Here's a
link from the NetBSD documentation website. And
here's
one provided by a netbsd user, translated from spanish. The second one is better because it incorporates ssh and a chroot jail for the entire repository. I have the actual english version which I downloaded from one of the netbsd mailing lists, don't remember exactly which one though. Search through them, should still be there.
Can someone please append to that article's text that the story is covered by the The Globe and Mail and not the National Post (ugh) like so many readers have pointed out already. I mean for crying out loud people, you can read that yourself in the first three lines of the article! Give credit where credit is due.
Amazing, isn't it? All this great stuff happening for OpenOffice, and yet they still haven't spent 10 minutes to solve the problems it's having on OpenBSD.
It makes sense to me that the OpenBSD developers continue to spend time on it if they want it to work on their OS.
I don't know about anyone else, but I'm damn tired of cludgy, platform-specific, Open Source software. First Mozilla, now OpenOffice.
Platform specific hardly. Both FreeBSD and NetBSD have functioning ports of Mozilla and OpenOffice. Thank you, come again.
After browsing through their ftp server for a little bit, I discovered that 8.2 won't be available until
April 11. Latest version that's available right now is 8.1
PS -- If anyone knows of any alternatives to OE Server, please let me know! I need to be able to share calenders and address books for clients running outlook 2k/XP/2k3.
Check out InsightConnector.
You can try it out for 14 days, pretty cheap and it
works with the Cyrus IMAP server.
For all the people here complaining about Iraqi TV violating the Geneva Convention and criticizing Al Jazeerah for airing that footage, please remember your government has
similar skeletons in its closet (if not worse).
As the linked article states, the spread of that documentary has pretty much been blocked in the US by your media. The Bush administration even tried to get the German government not to air it in Germany. This administration just takes the term hypocrisy to a new level. Is it any wonder why Bush felt the need to not participate in any International Crimes Court? If they don't have
anything to be afraid of then why object to this?
We want convenience and security in one. Lots of people do, that's why Ciscos have an "established" clause that lets established tcp sessions go through. Ipfw has established. Ipfwadm has setup/established. They all have this feature, but the name is very misleading. When we first saw it, we thought it meant our packet filter was keeping track of what was going on, that it knew if a connection was really established or not. The fact is, they're all taking the packet's word for it from a part of the packet anybody can lie about. They read the TCP packet's flags section and there's the reason UDP/ICMP don't work with it, they have no such thing. Anybody who can create a packet with bogus flags can get by a firewall with this setup.
I remember ipfw getting actual state features like IPF has. I'm more accustomed to the BSD operating systems so I'm not sure how Linux accomplishes this, does netfilter maintain a state table as well or does it still act like how the excerpt from the IPF howto describes it?
Then use netfilter.. its pretty nice...
In all fairness, IPF and PF seem to have a way better/intuitive syntax compared to iptables. Since we're talking about Linux here, a community which usually considers having more choice when it comes to software a good thing, I think it would be beneficial to have more choice where packet filters are concerned.
Also, this guy thre a temper tantrum and said that he was keeping the protocols of Gnutella 2 "secret", but I guess he changed his mind.
From what I can remember it was the author of Bearshare who threw the mother of all tantrums and said that he was going to come up with
gnutella3 and make sure it was a closed proprietary protocol. So yea, Gnutella2 or Mike's Protocol or whatever you want to call it, is an open protocol (officially) now. No more reasons to complain now are there?
As far as I'm concerned Shareaza rocks! It works like advertised: no spyware or ad's, fast and free. If none of the other Gnutella developers (except for the Gnucleus author) want to implement the G2/MP protocol then that's their decision but for now I join the rest of a growing number of Shareaza users who have a wicked P2P application.
