Re: [ilugd] Data card support on linux

2008-03-21 Thread Sudev Barar
Dear All,
 Do you have any idea regarding support of datacard. I have TATA USB
 datacard.Is driver available for this?
  

Step by step I have found that running tail -f /var/log/messages in
a terminal tells you if the device is recognised and as what. Tata
thingy is recognised as ttyACM0 while the Reliance old key was
recognised as ttyUSB0

After this it is simple matter of configuring the dialer software
kppp/wvdial/etc. with username password dialing number and init
string. Personally on Ubuntu/debian I prefer pppconfig with pon and
poff commands.

Look up archives for init strings of various devices.

I guess it is. What is it you want to ask, If it's very focussed towards and BSD
then you may like to use their mailing lists specifically.

Re: [ilugd] Virtualization software

2008-03-21 Thread Sharninder

  Has anyone tried running some kind of virtualization
  software in production on a Linux server and is there
  any feedback, comments, suggestions, benchmarks?


Yes, I've used xen and vmware and both have served me equally well.
Use vmware if you want the commercial support in a heavily loaded data
center. Use xen if you can handle the support yourself or can depend
on the community. In performance both are compareable and currently,
IMO, vmware has a lead in providing better management features with
the VI3 line. If you're looking to install a virtualisation software
on top of a linux distro, then your choice is between vmware
workstation or a xen patched kernel.

There are other virtualisation solutions also including kvm, lguest
all of which should serve you well for the usual test cases. In the
end your choice would depend on your use case and requirements.

Regards,
Sharninder

Disclaimer: I work for vmware.
