Some organizations management might not allow them to set up PXE. In this case this gives them the convienence of booting workstation nodes into the cluster at night with just a CD.
You can read all you want, but you missed the whole point of using the CD for non-Linux nodes.
Between RIAA and SCO everybody is going to be asked to bend over and take it up the ASS. They both have decided on a business model of suing because they can't do what is need to make $$.
If you give up your right so fast, before long cops won't need any probable cause to enter your house.
They already trample on our rights and this is BS. if you volunteeringly give up rights can you say military control, because that's about the type of society we are headed in.
Lets give other countries freedom and then take away our own. What a good policy (load of crap!).
xargs is good and faster than using exec, but if you want to have script compatability you need to use:
[cdc->/home/cdc]$ find/usr/src/linux/ -name '*.[hcS]' -exec cat {} \; | wc -l
Other UNIXs won't like the xargs.
Just goes to show that scripting or programming there will be very simular code. Shove that up your A?S SC$!
That is if they didn't steal the code from BSD.
my bad, there are over 3 million lines.
#!/bin/sh
count=0
for line in `find/usr/src/linux/ -name '*.c' -exec wc -l {} \; | awk '{printf $1 "\n"}'`
do
let count=$count+$line
done
echo $count
What's this about nobody to call? There is no reason to have to call anybody. With 5 mins of searching you should be able to find linux info on just about anything you are interested in. If that doesn't work there are LUGs with people that actully know what's going on.
It's not rocket science and don't see what all these problems you are refering about. Nothing has ever been dificult to configure here.
The SCO Group, the owner of the UNIX operating system, has filed a complaint against IBM in a Utah court. IBM has just received a copy of the complaint and is reviewing it now. We have released the following statement to the press on this issue:
* We received a copy of the complaint this morning and have not had a sufficient opportunity to study it. However, based on a quick read, the complaint is full of bare allegations with no supporting facts.
* SCO never approached IBM to raise this complaint. Nor did they inform us in advance of filing the lawsuit.
* As you know, IBM has been openly supporting Linux and open standards for several years -- and neither SCO nor any of its predecessors ever expressed these concerns to us.
* IBM is extremely committed to AIX and to its thousands of AIX customers worldwide.
We will share any additional information as it becomes available.
This isn't about airing out dirtly laundry, this is about trying to move to using applications that abide by open standards. There is a major flaw when a company this big has a coorprate license for MS Office, when OpenOffice.org is free and will render most every documetn a user will encounter. There are many other simular issues and just wanted somebody within IBM to realize this. This is just another medium to address these issues.
And yes, I have brought this up to my managers and others and getting no where. I will not give up and will keep fighting!
This isn't my biggest complaint about work and yes I do have a pretty good job and can't complain about too much.
When I say my "biggest complaint" I was refering to people should start using open standards. This could only help everybody out in the long run. Think this is about enough on this issue so will leave it at that.
It is all about using open standards. This way the user is free to use what ever OS they choose. At work I should have this freedom and this is my biggest complaint.
There are enough apps around that are cross platform, so don't want to say that this isn't poss.
Once more coorporations realize this everybody will be better off.
Currently there are lots of IBM commercials regarding Linux. At home all I use is Linux and am far more productive, yet at work(IBM) am forced to use winblows. When are you going to start embracing using technologies that your costomers and workers can use. Instead of having web broadcase in Windows median, switch to another format. This goes to all of the documents and programs being used. Why have a coorprate license for Office XP when we can use OpenOffice.org?
Currently this aspect is forcing your customers to use windows. With this attitude you will never gain any ground in the Desktop world. There is plenty to gain and somebody in bigblue needs to wake up.
Using cross platfrom libs can save you lots of time. For GUI you can use QT, GTK, or fltk.

to load usb-storage need root of course/usr/sbin/modprobe -v usb-storage
Now to see what device the Player is: Look at/var/log/messages, at the end of the file it should log the information that is related to the usb-storage devices. Look for and entry like
host_name kernel : sda: sda4 in this case the device would be sda4.
As far as checking the FS type do a search. Most lickely it is vfat.
You can think of the player as a device. If it's usb, just load the usb-storage module. Next find out what type of file system it has and then mount the player just like you would mount anything else:
mount -type vfat/dev/sdaX/mnt/music
Now just copy music files to/mnt/music, unmount and use player.
I have done this from el cheepos to good players and works every time.
Like many people have stated, all you have is KDE, with some icon changes. Give me a fast window manager(icewm or sawfish) and i'm set. the beauty of Linux/Unix is that you can have it look and do what ever you want. If you try to dummy it down, this will get lost and all you will have is M$.
For all that haven't tried icewm out, you should, it loads about 20X faster than KDE/GNOME.

It's easier to manage an openmosix cluster than this mandrake cluster. Plus you can run diskless nodes using ClusterKnoppix!.

Don't know where the threshhold is for not gaining any improvement after adding a node, but know that you can have over 2000 nodes.
The bigest bottle neck is the network architecture. The better your network is, the more nodes you can have.
Comence:
#!/bin/sh

do
ab -n 1000000 -c 1000 "http://www.sco.com/" &
