The best use I've ever had for the big Mac servers is running as a file server in a windows/mac environment. If you still have any pre-OS X machines around, that's about the only way to get them all on the same machine (If you say windows mac volume, I'm mailing a dead fish to your house).
I used to run Netatalk on a Debian machine to serve files to pre-OS X Macs, along with Samba for the Windows boxes. http://netatalk.sourceforge.net/
So many posts here saying that they won't use any browser that doesn't have Adblock Plus type functionality. While that particular extension does rock, you can achieve similar results with any browser or app by loving your/etc/hosts or c:\windows\system32\drivers\etc\hosts file with this http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm or similar solutions. Great success.
I don't like using FreeBSD as a guest OS either. I used to manage FreeBSD servers in the past, now I'm mainly working on CentOS servers. Just a few weeks ago I was on a OS X machine and used macports.org to install a few things for Ruby on Rails and good god do I miss the ports system compared to downloading rpms from here and there. I know there are lots of yum repositories floating around out there but nothing compares to one centrally managed FreeBSD ports tree.
As the other poster pointed out, make your life easier and install CentOS for servers instead of Fedora. I'm using CentOS 5.1 on Proliant DL360s and DL380s, G5 and older. All the HP monitoring software works as long as you modify the/etc/redhat-release file before installing.
I completely agree. FreeBSD started offering official binary security updates. Maybe one day OpenBSD will do the same. Until then give Radmind a shot. It works beautifully for any BSD OS.
One way around that is making sure your hosting provider, or your server for that matter, allows you to forward your incoming mail to other addresses. Forward all mail to your Gmail account while keeping the "live" copy on your provider's IMAP server. That way should Gmail ever flake out on you, you still have your live mail in your control.
"If your db connections are expensive, look at sqlrelay"
To what extent have you used sqlrelay? Any particular shortcomings? It sounds like it would be a nice solution to use where you have multiple database servers and only want to use one for updates/inserts but not a lot of people use it for some reason.
Now if only I could see a Gmail conversation or thread like view so all my sent emails and incoming emails are in one location. That would be just swell!
I don't think that's true. I'm using it right now and I can do a free/busy check among multiple invited people and if you look at the button in the top right corner of the client, the one with two people as the icon, it shows a multi-user calendar display. Basically each selected user's calendar side by side so you can get a quick look at what's going on in one shot.
I've itched about this before as well - Thunderbird very well could blow away Outlook in many organizations, but the CALENDAR *SUCKS*
It's not just the calendar. Can you maintain a shared contact list or multiple lists on a server using Thunderbird? Before someone mentions an LDAP directory keep in mind that you can't modify those LDAP contacts from within Thunderbird itself. Unless I'm missing some hidden feature.
Now I know Google is pretty good and reliable, but that's sort of a harsh way to do business...... I mean, a false positive would get you cut off from what could be vital information. If that happens to someone, they'll be mad, even though it was done for a good reason.
True. They might even demand that they get their money back.

Please send that tasty fish my way.
But how do you verify several TB of already compressed data (group 4 TIFFs)?
Create checksums of each file before backup and then verify the restored files using the previous checksums?
Not the same but Privoxy or blocking using your hosts file serve the same purpose. http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm

I would switch to Telus instead. Lesser of two evils.
>This is not completely accurate. I am in Canada and I had gotten a Grand Central number. Maybe it is for US and Canada only
GrandCentral Requirements:
"At this time GrandCentral is only available in the U.S."
What a coincidence, I just watched Pirate Radio USA, a documentary which contains all these fun facts about the FCC and big business.
"postgresql-8.0.2.tar.gz ... GNU General Public License (GPL)"
Wrong license. As mentioned on the PostgreSQL site page, the project uses the BSD license.

I love PostgreSQL but I must side with you here. It needs solid, native, asynchronous replication supported by the main dev team.
And shared address book and a server component required to uproot Outlook and Exchange.

I don't like driving Mercedes because the name is just plain messed up. Heavens forbid someone might ask me to spell it!
Nuke(s) in a shipping container VS. forward and rear mounted machine guns.
FIGHT!
I believe they are called book reviews.
I see a lot of people advocating XFS. Which distro supports XFS the best?
Just out of curiosity which RAID controller are we talking about here and which Linux distro?
