[ilugd] [OT] {Commercial?} IT Support for a Charity in Delhi
Hi, I am looking for someone ( small company, enthu and energy required ) who can help setup and then manage / support a small number of people who are working to start up a charity in Delhi. If you have done some similar work that would really help, however you are not expected to be a charity yourself - you will definitely get paid reasonable rates for the work done! While there is no reason or request from them to actually use Linux, they are very much OS agnostic and would prefer to work with non commercial solutions. And I would really like to use the opportunity to help the local Delhi Linux base. Unfortunately, I would need to break general LUG ethics and cant mention the name of the Charity at this point. what I can tell you is that they are backed by a large business house and are working in the area of medical aid generation and distribution. They have a few offices in Delhi and one in Gurgaon so you might need to move around a bit. Also, they would prefer if the support came from an external agency or from people working on a consulting / hourly rate rather than having to hire someone into their organisation. Sounds interesting ?

Its by far the best bang-for-the-buck you can get in the UK / US markets at the moment. And AMD really does not have anything in the same league. But then /me just widened the scope by thinking about AMD. look at it this way, in most cases where you need to push loads of data, AMD tends to be the better choice, if you need to push clock cycles, Intel does. I have no info on how good (or bad) linux runs on AMD. works fine, and you will get support for pretty much everything that might even be AMD specific like amd-v etc. But have read on forums that AMD is actually far ahead of intel. only in some areas, not everywhere :) but one place it is better is pushing data. So if you are looking at things like Databases, playing movies, playing games etc - AMD would definitely score higher than its corresponding intel chip at the same price point. btw, dont always believe it when people say AMD chips are cheaper than Intel ones - Compare chips that cost the same amount of money, and take cost out of the equation completely.

I am not saying anything along the lines of 'you dream up facts'- but what I am saying is that enforce your stuff with hard facts and numbers, people are more likely to understand exactly what you are trying to achieve, and the circumstances under which they apply. eg. saying use linux and apache because they are better than windows and iis, does not have the same appeal as - use linux and apache since it can give you 8.5% [1] higher delivery rate on php generated content than iis on win2k3 server.

Not meaning to be rude, but a lot of stuff in this email is actually misinformation and downright misleading. Have you actually done any tests to highlight these issues ?

I can physically demonstrate an ext3 filesystem outperform xfs on a standard database load. Frederick Noronha [फ्रेडरिक नोरोन्या] wrote: lot of junk in there that you may never require.

These are two lovely features but both of 'em degrade performance considerably. again, how much is 'considerable' in your books ?

Lastly, I have been chasing them to update their own subcription databases and then they said to wait since they follow everything with US technical team, which is again a not less then a week project. Finally redhat give us trial version of RHEL which then later linked to licensed copy of RHEL. See the pain here is we paid the licenses months ago but we end up installing nearly 15 boxes with trial version of RHEL. I really cant parse this Also, i didnt realise there was something different with the RHEL trial version and the subscription version ( specially during the trial period ). And I've never had more of an issue than just transferring the rhn entitlements over to new machines or new versions when they come out. Same is the case with SUSE support, vendors/retailers take their money and gone! For them it is a very minute issue if some license does't work,or some problem is there. That is also quite an interesting statement - SuSe has , by far, had the best support setup inhouse for years and years, I remember talking to people back in 2000 - 2001 and getting kernel patches out from them overnight to handle specific issues. While this has *significantly* gone down in recent years, its not really that bad, to be completely written off. And a lot of that talent has moved into VAR's and associated business post Novel, should you want, I am happy to put you in touch with some of them. shameless plug perhaps you need someone to come in and manage the setup for you ? if you let me know where you are based and what setup you have, I'd be happy to trot along with a quote /plug What i feel is ok, you take support from Redhat/SUSE but at the same time, a person should't loose his right to discuss such problems in public forums unless it is meant only for FOSS. You will actually find that Gora's initial response was in your real interest - mailing lists are not a real substitute for a support contract - even when you might sometimes get a faster response here ( hey, IRC will beat mailing lists hands down on speed of response ) - but when you have a supported platform, your first call should always be to the people supporting it. Not only is it their responsibility, they will ( or should ) have a process-to-resolution recommendation / execution plan. Depending on the situation, not adhering to that p-2-r plan will invalidate your support even. btw, if you really are having so many issues with your support providers and having to live off the handholding and spoonfeeding in the lists, why bother paying redhat / suse / mandriva at all ? and go the CentOS route - You can bring in local talent and feed the open source ecosystem a lot better. - KB -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

