I've got Telocity in Chicago (SDSL 784k for $49.95/month, current service offerings somewhat slower). The speed is great, the company allows ipnat, etc. - only problem is long hold for tech support (though I've only called in once and had no delay) and the lack of a status page. Recently a core router in the Chicago network kept rebooting (4-5 times a day) resulting in 15 minute periods of downtime. Everything was fixed within about five days from the onset of the blips. Besides the recent downtime I've experienced *no* problems with Telocity. The speed is truely phenominal!
Perhaps it is time for the temporary-permanent OpenBSD box? Set it up for the "time being" and soon weeds will be growing up around the edges. Of course I'm in a slightly less PHB place so this might not be an option - but you could try it!
Wow! Just the right mix of "can this guy really be true" and "what a toker." Congrats on the hilarious post. Now I hope this gets moderated to "funny" (or whatever the humor category is) and not flame bait! Or maybe it is just my lack of sleep...
While I'm no BSD zealot I think you took a few turns off the main road by accident with your example of Hotmail. The security holes were in Hotmail (the custom server software) not BSD.
I got one in the keep case too... Would have been a whole lot cooler if the post office hadn't ripped it up so much! Definately cooler than a piece of cardboard.
This sucks... Who makes the programming decisions there anyway? And why is the WTTW website hosted by tribune.com (least wttw.com is)... Maybe we could skip a few Antique Roadshows or British comedies (my mom watches them all) for something a bit more gripping.
Umm... If you are going to critize, perhaps it would be best to learn to critize *well*. One of the questioners called him a "rare" person. Perhaps a remedial reading class is in order? No offense, but posting crap like you just did makes you look like a stupid idiot.
I should have worded my previous response better - I wanted to know the name of your school for *my* benifit - not yours. Every little bit of information helps when trying to pick a college.
OpenBSD appears to be supported by donations and, drum roll, buying their CD-ROM. Because this is a very real form of support the OpenBSD team does not release an ISO image. The FAQ at openbsd.org has more details. I just installed v2.5 and have to say the sleekness of the complete install is very satisfying. It is running on an old 486 with a 314mb disk which is acting as a firewall and providing ip NAT to my LAN. Sweet! Now on to v2.6 in due time...
And btw, don't tar -zxvf it in your/usr/src directory if you have a kernel suorce in/usr/src/linux. The tar pops out to/linux... irratating for those who like to be tidy...
When you detach the User ID from the People page on the Domino web server you should rename the ID file to "user.id" otherwise the client will not recognize the file as an ID.
On Friday night I had downloaded the Lotus Domino R5 Gold install for Linux. I found a short guide to the installation at dominopower.com and followed that to complete the install. A few details that are different than the guide at dominopower.com
9. Once set up, go back to the Linux server and type "/opt/lotus/bin/server" and watch it start up. Note you don't get the ">" prompt on the console but don't worry, you can just type commands as normal.
I got the error messages "notes.ini not found". The solution was to add the install directories to the $PATH (for system wide/etc/profile, for just the notes user ~/.profile).
10. If you didn't choose to have Domino start the http task automatically, then type "start http" at the console. Next, use your browser to open http://:8081/names.nsf and detach the user ID from your document.
First of all "start http" is an error, this should be "load http". I had elected to have the http process start up automatically. It wasn't clear to me whether I needed to disable my current http server (thttp) so I did so to be on the safe side. Thus the second part of the instructions above ("http://:8081/names.nsf") didn't work as Domino was now on port 80 (standard web port). So simply replace this with "http:///names.nsf" if you had no http server running before the Domino installation. You will be prompted for a login and password. This will be the one you setup when doing the install. To get to your user document simply click on "People" and select the user.
> The author does discuss some the 8081 information on the third page of the setup guide.
Now you are ready to setup a client (Windows or Macintosh) with the User ID. That is explanitory so go to it!
I'm doing same thing as you. There is a short guide at dominopower.com that is handy. To fix the "notes.ini not found" error you have to put/opt/lotus and/local/notesdata in your path for either the notes user (~/.profile)or the entire system (/etc/profile). Then it fired up ok for me. Now I have to figure out how to get in and use anything! Just have server.id and cert.id...
There is a short article on setting up Lotus Notes/Domino on Linux at DominoPower.com (http://www.dominopower. com/issues/issue199911/linux001.html). They also have one on setting up SAMBA... Kind of nice! And no, I don't work for them, just do Lotus Notes development and everthing else involving Lotus Notes for work...
I followed the thread last time on college and I agreed in the end it was worth it. But now I'm not so sure. A little more than two years of my life after high school were spent working in a corporate environment as, and for, a consultant. This got old and college loomed but I still didn't really want to go. Now I'm sitting through Introduction to Computers and all of the other cruft that has built up to expand to massive wastes of TIME!

Heh... No worries, just having too much fun...
wow! i'm wrong! can i rub the genie again...
any twit can spell moron... think up something better
Don't know... It didn't work for me on the first try about 20 min ago but now it is working fine. Must be the server change over...
I got one in the keep case too... Would have been a whole lot cooler if the post office hadn't ripped it up so much! Definately cooler than a piece of cardboard.

correct link?
