  1. Re:This is just great! on Microsoft to Release 6 Security Updates Next Week · · Score: 1

    If you can't reinstall windows without killing a seperate partition you need to turn over your nerd hat. Hint reinstall windows. Oh no my bootloader!!!!! Relax boot knoppix, and reinstall the mbr using the grub command. Don't know how to use grub? RTFM

    There is some merit to what you and others are saying on these topics. Look at the flip side of all of this though. For the most part email services are not ideal using just Exchange. It is the collaborative features that most seek in these systems. I tend to use smtp gateways using spamassassin, amavisd, clamav etc before email ever touches exchange. Now as far as the % numbers of how close to exchange you can get you have to remember linux is not windows. You typically do not install monolithic binary packages and get features a-z. You tend to install components that add up to a full system. The more you work the closer you get. You want to have all the whiz bang collaboration features that exchange offers? Install more modules for your webmail system. Or you could use the the Evolution teams advancements to outline a server that mimics what they have found. http://www.gnome.org/projects/evolution/ I'm sure most people expect the whole "you could write it" argument by now. But Lets be honest everything that is open source is easily extended. Yes in some cases the work is not done, but it has to be done if you want the alternative.

    Are you sure you don't mean Opteron? I don't know about you but I tend to use server chips in my servers...

    I believe it BoB has many members that work for CCP...They are known to cheat whenever they might loose a battle. One of the things that has me getting fed up w/ Eve.

    As I read this the total population of second life is 902,643....Where do they get "millions?"

    I don't think eudora was an odd product for them at all. Especially considering they are responsible for Qpopper.

  7. Re:Yeah, OK. Microsoft, get your act together. on AMD Announces Quad Core Tape-Out · · Score: 1

    I never had problems when I used an audigy gamer for ASIO 5.1 in cubase. The only issue you run into when your hardware is fully functional is bottlenecks. It is amazing to me how much I can throw at my Dual processor Dual core Opteron. The best thing to do when buying your system is to research your components, and buy quality not bargain.

    On the other hand, as was allready stated by some other posters. 64 bit drivers for alot of devices just are not there yet. I actually only run 64bit linux distros on the Opteron box. Windows has to be 32bit due to my new audio hardware just not having 64bit drivers. I am just hoping Digidesign will take care of me before Vista ships...

  8. Re:Novell more unstable than Xen on Novell Defends 'Unstable' Xen Claims · · Score: 2, Informative

    I don't think Novell needed to have any assistance acquiring SuSE. Novell has for many years thought that linux was the tool with which they could make inroads on the desktop market. Not only that, they had been firmly partnered with SuSE as they were another company that did much of their work in Germany. Not to mention their common goal of linux to the desktop.

    Now to be critical of Novell. I have used SuSE both before, and after the Novell buyout. And to be honest I had much more confidence in their earlier systems stabilities. I manage quite a few linux boxen, and most are SuSE. (My boss is a Novell junkie to a fault.) My favorite boxes are inevitably the Debian-stable boxes. Yast is a foul stumbling block if you ask me. And I have had some trouble with features they say are ready for production. If the feature you want relys on a kernel module that is experimental then that feature, and/or your box will only be as stable as that module...No matter how much Novell insists otherwise. I will mention though that I have not found Xen to be an issue. It runs just as well as my patched vanilla kernels on other boxes.

  9. Re:Vista? on Is Windows Vista Ready? 'No. God, no.' · · Score: 1

    Last time I checked you are allowed to move a retail box copy of Windows to your new PC, but OEM's die with the machine. Dell sells Redhat or Suse on servers, and most of their product line without an OS . (Oddly enough the No OS option says: Microsoft add $0)

  10. Re:I'm still looking for Mechassault on The Xbox 360 Uncloaked · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What everyone seems to overlook on this topic is that MechAssault is not the only title that had this exploit in it. There were at least three different games that had it. Mechassault, 007, and Splintercell (The original title). Now both MechAssault, and 007 have been fixed. However they NEVER fixed the exploit in SplinterCell. Every version of the original SplinterCell released, including the Platinum Hits version includes the exploit. The last time I grabbed the game for this purpose, i got it at a Game Stop for under $5 US. Not to mention there was a stack of at least ten of them....So stop beating yourself up, and buy Splinter Cell.

    Oh, and just so you guys know the splintercell gamesave is found in the usual places in the same directory as the MechAssault gamesave.
