I'm an admin rather than a programmer, but when I write code, I'm usually pretty easy going with my color schemes, as long as the background is black and I can read the comments.
vim by default leaves the comments in shell scripts as a dark, dark blue, which makes it almost impossible to see. A little lighter is fine.
Ah, but they they couldn't suggest videos to you. After all, how would you find more midget porn and pirated My Little Ponies episodes if they didn't suggest content for you?
Before you go getting yourself into a career you're not interested in, maybe you should decide what you want to do.
It might help if you could narrow down what you DON'T want to do, as that might steer you in the right direction.
If you're a detail person, management might not be your strong suit. If you hate the idea of working with code, you might not want to get into databases, as a large portion of your time will probably be spent creating SQL scripts.
Just sit back and think about it. What parts did you like, and gravitate towards those skillsets.
At least now, there's hope that this will be fixed and improved upon.
This is a really responsible way to "end of life" a product. Release the source code to the community so that the dedicated users aren't stranded hopelessly.
I take it that it will do external authentication, not break NFS permissions, has some kind of sane authentication, and supports redundant hot-swappable hardware?

Interesting. How are the user administration tools for that? What kind of security controls does it provide, and does it support NFS?

If only everything supported RAID6. Maybe eventually, but until that happens, RAID5 with at least one hot-spare or RAID10 with a hot-spare on devices that don't support RAID6

You're right, it's significantly better, at the expense of pretty big loss of usable data.
On top of that, lots of devices don't use RAID10 yet. RAID5 with hotspare(s) is acceptable for most applications, especially with disk speeds anymore.
Don't use a NAS device

Let me say this, as someone who runs a small network which has something like 10TB of total storage, don't use a NAS device if you want anything more complex than a samba server with (probably) no security. Use a server with either attached storage, internal storage, or SAN storage.
NAS devices suck. Either that administration is tedious and incomplete or nearly nonexistent.
Are you hoping that your NFS permissions work right? They won't, at least without massive configuration on your part. Are you relying on the data always being available? It won't be, because even the semi-expensive ones use junk hardware. Wanting high availability solutions? Don't even think about a NAS device. Most of them don't have hot-swappable power supplies, hard drives, or anything else.
They're essentially toys, overpriced, underpowered, hard to configure toys that break far too often.
Use a dedicated fileserver. Do yourself a favor. I've got 2 snap machines (one with expanded storage), an IOMega StorCenter, and they're all crap. The other one's I've investigated are crap. Use a real machine.

Ah. Bummer.
You have to admit, it would look pretty cool with flashing lights going through it, though ;-)
Nice howto. Thanks!
Not being a guitar player, I have to ask...
Is it the density, mass, or maybe the structure?
Would a quartz guitar play amazingly?
Do those LED taillights drive you crazy too?
My wife can't see them flash. I can tell the LED ones from a mile away. It freaks me out.
It might go a log way to preventing them from producing undesirable harmonics.
Anyone know of any studies which looked at the waveforms to find unique qualities?
weird. I meant flicker. Damn you flickr for corrupting my spelling!
Back when I played FPS's, I would be able to see flickr on TV. People thought I was crazy, too.
With CRTs, refresh rate was a big deal, so that might have been part of it.
If your monitor's refresh rate was equal to the ambiant lighting's refresh rate, you could almost guarantee a headache

It would be a "shame" if they, say, dropped them on the way to the office.
Without the heads parked, of course.
And they just HAD to stop and get that loose grip looked at...in an MRI machine...
Yes. One definitely prevents someone from tasting like bacon.
As much as I hate to say it, I agree with ibmjones.
I've never met an IT worker worth their salt who didn't do at least a little programming, whether shell scripts or excel macros.
If you're in IT and you can't or won't program, you're probably answering a phone.

Well, not until those are released, he's not.
Then all is well.

Thanks a lot for the info. I'm definitely going to be looking into it. It sounds like it could solve several problems at once
No, I haven't. I'll have to research it.

Wow, that's a heck of a setup.
My friend is a test engineer who deals with a lot of the same things I see on your site. I'll send him the URL as well. Thanks a lot!
wow, it sounds like you've got an excellent setup for a home business. Do you do mostly consulting, or are you a contractor for specialized projects?
