[ilugd] Open Compute Project
I am sure some of you might have already come across this project, yet this is for folks who haven't. Like other big internet companies, Facebook also has come up with its own design of servers. However unlike its peers who keep their design close to their vests, Facebook has made it open. I am not aware of the extent of openness in the project, still i consider this a good start.

Re: [ilugd] Things to consider for Server Utilization
Rahul, Global zone is the host machine. Obvoiusly not every global zone will be clustered. It will be too expensive. So, a way of going about it may be to club some of the existing HA demanding apps in one global zone and cluster it. And thanks for the pointers to Nagios and zenoss. Deeply appreciated.

I don't mean to be pedantic but Zones are usually isolated virtual servers on a single OS instance, while your email talks about clustering several hundred machines. Maybe you need these and cluster zones too. And most of the machines are Solaris, so the chosen way to go is Zones. Heterogeneous clusters are more difficult to deploy and maintain, though not necessarily manage.

Though, where the application requires a lot of storage or quick disk access, this will affect the types of disks used and protocols, that is, whether you require a SAN using iSCSI or Fibre Channel with SCSI disks at what rpm or something faster. Hi Rahul, First of all thanks a lot for the detailed mail. It will help me a lot. But what I am concerned about right now, is to find out the actual utilization of each physical server. This is how I can determine how many applications I can club into what kind of machines. Some applications are home made and some are like SAP and Oracle DBs. I am planning to calculate the utilization of each server over a week and month's time. Also want to calculate the peak load it gets and when does it get that. I am looking at resources such as CPU, Physical M/m, swap space, NIC and FC Card utilizations. Please add whatever else comes to your mind that I should consider too. Assign some reliable high-end or dedicated hardware nodes as cluster fences. Fencing protects your information in the case of a node failure in the cluster. Yes, every global zone will be clustered. Determine if you'd like Network Attached Storage, for network available storage and the filesystem, or a SAN, if you'd like to see block devices and let the clients handle the filesystem. Source some dedicated hardware or make the appropriate partitions on each node and make these network visible. About the storage, all the user and application data is already in NAS and SAN. So, I won't be much worried about that. RedHat Enterprise Linux has some software for managing clusters, Conga, with support for fencing and dynamic resizing, for example. Meet luci and rici. And most of the machines are Solaris, so the chosen way to go is Zones. Thanks again for the quick response. You guys rock!!

All, After being a freedom fighter for more then 3 years, today I am finding myself, again standing in front of the same age-old question which I had to confront during my days of initiation; *Distro*. But today it's not about me getting bored...it's about a small but important step whose ripples are far reaching. Finally I managed to convince one of my managers to try Linux. She will probably start with a dual-boot setup. Now comes the time for the old questions. Which Distro to recommend. But this time the biggest criteria is compatibility. This is too huge a place to completely switch to Linux in a month or year. It will take time. So, I have to start with ONE. The rest of the progress completely depends on this ONE. So, the biggest challenge here is not to fight but to co-exist with Windows. So, below are some of the things that are done in the office in a regular office. ~Connect to Windows Terminal Server for remote operations ~Mail Exchanging (Mail server is MS Exchange) and all other clients are Outlook ~Intranet website has issues with Firefox(Well, honestly doesn't work on anything other then IE) ~Extensive work in Office Suite, full compatibility with MS Office is a high priority. And some more which I may not be able to recall right now. So, could you please recommend the best distro which is best for peaceful co-existence in a M$ dominated environment.

True. People never joined a training program or purchased books for their darker days with Windhus...so why Linux. Also, gone are the days of Slackware when it used to take 6 hours to just listen to your first song. Today, it's a matter of minutes to get a linux system up and to start working on that presentation you have to give the next day. Best way will be downlading ubuntu iso , installing it and install applications which you use daily, There are nearly all software alternative available on linux. Although, this list tries hard to keep itself from any bias, however I don't think mentioning a distro is that bad. If somebody from Ireland asks you about a good Mughlai restaurant he would like to go and try, you don't start explaining him how an ideal mughlai restaurant should be and tell him to go and find one similar to your description. Rather, after your short lecture on mughlai you recommend him a restaurant he can go and try. So, personally i don't think recommending distro's is bad. Ofcourse, those recommendations have to be backed by convincing reasons which was visibly missing here. But i believe given a chance Mr. Mishra will present his reasons.

Read carefully,And let me say, there is no linux which can make you perfect. Keeping someone from something that you think is muddy may save him from a bit of adventure but what about his choices. Does he have one? We all have our choices, and that's one of the reason most of us like you recommended Ubuntu, the HUMANE linux. Don't you think everyone too should get a piece of that joy of making their own choice. At least, I do. That's also a reason when you teach someone to string reverse you teach him both recursion and XOR. And leave him to finally make his own choice. That's what I think is humane. Besides, I do not appreciate much the idea of knowing only those which work and that to only the best among them. So, let him make his own choices, instead of we; the potential spearheads start making them for him. Though, if any distro creates situation to be troubleshooted or researched on very frequently on every-step for newbies, lesser would like to travel(specific to newbies). Understand what the HUMAN is asking. Realise how human should answer. We all are HUMAN... hmm a humanity for Smruti.

She once said, *The strongest principle of growth lies in human choice. *So, don't take it away. Note: I am not saying anything against any distro, I found every distro exciting and frustrating. But I realised early that those things are getting developed and shared among. It takes time, so I opted debian based UBUNTU for my go. -=Ravi= The case is absolutely the same here too friend.

Re: [ilugd] New to Linux
If you want to keep both the os, better first install windows and leave some space unpartitioned. Later, you can go ahead and install the Linux on it. As a beginner you can try Ubuntu. Also you can try suse. Although have never used it personally but have heard a lot about it. May be the senior members of the forum will be able to give you more incite on it. Welcome to the club!!

Re: [ilugd] intel software radio for wimax, DVB-H, etc
Sounds interesting. But when you get down to ground reality it is still not possible to make hardware gpl complaint. Simply, because of the fact that Hardware is tangible and it costs. We can make the architecture open source but the hardware itself can't be made for free. You can make the software that runs a calculator free but you cannot make a CRT monitor that can be give for free. And hardware cannot be shared and kept concurrently simply because you can't make copies of it for free.
