There wouldn't be much of a need for adjustments. They want something to run so that he can share docs between him and his wife. If they aren't worried about file security (it seems not) then the only thing they need to do is download files and dump them.
Anything you need to do can be done over ssh anyway:)
At this point I'd be willing to do this work for $30K a year. I can't find a job that will get me by and at 24, I can afford to live on $30K...right now Top's isn't paying me that.
Group Ownership is a wonderful thing. Have a drop directory set to Mom and Dad's group and any file they create will have/can have group rwx if you want.
It's easy to set the mask for all created files...or are you not familiar with this?
Rant Radio has been free for a very long time and will continue to be. Industrial music (VNV Nation, Berzerker, etc), with permission from the record companies to be able to rebroadcast for free. I don't see why others can't seem to figure out that it's completely possible to survive without going to a crappy medium like Real and having to charge subscription rates.
I've always liked the idea offering an outlook plugin much like binari does. Even though it doesn't work as well as expected, it allows companies to use their existing software (which they paid for) and still use the benefits of a better backend server. I could care less what clients are used as long as the server is scalable, reliable and secure.
An exchange replacement would have to either have a plugin for outlook or be a reverse engineered copy of exchange in order to make it in businesses. A company that has paid for their copies of windows will not immediately dump then and install linux because a better server is available but is not compatible with their client software. Outlook is a business standard like it or not.
Exchange is a great idea, when it works, it works well...when it doesn't...well, it sucks. Replace the server and the clients will use it...if it's compatible.
When an article states Windows is easier than linux, the zealots come out and argue it's not true...

Slashdot should learn this isn't a good place to post individual comments based on experience, instead they should have more obvious news like "water is wet, but hard when frozen" who can argue that?
I am going to play devil's advocate:
Windows has a very large base of software which is why OEM's used to choose to include it on their systems. BeOS didn't so there wasn't a real reason to sell it on OEM systems.
No one was going to use BeOS for the lack of software was too large because they weren't on OEM systems because there was too little software because there was no OEM shipping it, because...ouch infinite loop
They are fighting for laws that were created, the seperation of church and state, the freedom to do what you want with your bodies...
They were fighting against the role of the church creating laws, America is based on the fact that there is a seperation of church and state...or is supposed to be.
I believe he was actually doing nothing more than making a comment.
You seem a little upset because someone didn't say you were a God.
He said you were doing a good job. I'm sorry that you can't accept just that.
Believe it or not, the vast majority of websites out there are NOT members of the press, including our precious slashdot.
These folks are paid to run websites. If this site was a member of the press, do you think we'd see the number of spelling and grammer mistakes that we do on a daily basis from the editors themselves? I don't think so. Just because you put up a weblog and a few thousand people read it religiously doesn't make you a member of the press.
The whiney runt from GraphicPower.com and the others are just people who use macs. They may be smart enough to run a website, but that does NOT make them a member of the press.
It does not, nor should not affect people buying macs. I can't get my free pass but I write a local article in a computer magazine about Apple every now and then. Boohoo...i'm going to dump my apple and run windows or Linux because I'm being oppressed.
Help Help I'm being oppressed.
Whine elsewhere.
Oh good lord. Let's try this, apple has had constant problems with these sites releasing information about things that are either wrong or premature.
This guy threatens to never buy another mac, to close down his site...I say boo hoo.
He's going to cry because he can't get a media pass. I run a small zine and I can't get media passes. That doesn't mean I'm going to stop what I do because of it.
It's his loss, not anyone elses. I'm sure the others will act more maturely.
That is why Perl can be run on windows. It's there so that you do NOT have to change operating systems. I kind of like the idea that a windows install can be tuned down to nothing, then built up, much like linux.
If you set up your system, you chose the OS for a reason and if any person bugs you and tries to force their favorite OS down your throat, tell them to fuck off.
It's not difficult, choose what you want. Not what's best for the situation. It's your choice, not anyone elses. People realize that this is the thought process and thus port software like PERL, PHP, Mozilla, etc...

Point? Stupid troll.
web pages, run a server (several of them, http, irc, smb, etc.), etc, etc, etc.
I can write a webpage in Notepad just as easily as I can in vim
I can install apache, samba is included, irc servers (not likely on a corporate user machine).
While I agree, using linux would be more advantageous, these aren't the reasons.

At the rate Star Wars is heading, I'll be happy when Lucas is dead then...
I don't think Lucas can do much of a better job. Consider all the happy little aliens in CG. They can't be dark, jar jar can't be dark...

if they are not hosting the binaries (it seems that they are using debian repositories) then they shouldn't be charging for it.

err more reliably and flexibly as a server than darwin... sorry, brain fart.
Why would Linux run faster on a New World mac faster than something like Darwin? Not a troll, just trying to figure out why...
All I see is a bunch of words separated by asterisks. Nothing really wrong but a stupid post... what's the deal?
