  1. Re:A Red Hat shop? on IBM Invests $50M in Novell, May Ship SUSE Linux · · Score: 1

    Early versions -- up to and including SuSE 9, the most recent. I know because every time install SuSE on a new box I forget about this. I go to print and the printer sits there telling me to insert A4 size paper. Doh.

  2. Re:iFolder is really cool on Novell Makes More Open Source Moves · · Score: 1

    The cool thing about Salvage is that you don't need to worry about point-in-time snapshots of your filesystem. It's just "always on". If you delete a file, and recreate 20 times in 10 minutes your snapshot might have one copy of one of your files. Salvage will bring up a list of every file you created and ask you which one you want back! It's very different... Snapshots are Microsoft's answer to Salvage as well. They are calling it ShadowCopy.

  3. Never? on YaST to Become Open Source · · Score: 1

    I use a customized XF86Config file, and several times using YaST it's overwritten it. At the top of XF86Config it reads "Created by SaX2, don't change this!" or something similar. Problem is, their tool can't do what I need it to do. I end up keeping a copy of my good config and copying it over the one that YaST/SaX2 likes to overwrite.

  4. Now runs Linux... on Live Windows Bootable CDs for Sysadmins · · Score: 1

    We just got a couple Dell PE2650s and 1750s where I work and I noticed that the Server Assistant CD now runs under Linux rather than NT. You can even switch to alternate consoles and tinker around if you like.

  5. Windows -- Small corner? on Review - Mac OS X Server 10.3, Part 1 · · Score: 2, Funny
    ...but I confess to a crippling ignorance and apathy about this small corner of the computing world.

    I'm not sure if this is a joke or if this is a typical Mac user's view of the computing landscape today.

  6. Re:What Linux is still to give me on OSDL Announces Desktop Initiative · · Score: 1

    Novell is using Ximian Red Carpet as a replacement for its ZenWorks line. Red Carpet is actually pretty nice and very easy to use.

  7. Re:How long till KDE can be the DE? on Konqueror Compiled For Mac OS X; KOffice Next · · Score: 1

    Uhh...Hey dude, install a PPC distro of Linux. Be happy with your KDE apps.

  8. OT, but what about Evolution? on Konqueror Compiled For Mac OS X; KOffice Next · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Konqueror, okay. But we've got alternatives to that all over the place. The Linux app I really want to see on Mac OS X is Ximian Evolution. I've used Apple's alternative, but I really like the way Evolution ties into Exchange, and soon to be Novell Groupwise.

    Is porting Gnome apps that much more difficult? Programming-challenged poster here...

  9. Re:Majority of Fortune 1000 runs IIS - followup on Slashback: Matrix, Terminology, Topology · · Score: 1

    I read this. The gist is that you build a bootable linux CD (LiveCD, whatever you wan tto call it) that would glean the settings from your Windows server automatically configure Samba to deliver identical service. While there are several major hurdles to making this possible, I think first and foremost is that you'd have read-only access to the existing NTFS filesystem. Barring using some sort of NTFS.SYS wrapper (as was mentioned last week on Slashdot -- major performance hit), people won't be able to modify their files at all.

    Group policy and Active Directory are a whole other sticking point. An interesting idea, but I don't think we're there yet.

  10. Re:No vell, no thanks on Novell & SUSE In Link Up? · · Score: 2, Insightful
    Why are you "deleting" servers with Read/Write replicas anyhow? This is an adminsitrative education problem, not a problem with NDS. Remove NDS replicas, then remove the server from the tree.

    Try deleting an Active Directory domain controller and see if that doesn't throw a wrench into your domain. Same deal...

  11. Re:Releasing patches too frequently? on Yet Another Critical Windows Flaw · · Score: 1

    I've heard folks from Microsoft say that there is an obvious corelation between the time they offer security patches and the appearance of public exploit code on the internet. Whether it's the patches being reverse engineered or whether black hats have a new place to focus their energies based on the security bulletin, it makes sense. Of course, this only applies to vulnerabilities found by Microsoft or by people that coordinate releases of vulnerabilities with Microsoft. In fact, they're moving to a monthly patch release schedule instead of a weekly schedule based on this (with exceptions allowed for new vulnerabilities being exploited in the interim). Hopefully it'll make the lives of Windows admins out there a little bit easier.

  12. Re:NTFS on What Will Be in Linux 2.7? · · Score: 1

    Aren't the Sysinternals guys using licensed Microsoft DLLs to accomplish this?

  13. Re:Check out UDPP2P on New Kazaa Lite Protects Identity · · Score: 1
    Even Novell NetWare was unable to scale because of SAP (service advertising protocol).

    I think it would be more accurate to say that Novell Netware in an IPX environment was unable to scale due to SAP.

    Netware has been using Service Location Protocol in place of SAP and IP to communicate rather than IPX since Netware 5.0.

    Not to pick nits...

    I mount several Netware server volumes via fstab. These are NDS and not bindery conections.

  16. Re:Phish has a non-free EULA on Phish Moves To FLAC · · Score: 4, Informative
    I've never had a problem with the no-advertising clause. (I've been running Phishcast for the past 4 or 5 years.)

    In a sense, maybe my site isn't entirely "free" (freedom), but not having any advertising ensures that the music itself stays "free" in just about every sense of the word.

    It's the music that's most important to fans of the band, and to operators of fan sites. I've never had a problem with the fact that I can't make money on a product the band gives me for free.

    Even if I could, I wouldn't.
