    LinuxCon North America 2011

    Some interesting comments coming out of there: Ask the world's most famous kernel developer what he thinks of the virtualization wars going on the Linux community between KVM and Xen and you'll hear a condemnation (of a sort) of them both. "I'm not a virtualization kind of guy. I think...

    Home Email Server?

    You could always setup a micro linux server on Amazon EC2 and send a request to remove the email sending limitations. You get the first year free to try it out.

    how to better secure smb share from linux to windows

    You can limit by IP to the share either globally or on a share basis. For example, to allow only the 192.168.0.0/24 network access to my 'stuff' folder this would do it: [stuff] path = /stuff writable = yes hosts allow = 192.168.0. I wouldn't recommend using /etc/hosts.allow for...

    redhat - question how to apply changes to iptables

    # yum install system-config-firewall # yum install policycoreutils-gui That will install a user friendly front end for both iptables and selinux. SELinux has a bit of a learning curve but isn't that hard to grasp. As for enabling selinux and locking everything down, that's fine but...

    What to know before taking VCP course!

    Honestly these tests are a joke. I would say 90% of people cram for these multiple choice obscure questions and forget the material (because most of it isn't practical) within the next 3 months of passing the test. The only true IT certifications worth merit are hands on, know your shit or...

    My Droid review

    Just got my Droid last night. I'm completely blown away by this thing. I'm in an environment where I have to setup and configure iPhones and Blackberrys all the time. So I have plenty of experience with the caveats of some smart phones. I figured since my plan was up I would give this phone a...

    One Power Supply for Cluster

    Yeah it's going to be a bit expensive, but I need a hobby to keep me busy this winter. I plan on building a small tower and mounting the 4 boards on it to try and minimize the footprint. Should be fun!

    One Power Supply for Cluster

    Wow very cool project they are doing there. So to plug the separate pico psu's into each board and use one AC-to-DC adapter im guessing i would have to splice together the black and white connections of each psu so they can all go to one adapter? Is this correct...

    One Power Supply for Cluster

    I'm looking to get about (4) mini-itx boards and make a small cluster with them. I'm having problems figuring out how I can use (1) power supply for all four of these boards. If someone could post some links or information on how to accomplish this it would be appreciated. :confused:

    Windows 7 Upgrade with XP CD

    Wow this thread blew up, a lot of useful information here. So to summarize the double install method would be to install the upgrade version of win7 with no key on a fresh drive. Then install over-top that installation with the upgrade key? Sorry if this is redundant I just want to make...

    Windows 7 Upgrade with XP CD

    In the past you could do a clean install using upgrade media, provided you fed the system a disc proving that you owned the previous version of windows. Is this option available with Windows 7 upgrade?

    Slow Transfer to ESXi Datastore

    I'll give it a whirl. Is it possible for a VM to access the underlying datastore filesystem? If it is, I could probably just transfer the VM's to a VM on the datastore and transfer them that way? If that makes any sense ...

    Slow Transfer to ESXi Datastore

    Yes, that was a transfer from a workstation to the VM (IIS Server). Also from the VM to the workstation. The datastore for that VM is on the Buffalo.

    Slow Transfer to ESXi Datastore

    I'm also noticing slow transfers to the local datastore of the server. I tried out of curiosity to upload the VM to the local datastore and I was getting about 5-10mbps. Would this have anything to do with the VM's running while I'm transferring data?

    Slow Transfer to ESXi Datastore

    The iSCSI storage is Buffalo TeraStation's, I enabled Jumbo frames on it and still no go. That was the original client I started with. That is when I noticed how slow the transfer was.

    SCO: back from the dead? (court overturns Novell ownership of Unix ruling)

    SCO is already chapter 11. They are going to be taken apart and sold, bit by bit. They have HUGE debts to pay off. So even if they somehow pull out of debt and put up the funds for another legal battle IBM will chew them up and spit them out. Nothing to see here ... move along people. [Edit]...
