  1. Re:Alternatives? on Network Solutions Advertises On Your Sub-Domains · · Score: 1

    I've been reading about the evils of Network Solutions and GoDaddy and the like. I was wondering if anyone had any alternatives to recommend for anyone looking for a decent registrar? Thanks in advance. In the past few years, I've moved all of my domains from Network Solutions and Register.com to Omnis.com. They include robust DNS services with their very low registration rates.
  2. ten windows for me on How Many Windows? · · Score: 1

    Hmm; let's see. Right now: Opera, four tabs; one is my office's bb2.html. Firefox; tab count varies depending on what I'm doing; two right now. Thunderbird. xplorer2; one pane, two tabs right now. ActionOutline. iTunes. PuTTY; with nine screens on the far side. Two OneNote 2007 notes that need to be filed. And I'm writing this in Papyrus.

    That's ten windows, scattered across my laptop's display and a 19" flat panel, running Windows XP.

  3. Re:old skool linux on Advanced Programming in the UNIX Env, 2nd Ed. · · Score: 1

    2.4.22 isn't really old, not in the business world. Red Hat will be maintaining the 2.4 kernel in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 (RHEL 3) for a number of years to come.

    Of the twenty-odd Linux servers I maintain here at work, most are running Red Hat 7.x, with the Opterons running RHEL 3. All are 2.4-based.

    I'm upgrading one RHEL 3 server to RHEL 4 (with a 2.6 kernel) tomorrow purely to remain under a vendor's maintenance argeement. I'm not really happy about it.

    My motto for systems administration: if it ain't broke, don't fix it. If it breaks and you can patch it without upgrading the OS, do that. Most RH8 and RH9 packages recompile fine in RH7 with a bit of tweaking. If they don't, then the source tarballs usually do.

    Typically, I'll replace the OS when I replace the hardware.
