  1. A gaps I know of... on Ask Slashdot: What Does the FOSS Community Currently Need? · · Score: 2

    A network mapping software with a modern UI. It should be able to use CDP, LLDP, MAC tables.. Bonus points for IPAM.

    Making the puppet for network devices more complete and / or providing an alternative.

    I reply with goatse

  3. Counterstrike server on What Did You Do First With Linux? · · Score: 1

    This was when roadrunner was introduced to my area and they hadn't yet capped the upload down to nothing. I believe it was redhat 7. It was an old desktop we had laying around. It ran CS (beta 6 maybe?) with 24 people in it great.

  4. Yet to respond on FBI Seizes All Servers In Dallas Data Center · · Score: 1
    CBS 11 News emailed Simpson about the raid, but as of Thursday evening he had yet to respond.

    Because they took his servers, duh!

  5. Re:Just use Zimbra!? on Exchange Comes To Linux As OpenChange · · Score: 1

    They have an Outlook connector which works very well, maybe that's what the parent was referring to. Zimbra desktop is still beta for a reason ( not google beta ).

  6. Re:Security administration? on Microsoft to Issue Emergency Patch For File-Sharing Hole · · Score: 1

    This would be a start: http://www.redhat.com/promo/ipa/

  7. Can't do it alone? on Canonical Offers Sale of Proprietary Codecs for Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    Fedora 9 already has the option to buy codecs built into the media player.

  8. Bad upgrade on The London Stock Exchange Goes Down For Whole Day · · Score: 5, Informative

    The article here blames it on some sort of botched upgrade.

  9. Damnit... on VMware ESXi Available For Free Starting Today · · Score: 1

    Well I just bought this a few months ago... oh well

  10. Better way for FF to handle it on What Would It Take To Have Open CA Authorities? · · Score: 1

    IMHO Firefox should have a bar pull down from the top like the password saver or the pop-up blocker warning you its self signed. Enough to let you know, but not too much to disrupt you from actually using the site.

    The current ominous warning is a bit much I think.

  11. Re:Off-line RSS reader for Linux? on What RSS Feeds Do You Use? · · Score: 2, Informative

    I use Liferea, pretty decent gnome reader. Otherwise if you're a KDE fan there's akregator.

  12. Above already on Firefox Appears Ready to Crack 20% Share Next Month · · Score: 1

    My company's site, a small biotech, is consistently around 30% according to Google Analytics

  13. Re:I disagree. on IBM's Inexpensive Notes/Domino Push Against MS · · Score: 1

    No mod points, so I'll just agree with you here. We just moved off Oracle Collab Suite, it was a nightmare. The Outlook connector is terrible, frequently crashing, and often the only solution for users was to resync their whole box which often took hours. The web mail was pretty crappy too, and patches were a pain in the ass. We went to Zimbra and haven't looked back.

  14. This is very odd considering.. on Red Hat Avoids Desktop Linux, Says Too Tough · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I just got an email from Red Hat yesterday telling me about all the benefits of switching all of our desktops to Red Hat, using Lotus Notes / Domino as the collab suite. http://www.lotusonredhat.com/ See the Linux client migration guide on the left.

    Try it without local admin privledges... still fud?

  17. Re:Mozilla could do some things better on Firefox Struggling to Compete as Corporate Browser · · Score: 1

    I do like the portable app idea, maybe I could look into sharing it out from a common folder to simplify updating

  18. Re:Mozilla could do some things better on Firefox Struggling to Compete as Corporate Browser · · Score: 1

    I am not adverse to the lower maintenance, and that is why I currently do deploy it. I'd just like it to be a little less hassle, and get back a few things IE has.

  19. Mozilla could do some things better on Firefox Struggling to Compete as Corporate Browser · · Score: 5, Informative

    I currently deploy Firefox to our corporate workstations, however there are definitely things that Mozilla could do to make Firefox more corporate friendly.

    1. No first part MSIs. The majority of our workstations here are Windows XP. Mozilla doesn't put out an MSI build. There are a few groups that do, such as Frontmotion, but there is always some delay for them to rebuild.

    2. Management through group policy, or some other way to lock it down. IE does this very well, Mozilla's default install really doesn't offer anything, Frontmotion's build has some options, but it's not as good.

    3. Better support for restricted users and roaming profiles. We turn auto updates off, but our users still manage to try to run it occasionally. If they do Firefox downloads the update, fails to install due to lack of permissions, and then gives them an error until someone goes into the user's profile and deletes it. There can be some wackiness for people moving around between workstations as well.

  23. Some peope do.. on Do You Get a UNIX Workstation at Work? · · Score: 1

    I work at a small biosciences company. The IT and dev departments can run whatever they want, and are responsible for maintaining their own machines. All of our dev guys run some variant of Linux, and rdesktop to a VMWare server running Windows VMs to do testing of our Java apps. Other departments, however, have to run XP and use Outlook as the client for our groupware. It makes sense to only have one platform to support novice users on, but Outlook can be a real pain.
