had Windows Admins say it was junk. 5) difficult to admin.
My expierience overall with MS MS2005R2 is that it kinda works, it may wow anyone who has never use Virtualization before, but I've been using Virtuozzo, VMware and Xen for years now, and MS VS doesn't even come close to any of them when it comes to the admin/production side of things.
Maybe if they hid the fact that whatever legacy app was running in a VM, but MS's virtualization stuff needs a lot of work.
You know, I've tried just about all of the major distros out there, and have come to the conlusion that everyone has it's downsides and it's upsides. Opinions are like assholes everyones got one, and this thread seems to be a bunch of Fedora/RH bashers. IHMO RH/fedora is probably one of the better ones, RH has been a major player( if not THE major player) in linux and open source since the beginning and no one seems to appreciate the contributions they have given back to the community. Yes they may have made some blunders during the RH9->RHEL migration. Where's everyones appreciation? RH/Fedora has consitantly been one of the top distros.
Every package management system has issues: rpm,deb,tgz and dependency issues with their packages and software to resolve them: yum and apt to name a few. I seen issues with installation,packaging, and dependency issues on virtually every distro out there including Ubuntu. My personal favorite to dislike is Gentoo. (see one of my earlier posts)
If ESR truely did a rpm -e --force --nodeps on a core library then he deserves what he gets. I've done it before with zlib, busted out the rescue cd, and was up and running again un less than 10 minutes. Why didn't he make his own RPM? I've been doing this for years, it's not rocket science, and I suspect that ESR may be smarter than me. Also RPM is no longer "stagnating" so to speak, it is being actively worked on by the major RPM distros: http://www.linux.com/article.pl?sid=07/02/16/07025 2

After reading the article, it all seems like a publicity stunt to me. The SWAT team/police were probably invovled unknowingly. Notice in the article, after posting bail, they immediately go to a radio station to promote their upcoming (I believe officially licensed) mixtape.
You know I've thought that writing a conversion tool to take care of this would be a great idea. You know something like 12 hershey squirts == 1 crapload 1024 craploads == 1 Assload
You know before someone thinks that this is a good idea I'd just like to state that I'm in favor of REMOVING the warning labels on most items, for the specific purpose of letting "Darwin sort 'em out" There are just too many stupid people making it to breeding age these days.
I haven't got much experience in the world of wireless networking, but in my brief excursions into linux and wireless nics, the Intel stuff is the only one that works outta the box. ipw2xxx drivers are included in the FC kernels at least.
I, just yesterday, ordered a belkin wireless G nic specifically because it had a atheros chipset that is supported by madwifi for my MythTv setup at home. I am creating a dedicated htpc frontend because I'm impatient, I whipped out an old Linksys WUSB11 v2.8 USB nic that I had, and again revisited the berlios atmel project page, fully expecting it (like last time) to take a few days before I could even get the drivers to compile. I'm not sure whether it's because I've done it before, or whether the project has proceeded that much further, but I got it working in less than an hour, got bored and created some fc6 rpms for it. They're available here:
There's probably something wrong with them: ie the versioning scheme isn't FC standard, I could have included a hotplug config file, so you don't have to roll your own, etc etc. I'm willing to listen to feedback. If someone would like to host them, let me know, they're currently on a dinky cable connection.
FYI myth users, wireless B will not cut it for watching video, Wireless G works, but I get the feeling that it is strained, so if your following my footsteps, you may want to look into one of the faster G protocols.
I'm waiting for the upstream G protocols to actually standardize before I go any higher in the Wireless spectrum. I dislike vendor lock in.
yeah, I am friends with a Syrian who recently went back to Syria to visit his family. He told me some interesting things when he got back: He basically said that he was "treated better by both the USA and England combined than by his own country" He also mentioned that he told his close friends and family this when he was in Syria and was being asked why he chose to live in the US rather than Syria. His friends and family are under the impression that the US and England are the great infidels that are trying to destroy Islam, and that this is an idea that is being promoted by the government over there. He evidently could have gotten into a lot of trouble had his comments become known by the Syrian officials.
Damn... I haven't seen that low of a UID in a long time. I've been reading slashdot since 97, and have gone through about 10-12 different ID's because I always forgot them. I think that my original one was somewhere in the low 10K area.....
I agree completey, however, I'd just like to point out that Novell/SusE seems to be focusing more on the Desktop while RedHat is focusing more on the Server side. Personally, I feel that the server side is WAY more important, and gets "Linux" (in general) in the door and in the minds of the IT departments. The Desktop follows after that.
Never used SusE/Novell's version of Xen, but I CAN tell you that Fedora's is not compiled with PAE enabled, so you cannot address more than 4GB of RAM. It seems to me, like you are looking for a pretty serious VM performance/memory allocation. I am in the same situation, and have to recompile Xen from source with PAE enabled to get more the kind of memory allocation that I need.
To save you some searching here's the make command
make XEN_TARGET_X86_PAE=y install
though for 64bit goodness you'll probably have to throw another flag in there.
Yea, you know RH May have screwed over the little guy a little, but so has every other Corp on the planet. So let me address your question by asking another question. Do you still use Microsoft products? How about cars? Do you still buy them? Or do you walk everywhere? Ever hear of Rambus or MicroChannel? If you stopped doing business with everyone who tried to screw you over, you'd not be in business. The difference is in degree, and what you decide you can put up with.

A quieter one yes but quiter no.
I just saw my first SMART Car on the road today as a matter of fact, in the Denver area.

You know I've thought that writing a conversion tool to take care of this would be a great idea. You know something like
12 hershey squirts == 1 crapload
1024 craploads == 1 Assload
2000 Assloads == 1 Fuckton
Then you have to worry about metric
1 Assload == 1.6 Arseload
I was going to say that the parent has obviously never been responsible for Enterprise Storage Systems.

just ramblin.
KDevelop is probably (I've tried alot) my favorite IDE for Linux, however, I do most of my development in vi.
I've tried lots and lots of these bacula included, by FAR the best one that I've found is backuppc.sourceforge.net!
