I have been using it in raid5 on a file server running centos3.3 first and then fedora3 and its just terrible.. to the point of unusable.
There is a thread on redhat bugzilla relating to the 3ware performance problems that is almost a year old and still no resolution afaik (although I haven't yet tried rhel4).
Just about to order a replacement so this article was well timed indeed!
Reminds me o' the days when I used te come back from ard days graft down pit and tuck in to a steaming slab of black pudding washed down with a pint of bitter.. aye thems were the days.. back before scargill or some such bloke invented this ere utopian interweb thingumy..
Is there anything/enough in rhel4 that isn't in fc3 to make it worth the upgrade? I'm using fc3 on a file server at the moment (switched from centos3.3 after endless problems with a 3ware9500 which fc3 only partially solved).
Seems like a looong time and by the time the all new version with go faster stripes in completed there will probably be loads of hot new technology that would be better at the job if only the launch is delayed another 12 months or so while its rebuilt.. and and so the circle begins..
May as well just fix/upgrade the one thats up there.
despite the fact that PCs can do all they do and much more.
Probably most people don't really know this though.. they probably see a PC as something to write word docs, surf the net or play games on and very little else.
My grandad used to roll in from the pub, drunk as a *unt and fire up the old pianola so he could pretend to be playing the piano.. no doubt he'd be equally skillful with a robotic guitar..
I have centos 3.3 installed on my old toshiba laptop.. chose the 'minimal' centos installation to keep it small and light since its not exactly a speed demon laptop and disk space was quite limited.
I then installed xfce (previous version) manually (one annoying dependency at a time;)) on top of it. As it was a minimal centos install I had no kde, gnome or any other graphical desktop thingy installed.. so now its just xfce with whatever dependencies it required..
There were many many dependencies to install but still it zips along nicely now with none of the useless clutter that normally seems to come with 'all things to all people' desktop environments these days.
Have to admit it is a pretty good series anyway.. I was a bit wary when they announced strange changes from the original like turning Starbuck into a foxy blonde chick but it worked! Excellent stuff.
Its not such a bad idea to make security cameras publicly viewable (although allowing the public to conrtol them is another matter) for example it essentially gives you a whole world full of witnesses to whatever events may happen..
Lets say your local friendly 'protection' dude wanders in to your shop one day asking for money 'or else'.. you can either..
a) inform him that his every move is being watched by a million slashdotters..
b) pull your gun out from under the counter and blow his brains out - then tell the police there's plenty of witnesses to interview..;)
What on earth (or mars) was spielberg doing using the narrator from night rider and all those other crap action series?
Considering war of the worlds is supposed to be based in england it would seem to make more sense using british talent and locations.. but spielberg seems to have decided to change the location and all that entails as well as the time period.. what a disaster.. wonder if thunderchild will be a stealth bomber?!
I hope at least he left the martians in it!
For anyone that does not know the story I recommend you head over to project gutenberg and download the free ebook.. its an entertaining yarn..
Anyway, much as it would be nice to live so long I am sure it will lead to serious civil unrest, revolutions, wars etc. for many reasons such as..
1. if only the rich can afford it the poor (me) will rise up..
2. if everyone gets it the planet will fill up and resources will diminish faster than alternatives or solutions can be found then human nature will naturally lead to conflicts.
Either way we are all doomed.. netcraft conf.. oh never mind.
Having said that I don't care - I want to live forever!!;)

..do you speak it?! ;)
Because we're human..
Ok that probably only means anything to dedicated B5 fans but I don't care.. I'm a B5aholic.. ;)
Can't beat a nice bit of fried pigs blood! ;)
Anyone know if they fixed this rather serious problem yet?
hot! Tea growers in india are still reaping the benefits of Picards fondness for the brew! Not to mention also the Romulan ale brewers.. ;)
Has dispatched the fleet already.. tally ho!

They are just resellers but I think they sell at a loss or at least at cost price to bring in the server clients.

uh huh.. he said 'handle cleavage'.. huh uhuh.. ;)
But seriously (kind of) I doubt mans reaction or behaviour towards cleavage is in any danger of changing.. ya can't chain nature down!

They should team up with Aubrey de Grey down south - surely they could as easily produce fresh skin and bones to keep us all looking young..
Count Dracula 'fixed' the aging thing centuries ago.. ;)
Do you promise not to use this for illegal purposes under penalty of (my) jailtime?
Yes
Cool, Click here to search for Shrek2.
Either that or move out of cali quick..
I mean it sounds great and all but maybe its a case of 'better the devil you know'..
