What about restores?, they can't be done if the agent doesn't have r/w access to the entire filesystem (for full backups anyway).
The biggest problem of backups is being able to actually restore the files in less time than it would take you to just reinstall/redo things, and it is one of the reasons I love Bacula's Catalog on database concept. It would tell you on what tape the file you are looking for is, how old the backup is, and with a tape autoloader, it would even load the correct tape and restore the file quickly. Try that with a 6GB tar.gz file... not fun.
We hired 15 new staff (50+ total) during the last 2 months; and guess what.... training was a 2hr presentation to inform them about policies and procedures, and to just show them the Linux desktop and off they went to use the system and do their work.
Now, moving the initial 18+ staff over from Windows/Office/Outlook to Linux/OpenOffice/Evolution, that was a real pain; but now that we became a Linux shop, new staff fits just right in. People tends to give their best effort (and not complain that much) when they start a new job, don't they?
We still have some issues with crappy formatted MS-Word documents (frames instead of rows in a table, anyone?) or VB script ridden Spreadsheets we get from third parties, but our administrative assistants have become pretty good at "fixing" those documents if we need to keep using them in the future (Styles and the Navigator in OpenOffice make a breeze to work with large documents).
Now, what is important is to keep staff training going on a continuos basis, after all, you don't want people doing the same old same old on your shiny new system, and making the same formating errors, and creatring the same crappy Access type (pseudo)databases, or keeping mission critical data on (now)OpenOffice Calc spreadsheets, etc.
evolution-data-server and the ximian-connector is what you are asking for. Includes support for GroupWise an several other "backends" (like MS-Exchange 2000/2003). They are a bitch to get installed on Debian, but Evolution 2.0 is much.... much better than 1.4.6 (Debian's official version), especially on stability of the exchange connector (Connector 1.4.7 crashes all the time for us), it's faster and looks nicer too.
Try using Evolution with the now GPLd Ximian-Connector for Exchange. It uses the WebDav API for exchange and thus gives you all the rich functionality of the Outlook client with the convenience of using it from home.
For the directory server though, you admin would have to open the LDAP port, but it can be used without it anyway.
You are absolutely right. Instead of trying to "patch" the sites (or the browser for that matter), we MUST insist in web (HTML) standards. We would be much better off by sending (as I do if the site has any use to me) a polite request to the webmaster cc to the marketing/client relation dept. asking them to FIX the site so it would work in well behaved browsers.
As the parent says, not free but....

We used this tool to control resources (human and material) in a medium project (500 people) and it's top-down approach worked wonderfuly.
Each level in the organization would see form the level down what the status of the project is.
Check it out, I haven't used MS-Project in a long time, but this product and Computer Associates Superproject were allways superior to the Microsoft offersing. IMHO.
Actually NO, everybody has said this before, You do not apply a patch without testing it really well before. It doesn't matter if it comes from MicroSoft.
At work we had a problem with some users (Win9x and power users on 2K) auto updating to the latest Acrobat Reader 6.0. As a result they broke a semi-critical third party application that relied on some obscure functionality from Acrobat 5.0, so yes,we had all IT staff running aroud "fixing" (read downgrading) computers, and don't tell me that every major company knows every last technical detail about their off the shelve apps.
You are right, it is bad. At work we are "protected" by a big ass firewall in Tallahase (all in/outbound traffic is routed through it from all over Florida) but many machines got infected because some idiot unleashed the damn thing inside the network (probably connecting a laptop, and no, our DCHP server only gives IPs to valid MAC addresses, but some people take their work laptop home to do therir work). Now we have port 135 closed in all internal routers and that is a big pain in the neck because all our DCOM based applications are working only for the people on the same segment as the servers.
You may 1) use the Program only for internal evaluation or testing purposes (emphasis mine) and 2) make and install a reasonable number of copies of the Program in support of such use, unless IBM identifies a specific number of copies in the documentation accompanying the Program. The terms of this license apply to each copy you make.
so, No, it is not FREE it is only gratis (no money) for testing. You should give it a try though,.... i tried version 1.0 long time ago and it was a very nice IDE.
