  8. Novell's implementation of WebDAV on Implementing True WebDAV Homedirs? · · Score: 1

    Netware fully supports WebDAV protocol to access their file shares on the Netware Servers. They use mod_dav+Apache for providing the access. There is a elaborate GUI to control access.
    I use Apache+mod_dav on a Linux server, which authenticates against a LDAP server. I dont use mod_digest, but I do everything over https:// so no need for mod digest. We have been using this for last 2 years, wwithout any issues. Very successful too. http://www.xml-dev.com/xml/photo/

  13. Re:This is not a good move IMO on Red Hat To Drop Boxed Retail Distribution · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I m sure you will be able to purchases the CDs of the ISOs from other channels as well. For example some LUG sell downloaded ISO images on CDs for merely the cost of the media ($2-$5) and shipping.

  14. Acutally a good move - service oriented on Red Hat To Drop Boxed Retail Distribution · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Red Hat is provider for Linux OS for the Enterprises. They want to concentrate more on the RH 2.1 Advance Server, and not waste too much time on the retailing the distribution.

    Moveover since the developers will be actually the one doing the packaging as well, Red Hat's job will become in including those packages in their ES/AS/WS distributions. Making the developer list open to all, will in-turn help them making their ES/AS/WS services better.
    They want to be a service oriented company, rather than a product oriented. And this is the only Open Source Model that will survive.