[ilugd] [commercial]
Hi, We ( DSource Plc ) are looking to hire 3 ( three ) sysadmins in India. I am going to try and cover the details, briefly - feel free to send questions my way; either onlist or offlist. Also, if you know someone who might be interested,feel free to forward this email to them. Job Spec: While the job is primarily system admin and network management, there is a fair bit of 'script coding' that is also required. Required: The Indian operation is just starting off, so initial work will require a fair bit of remote 'pairing'. We are also going to be spending a few months in India onsite at a client, so expect to be thrown right into the firezone. Technologies that should not be strange to you : Linux ( we are a 100% CentOS / RHEL shop ), Xen, selinux, puppet ( and/or cfengine ), isp grade networks ( routing, packet monitoring and performance testing ), high performance database's, high density storage, large data volume handling. You *must* be able to write scripted code in ruby. Python and php are also handy to know - but not required - since lots of our legacy stuff is done in python and php ( dont ask, the php stuff was before my time ... ). We dont really care about what degree you have. we also dont care if you got 60% or 90% in your exams or what certificates you carry along with you. But, you need to be able to communicate in English, must have atleast a few years of working in a related environment. Common sense and an ability to rationally think are, however, critical! General sysadmin skills are essential ( we will test you on these ). People with a well thumbed copy of 'unix power tools' should definitely apply! All assignments are permanent, full time and come with the govt requirements for benefits etc. Location: We are looking for people based in Pune, Delhi and Chennai as a base. However, for people based in Delhi and Chennai there will be a frequent ( not exceeding 4 working days / month ) requirement to travel to Pune. Type of Employer: The Company is a infrastructure management consulting service, where we offer systems and network services to clients. We have 27 people working full time and 8 people part-time in the UK. And a further 6 people in Australia. Agile and XP practises are a cornerstone of the management style ( in that there is really no management, the entire organisation tree is very flat ). Salary and Benefits: You get paid pretax's Rs.80,000/- a month. We expect you to work 38 hrs per week. We also only work half-days on Wednesdays. There maybe a requirement to work weekends, but only after suitable advance notice ( mostly to handle infrastructure outage that cant happen during the work week ). There is a 6 months trial run period, wherein you get to see what we do and if you want to work with us, and we get to see if we want you working with us. Interview process: 1. Send me a CV. 2. We call you for a quick chat on the phone. ( 20 min ). 3. Have a longer ( 3 hrs estimate ) sysadmin 'pair' session. 4. Fix a time and have a longer ( 1 hr ) developer 'pair' session. 5. People get hired.