How about this... none of the links on google contains the information I need to make a reliable Modeline. you know, Like the Pixel clock frequency, Front/Back porch pixels and polarity for both Horizontal and Vertical timings.
So... no, google is not the answer. A Hardware database would be better.
Last week I had to pull from the closet and old IBM-8514 monitor because I sold my Viewsonic and my AcerView crap out and died with a *BZZZT* and smoke.
Last time I used the 8514 it took me 2 days to configure X for the 1024x768 87Hz Interlaced mode. as you would imagine, there are no docs for this monitor on the web (or IBM site) and i had to try ModeLine after Modeline until i got ona that kina worked and then spent a cuuple of hours tunning it.
So, YES it would be nice, especialiy now that i'm back to 640x480 because I don't know where my copy of that old XF86Config file is.
You should NOT be sending e-mail to people you don't know, do business with, or share a particular interest with, I mean, Is ok to e-mail coworkers, business partners, family, friends, the friendly geek in a mailing list (about a mutually interesting topic), support@company.com, etc. but you should never send an unsolicited e-mail to a random address and let alone an e-mail containing adult only material.
Is it true, this time we canÂt blame the users completely. We may blame the sysadmins for not stripping the exe scr and pif atachements out of the e-mails; notice I say "may" because i am under the impression the atachement appears as a MIDI file to the mail reader and as an exe to the OS, hence the two years old Outlook exploit. Or we could blame corporate for forcing users into Outlook and IE without "forcing" the techs to patch those systems. And for the Joe home user, well..... though luck, he/she is stuck with an OS he doesnÂt know how to patch or secure so he/she has no alternative but to trust Microsoft and keep "auto-updating" and forking cash for every new Windows version. I have personally tried to convert many people over to Open source, but only few have gotten it. Most people just thinks it is too much hassle to replace something that in their minds is free anyways (pre-installed by OEM / company) so they just quit after they hit the first "Ahh.. but it was easier in Windows". Anyway, seems like a very smart worm indeed.
Politicians should not finance their campaigns with "corporations" money, but with "peoples" money. This plutocracy we live in is a consequence of politicians being paid by corporations and the apathy of the people. soft money contrributions should be outlawed. Have you noticed that the politicians have started to call the people "consumers"... i don't know about you, but i am NOT a consumer, I am a person. Nice troll anyway. Cheers
I would certantly like to see (or read, or whatever) at least part of my grandma's history, you know, you don't get to pass enough time with your loved ones on this age and time; and one they are gone... well You get the point.
To quote from the the article "When times are bad, Microsoft can lay off hundreds of contingent workers without a word to the analysts or to shareholders. It's a common practice that most contractors know and fear.".
There you have it, this is the corporate culture at Microsoft. Every single day i find a new reason to dislike that company.
For my clients i always set mozilla's start page to yahoo in their new / updated pc with a yahoo mail account (just to shove it to MSN / Hotmail) and additional bookmarks on the personal toolbar to the https yahoo mail login and a google link. Of course the default mozilla search engine gets set to google.

Parent should be modded up. That is exactly the way Debian should be used.
/home over NFS, Apache, BIND, DHCP, apt-proxy etc)
.. including a couple from unstable like Evolution 2.0.2)
... We've been on Debian for almost a year now, and we are very happy with it.
Stable == Servers (we Have 6 of them runnig our basic infrastructure: LDAP, PostgreSQL,
Testing == Business workstations (we have 40+ with a hand selected set of packages
Unstable/Experimental == Home or testing machines at work.
Debian testing probably beats the heck out of most distros in stability
For Sun j2sdk 1.5 (or 5.0) as they call it, use the java-package from unstable. It works pretty well for me here (40+ Workstations, 6 servers)
./sun-sdk-file-name
.deb package.
./my_new_sun_sdk_package.deb .. proceed)
.. Debianised sun-j2sdk (mozilla plugins and all working)
wajig install/unstable java-package
download the sdk tar.gz file from java.sun.com
run java-package on the download folder:
make-jpkg
This will give you a perfectly functional
Then just do:
dpkg -i
(configuration will fail because an unresolved dependency
wajig install sun-j2re1.5debian
this will fix the unresolved dependency, if it doesn't, do a:
apt-get -f install
and voila!
