although on a much smaller scale, i simply needed something that would help manage a template driven site. I think i've found exactly what i need in WebTool. I dont need craxy user management or user polls or top-10 lists or any of that community junk, i just need an organized way to publish pages as easy as possible.
The ONLY solution to this, is P2P content cacheing on the providers side. This will allow everyone to get everything they expect (want), while still keeping the providers uplink light.
History teaches us that this problem was solved 10 years ago, only it was 6GB usenet feeds back then.
If i dont have to get off my local cable to get everything i need, then the cable company can make mucho profits and everyone is happy.
Syskonnect - Makes some of the best network cards, and developes very, very stable drivers for linux. Best of Breed.
ICP-Vortex - Makes some of the best RAID cards available. Develops their own drivers. Best of Breed again.
Cyclades - makes some nice stuff, supports linux well.
Adaptec may have gotten better, but they didnt used to release the source for their RAID cards, and only realeased binary drivers for certain kernels, and didnt update them often.
Mylex used to advertize heavy about working with linux, but relied upon community drivers, even linking to the community page. Why woudlnt they bring this person on-board to fully support linux? Makes no sence to me. Why buy Mylex when i can have a much better card in ICP-Vortex anyway?
pine's "Role"s do this.
setup seperate.sig's and reply-to's and everything. not quite as seamless as it should be, but best thing i've found in linux for handling 10+ email accounts.
ok, ive never used this dbms, but the real question is, does it have tools, and are they too going to be opened up?
Sure, MySQL is fine for wimpy things like webwork where your just pushing SQL replys, but real uses require real tools. Informix's real value comes from isql and dbaccess and i4GL: the forms designers and query tools and RAD tools. Integration with tools like Crystal reports and Incognito are important.
Its the tools that add the value of the database, so are there any?
anyone have a savehaven account they can pop this on? I *HATE* it when you go to look for some source and find its been pulled. one would think it would be almost impossible to cleanly pull a piece of code off the net. one would think there would be a copy sittin in Google's cache or something. I'm still searching for mp3enc-mpi.
Once upon a time, i had a hard drive go out on a machine that served a "critical" function. With 3 people waiting on this machine to come back up, i grabbed the most recent backup and got the machine back up within an hour. Problem was, the software this machine served was keyed to the hard drive. When i called the company to get another key, all i got was a recording saying that they were closed down that day "to celebrate the SuperBowl victory." Good reason to use OSS.
Another time, had to IPL the RS/6000 and it didnt come back up. All it did was blink a little code at me. Too bad the code wasn't in the books that I had. Called our IBM solutions provider, they too did not have the code in their book. After a field guy came out, ended up being a minor problem in the inittab. With linux, i would have had the problem fixed in 10 minutes, instead of waiting half the day for a field tech. They do that on purpose, you know. Make things as difficult as possible so that you have a false sence of value for your service contract.
KC is a great place for a show. Lots of good hotels, nightclubs, casinos, a great airport, and lots to do. And although there are some 4 LUGS here, none of the LUGs had ANYTHING to do with the planning or setup of this show. The LUGs even had to pay for their own stuff at the show. Linuxfest was *NOT* a community run event. It was run by a marketing company (they obviously aren't good at what they do..heh). The members of the LUGs invested a huge amount of personal resources when they saw how bad the show was doing. They tried like hell to save it.
In the end, this shows me how strong the linux community can be. The LUG members, Larry, Bruce, Eric and Emmett all invested time and resources into trying to help this thing be productive, but it was just too screwed up to be saved.
closed OS, should be closed apps. i first got all excited thinking there was a good napster clone, then saw it was for windows. wont help me any. i have absolutely no use for any app for a legacy OS.
biggest tech flaw i saw, they have to 'get close to the surface' to "hack" into the matrix. that implies wireless. but then they have to have a 'hard line' to get back?? WTF?
The Matrix was not a techno-thriller, or whatever you want to call it. It was the same old story, rehashed for public consumption in 1999. "Free your mind"..."illusions"... The story has been told over and over again, each time molded into a story that is relevent for the times.

I still cant figgure out the 'hard line' thing. :)
wow, i musta missed something major. i saw it, i enjoyed it. of course i saw some things that were technically impossible. sure, the theme was a direct rip-off of many other pictures and books. I just took it as a rip-off picture and accepted it for what it was. What seems wierd to me is i dont remember anyone slamming 'The Matrix' this hard. Its theme was just as ripped off as this one, and alot of its tech just as bad.
A coupla years ago, Hughes contracted Caldera to write linux drivers for a california school system. Although i saw the press releases, i never saw anything on Caldera's site. I would also assume it was for their 2-way dish's. Anyway, anyone know what ever came of this?
Slashdot Mirror
Suse has led the ball to x86-64.
It is nice to see that MDK is ready though.
At linuxworld, RH said it would be Q3 till they had one ready.
So can we kick thier ass out of UL now?
I cringed the second i saw their name associated with the project.
the standard benchmark of supercomputers is HPL.
checkout top500.org for, well, the top 500 rankings.
although on a much smaller scale, i simply needed something that would help manage a template driven site. I think i've found exactly what i need in WebTool. I dont need craxy user management or user polls or top-10 lists or any of that community junk, i just need an organized way to publish pages as easy as possible.
anyway, check it out.

Mylex was bought by IBM.
They do not produce their own drivers, but do help the guy who's writing them.
Search out a utility called 'mcrypt'.
http://mcrypt.hellug.gr/
"At the time writing this, it supports the algorithms: BLOWFISH, TWOFISH, DES, TripleDES, 3-WAY, SAFER, LOKI97, GOST, RC2, RC6, MARS, IDEA, RIJNDAEL, SERPENT, CAST, ARCFOUR and WAKE."
then write a wrapper script for your mail client
to unencrypt the mail folders, run the client, and
then re-crypt them before exiting.
works well for me.
Except that you need a 460watt power supply
for the S2462.
While cooling is a big issue, the huge power
requirements of the dual athlon make a 1U even
harder.
Also note that the S2462 does not use a standard
ATX power connection to the motherboard.
On another note:
I want a dual P4 Xeon with 4gig RDRAM and a 1TB
U160 array for $1000. This is about as realistic
at your "dream".
As my grandpa used to say: "Put want in one hand
and shit in the other, see which one fills up
first."
another lame site gone with the wind.
is a good thing.
There hasnt been a good site since Dave left
linuxtoday.com. Marty did his best, but 1 man
cant run the world by himself.
back to the topic:
LWN sucks. good bye! dont let my foot hit you
in the ass on your way out!!
of course, all this is a direct response for
making me click through 12 friggen times to
read a dam entry on their site.

i have absolutely no use for any app for a legacy OS.

so why is one rip-off better than the others?