Re: [ilugd] RHEL upgrade
Hi Yashpal, Yashpal Nagar wrote: Probably that is why i did't send it to Redhat List. I don't want to understand here what Redhat support and what does't and what is entitlement. You do need to know that if you ever want to talk to them later on and ask for help / support on issues. So talk to them anyway. What i want to understand is since we are moving the arch 32 bit OS to 64 bit and also crossing the RHEL AS to ES, what will happen to glibc and other libraries, will redhat installation overwrite them with 64 bit or will keep 32bit and also install 64bit libararies. Will there be any issue such as library conflict ? The main diff in ES and AS is in what RH will support you with on the machine, and the number of cores you can really use within that entitlement. It does not really have any difference in the code and binaries themselves. Secondly, hade you decide how you are going to do the upgrade itself ? I would recommend you setup a vmware hosted environ ( not Xen ) and rsync the present OS root into there, and play around - work with options, there are quite a few ways of making this move - and depending on how critical this is, or how much of time you are ready to spend with it - doing a trial run inside a virtual machine would we well worth it. What ever you do, DO make backups and DO create a VM image of the present machine! now, to your question - EL4 has a direct upgrade path from EL3 - and on the x86_64 platform. So all your 32bit'ness should work fine under EL4 since it contains all the major compat-foo stuff needed. Also, the x86_64 EL4 is multilib right through, end to end. While there maybe things that dont run, the systemspace is well split, so adding fluff to achieve the goal is mostly trivial ( with user $clue, you've been active on this sort of issues for a while, so my guess is you have that ). Remember, once you move, and unless you disable selinux from the first stage ( pre-install, during install and post install ) your ext3 filesystem, once migrated, will no longer be usable on EL3 - so its a way one street. Some people have documented reverse path as well, I've not tried it and this is significant enough an issue to mention here. I have spoken to redhat help desk which as usual first difficult to understand what is the question and recommended me a fresh format. If you can, thats not a unwise suggestion. You really should not be thinking of doing a live migration anyway, use the installer to move you rather than userland package manager.

If the user wants to do device driver/kernel development, the developers insist to use stock kernels from kernel.org, not the distro kernels. The distro kernels are heavily patched by the distro kernel maintainers. This is usually[1] not true with Rawhide since so much of kernel upstream is actually using it themselves. Not only kernel, a very large number of upstream work on the Linux platform is based on and around rawhide. You will also find that patches are regularly committed against older branches even at kernel.org I am presently working on a 2.6.9 patch for ext4 that i hope to push upstream, since its likely to be of use to a lot of people. And I regularly sync Xen's 2.6.x patchset to 2.6.9. IF all development for everything only happened in Trunk/Head - things are going to get rather bleak for linux outside academic and developer communities. Patches/enhancements to the kernel are done against stock kernels, and may not apply cleanly to distro kernels. Yes, but take that with a pinch of sald since this changes a lot - eg, a lot of enterprise grade h/w vendors ship drivers specific to a kabi used with the release, to avoid needing a ko rebuild every time the kernel updates. Some of these people ( 3ware and Areca are famous for this ) wont support your system running a kernel.org kernel at all. On the other hand, a lot of functionality is built against a requirement ( think ydl doing the ps3 stuff in linux ), and that development too happens against a static target then merged up later ( I am not sure if all the boot stuff even made it upstream as yet.. ) And if you just need to enable options in the kernel tree already running, nothing is easier than doing it via a manageable package route, makes maintaining it really easy. anyway, i think this started out as a how-to-rebuild a kernel, and i still think if you are using Fedora, use the rawhide kernel. Or if you really cant wait 48 hrs or so, use the spec there to build a kernel.org image if you like. - KB [1] A lot of people working on the kernel actually prefer a semi stable kernel since that allows them to focus on what they are doing and the part of the source tree they are working with while keep an eye on changes that might affect them, they really dont want the daily patch grind stamping on their system regularly, or till merge anyway. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

guys, While I am sure there are a million other places where this issue might be raised, this forum seems to be just as good as any to moan about BOSS-nrsfoss stuff. Does anyone know why the open source distro that the c-dac guys are putting together is shut down behind such closed doors ? They seem to have no functional mailing list, the irc channel gets almost zero traffic and there is no timeline / feature scope docs or anything of that nature online at all. So who is doing what / when / why / and how can others get involved and help ? Is it a case of a few people at cdac just being paid to work on whatever they like, and do so with whatever communications means they prefer ( I bet since they are single location based, most comms is face to face and on classic desi style - on paper ) Maybe someone just needs to go knock on their door and tell them how this sort of a thing should be done ? Or then just wrap up the open source side of things, and say its an internal cdac project and everyone else can just go get lost. /vent - KB -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