A couple of people have asked the question "what about HP and Debian?".. I'll make it a bit more broad. Are there any established companies (like IBM or HP) offering support for Debian? After trying out Redhat 8 and Debian 3.0 I definetly would prefer to use Debian more often, and commercial support (if needed) would be icing on the cake.
Yup, and it's sad how many people in the US seem to be oblivious to that fact. I was appauled when news first broke out that the current administration
handed over $43 million to the Taliban. Maybe someone should have sent Dubya a memo that the Taliban are terrorists and that he claims he's against states who sponsor terrorism. Oh right, I forgot that was before 9/11.. now all of a sudden he has morals and ethics. These are the type of people sounding the drums for war, the need to spill so much innocent blood (yes Iraqi civilians will be killed in this war by the way) for pre-emptive strikes against US threats. Can North Korea or China launch pre-emptive strikes against the US or will that be terrorism? Maybe it's just me but it seems like Bush is the biggest threat to the US.
I've never liked SuSE. And not because it's a bad distro or because it needs a quite powerfull computer to work fine. It's beacause of that damn sick green.
"Random Linux Distro" Kshu, we've just released the ultimate linux distro! It integerates seamlessly with just about any piece of software you can think of!! Please download our ISO's or buy our cd's.
"Kshu" Wow! Finally I can use decent, stable softwa.. wait a minute. Green?!! GREEN!!!! Fuck that!
My main box is a typewriter. I have it connected to my friend's typewriter in another apartment with a copper wire and we just type 1's and 0's back and forth. I think I might upgrade sometime soon.
It's really hard to take this Vincent character seriously considering how immature he seems to be. I mean come on, try proving your point(s) without calling other people "son of a whore". That is just plain stupid. And lets see: Shareaza.. free, no spyware, no adware, works better, better interface, stable. Bearshare, Limewire on the other hand: spyware, adware, and not as refined as Shareaza. Who's spyware/adware revenues are being hurt here? With that being said, the Shareaza author should redeem himself too by releasing the full Gnutella2 specs, after all, he's using the "Gnutella" name. Then again, gnutella3.com seems to be registered by the immature Bearshare author and who's said that gnutella3 protocol will be proprietary.. blah, what a mess. All I know is that if Shareaza starts bundling any spyware then it's back to ftp/irc exclusively for me.
Presumably, an oil man would know that. Why then, is he still pushing for war? Maybe because it's not about the oil?
Now I might be going out on a limb here but I don't know if Dubya would know a good thing from bad if it bit him on the ass. So I'll refer to the actual administration instead. I'm having a very hard time believing that they're pushing for war because of all the oppressed Iraqi civilians (I'm guessing that's the point you were trying to make considering the link you posted). I'm sure the current adminstration was aware about all the horrible things the Taliban were doing to civilians in Afghanistan when they gave them ~40 million dollars so they would crack down on poppy fields. It's all about self interests.
If it's not about oil then whatever the reason they're (or he's) pushing for war, it definetly isn't for humanitarian reasons.
I've been meaning to integerate LDAP with our mail
server so I'm curious as to how OpenLDAP compares
with the commercial alternatives. You mentioned
Novell eDirectory..
"it offers very high performance, massive scalability, replication, partitioning, cross platform support and more."
Am I reading
their prices right? $2 per user?? I might just
reinstall Redhat on a spare box to test this out. Too bad they don't have a FreeBSD version.

Here in Soviet Russia we frown upon people who don't say Soviet Russia.

You are absolutely right, what the hell am I doing running all these servers with NetBSD and Apache. Windows 2000 and IIS, here I come!

Well, if you really need Access' GUI and development tools then you can just use it as a frontend and have PostgreSQL be the backend using ODBC.

Question 3: When was the last time you purchased any SCO products?
Thankfully.. Never.
Question 4: What was your primary purpose in visiting the SCO Website today?
Other: To try to /. sco.com =P

Who's picking up the tab?
I, on the other hand, am still waiting for Teamfortress 2. Has it been an eternity already?

Or hopefully you could use your old PC box as a server with any of these relatively new operating systems as well: FreeBSD, NetBSD, Debian =P