Re: [ilugd] deb vs. rpm
Hi Manoj, I am not sure what brought about this comparison so will refrain from being overly verbose.. Manoj Srivastava wrote: Hi, It might be instructive to compare package file formats on a purely technical level: http://kitenet.net/~joey/pkg-comp/ This is a fairly authoritative document, and well worth understanding. good read indeed. Here follows commentary on the major points of difference oj just the rpm and deb format (please read the URL for details regarding other package formats). 1) Data unpack-able by standard tools, meta-data accessible by standard tools, and ability to create a .deb with standard (non distribution specific) tools: .debs are just ar archives of tar-balls, and can be unpackaged, inspected, and created using cp, chmod, ar and tar. rpm's need a special tool. Now, why is this important at all? Well, think of a classified environment, where you do not want to rely on the packaged tool to help you with forensics; but you have a trusted solaris box. rpm's are cpio achieves, its easy to yank the payload out ( but yes, much of the metadata and header-non-payload is lost ). 2) Package relationships: The .deb format has a more nuanced set of relationships, incorporating recommendations and suggested packages, and orders packages by priority as well as group. hinting by way of suggests and enhances are available in rpm, just not widely used. PLD ( iirc ) were the first guys to start deploying enmass such functionality. Personally, I am of the opinion that file dependencies are a mixed bag; they complicate the package dependency graph with edges that are different from a package dependency; added to the less nuanced dependency and priority information, they make the installation ordering of rpm's far less sophisticated. while not directly related to your statement ... rpm does have the ability to ( if the user so wants, I've not seen this deployed in a package management system as yet ) include perl / python / ruby deps directly as well. So if a rpm package wants a certain perl-module to exist, rpm can check for the existence of that perl-module even if its not mentioned in the package metadata manifest for the machine. so given that pretty much every language devloper ( and his dog ) are trying to come up with means of sub-language-functionality-delivery ( php-pear, perl-cpan, ruby-gem etc etc ), a smart way to handle some part of this and overlap this info (?) with the system package metadata manifest is going to be important issue to work on, for any packaging system. order, and rolling back failed installation. rpm does installations on a best effort basis, and thus failures at critical stages leave the system in an untenable state. while this is true, its important to note that a proper package management / repo management system on top of rpm like yum or smartpm or apt-rpm should only hand down package sets in a single transaction. If that happens, rpm wont break anything - problems are reported quite loud and clear, except for when there is a deploop that needs a break ( when the best effort basis kicks in, and package ordering for with the deploop becomes hard ). 4) Debian packages may run binaries at install and un-install times. I am not sure if this is a major plus. is this like the %pre , %post, %preun and %postun scripts in a rpm ? 6) New sections in the package format: .debs were designed to be extensible, and whole new sections can be added to the package by adding yet another tar-ball or the ar archive. Some of the future additions being planned are detached signatures by various keys; developers key, build daemon maintainer key, archive maintainers key, release manager key, mirror master key, -- in a new section of the package file. So, new data sections, compiled binaries for more than one sub-arch, or 32 and 64 bit binaries -- they can be added easily to a new section, and dpkg be told how to deal with the new sections by inspecting the .deb format version. rpm's can't as easily cope with unseen new requirements. I dont quite understand what this implies ( perhaps a use-case-scenario will make it easier to parse ). The ability to add user defined metadata into a rpm header-not-payload is under development - I've seen it being used, but mostly off -devel trees, not in any released rpm used in a distro. btw, I also rate the ability of rpms to handle multilib and arch specific packages to be a big plus. -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/

Are you bridging the VM's on the network or using a host emulated NAT ? -- Karanbir Singh : http://www.karan.org/ : [EMAIL PROTECTED] ___ ilugd mailinglist -- ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org http://frodo.hserus.net/mailman/listinfo/ilugd Archives at: http://news.gmane.org/gmane.user-groups.linux.delhi http://www.mail-archive.com/ilugd@lists.linux-delhi.org/
