What book on modern Linux administration you will recommend to a
seasoned Windows system administrator ?
No answers at all ?? Maybe I did not asked right:
Our sysadmin (never used Linux before) will have from now to
support two-three Linux servers. The servers will be used for
development. So he came to me asking about good book that will
help him in this task.. What can you recommend ?

Linux Administration - A Beginner's Guide by Steven Graham and Steve 
Shah is aimed at strong Windows users who know something about the 
Windows networking environment (from their intro). My copy is the third 
edition, which is from 2003, so it's a little old. I'm not a system 
administrator, I got it to fill in gaps in my knowledge. I found it useful.

Quoting Alan Yaniger, from the post of Tue, 01 Mar:
 Linux Administration - A Beginner's Guide by Steven Graham and Steve 
 Shah is aimed at strong Windows users who know something about the 
 Windows networking environment (from their intro). My copy is the third 
 edition, which is from 2003, so it's a little old. I'm not a system 
 administrator, I got it to fill in gaps in my knowledge. I found it useful.

I learned all that I know with my own two fingers and ten eyes, so I'm
not really knowledgeable about which book is better, however from some
online searching I see most fingers (and Amazon reviews and sales rank)
pointing at Linux in a nutshell:
http://www.oreilly.com/catalog/linuxnut4/

Contents include:


* Programming, system administration, networking, and user commands
with complete lists of options

* GRUB, LILO, and Loadlin bootloaders

* Shell syntax and variables for the bash, csh, and tcsh shells

* Pattern matching

* Emacs, vi, and vim editing commands

* sed and gawk commands

* The GNOME and KDE desktops and the fvwm2 window manager

* Red Hat and Debian package managers

And if I'm not mistaken, an older edition of it was even translated to
Hebrew (heaven forbid).

What's more, I think there's an Israeli importer of O'Reiley that sells
books at discount to members of Hamakor. I can't remember the name at
the moment (they were the ones who gave away the prize books at AP3 if
memory serves).

I think I'll buy one even if to use as a loan copy to all the firends
I'm trying to convert :)

I'm going to raise some questions in order to trigger you for the fault.
Are you sure that its not a hard disk bound queries?
Mybe the raid is slower then the last. (faulty driver??)
Seems so though not suppose to. its LSI Logic 53c1030 Fusion-MPT Dual 
Ultra320 SCSI.
The formaer one is Adaptec 2015 which suppose to be slower.

I suspect the Raid is the problem, some how its not fast as i expected 
it to be. im going to throw the Centos away and install a beautiful 
Debian Sarge 2.6.x on it :)

Is the os the same or you swiched it?
If you swiched it, i guess you have a problem with the kernel, mybe a module 
or something. Try to google for xeon slowing and the kernel.

Did you swich filesystem?
Yes, the OS came with ext3 :( thugh i dont think it can take the mechine 
down. maybe 10% in performance.

האתר שלכם

אחרת, איני יכול להשתמש 
בו.

4. הוא מדדה אחרי דפדפנים אחרים בשיפורי 
שימושויות ובתכונות מתקדמות.

5. הוא לא מעודכן, אלא רק כחלק ממערכת ההפעלה. 
הגרסא העדכנית ביותר זמינה רק
ל-Windows XP SP2.

אנא מנעו את חסימת הדפדפנים ממשפחת מוזילה 
(אני משתמש בפיירפוקס 1.0), וודאו 
שהאתר עובד עימו באופן תקני. יש לציין שלא 
יקשה עליכם לבדוק את תאימות האתר

ראוי לציין שגם שליחת טופס המשוב אינה עובדת

במידה שהאתר לא יתוקן, אשקול בכובד ראש

Hi Maxim,
Going over old mails in my mailbox, I came over this message of
yours which, probably I overlooked then. First of all thanks and
apologies for the very long delay.
In the mean time I settled for LaTeX. I considered using lyx for a
while, to ease the transition (LaTeX is pretty frightening in the
beginning). The decisive experiment that ruled against this idea
was made, pretty much by chance, when I tried some of the
examples from Guide to LaTeX by Helmuth Kopka and Patrick Daly.
I did it both directly and through lyx, and the ouputs were not
identical: I decided to take the bull (LaTeX) by its horns,
without any transition stage.
With some help from a coleague at work, in English it works allright. 
I did not need yet to write in Hebrew. I hope that by the time
I'll pass that hurdle, the basic use of LaTeX will already be
familiar, so that I'll have only to concentrate on the new
aspects.
Cheers, Avraham

I sent Bank Discount a snail mail letter very similar to the one you 
sent, and I got pretty much the same response. It seems to be a very low 
priority over there - the bank is effectivly putting its head in the 
sand, squeezing its eyes shut and chanting IE support is enough.

You don's specify any details, and my telepathic range is limited to 5 meters

Now i want to install windows 98 on one partition.
So i coppied all the install directory from the cd to the partition.
Now i have to fill the 512bytes of the partition start with a lilo or 
something similar (thoght to copy freedos first 512bytes).
at the mbr i have grub.

Now lets asume that i can start the installation of win98.
This will break my MBR. 
Is there a way to make it don't step on the MBR?
Because i can't boot the comp with cdrom or floppy.

I've had similar non-constructive reply more than a year ago. Nothing changed

Considering the amount of money we all together have in this bank I would say

Re: [OT] The obligations of the employer-employee relationship

2005-03-01 Thread Jonathan Ben Avraham
Hi Shaul,
Say that you fullfil the following conditions:
A. you are either an independent (atsmai) or an incorporated
   individual and you work at a place like Motorola or IAI or Cellcom
B. you agree with your customer in writing that that you have no
   employer-employee relationship. You have this agreement notarized to
   ensure that you are entering into it of your own free will. You file
   the agreement in a court of law.
Then, if the customer decides to terminate the business relationship with 
you after several years, you can sue for pitsuim and pensia, with the 
results that the Israeli labor courts will find in your favor and will 
require your customer to pay you both pitsuim and pensia, on top of 
whatever he already paid you, and despite the fact that you might have 
been paying your own pensia from the money that he paid you.

There is plenty of Israeli case law that demonstrates this. Despite 
whatever you and your customer agreed and wrote, the labor court makes 
it's own assumptions. It assumes that you were an atsmai or incorporated 
individual only in order to get employment and you had no other choice but 
to do so because your customer demanded it in order to avopid paying you 
what he is obligated to under law - pitsuim and pensia.

Most BIOSes nowdays have a feature called Virus Protection, which, if
I recall correctly, blocks you from writing to the MBR as long as it's
set to Enabled. It is a very interesting feature of virus protection
(my first question when I saw this was: What were they thinking?), but
nevermind that - windows *is* kind of a virus ;) The big question is...
what will Windows' installer will have to say about that. 

I'll try the above on a different box first, not to screw your working

getting 802.11g wireless card into a Linux Notebook business.

I bought a Level One WPC-0301 card for 205 NIS but it was not
recognized by Fedora3
and from the help I got here and from the searches II made it seems it
will be hard to get a stable driver for it.

Then I did some research and from the various sites I found I
understand that basically only cards with Prism54 chip set are well
supported. (Am I correct here ?)

See this link
http://prism54.org/supported_cards.php

In this shop there are a few others listed that should work as well:
http://www.linuxvoodoo.com/store/index.php/cPath/45_66

Now the supplier offered me a replacement card called
3CRWE154G72(A 3Com card) for 368 NIS. (one of the cards listed on
the Prism site).

I am not sure I want to pay an extra 163 NIS for this card if there is
a cheaper but working solution.

So I would like to ask you ppl. do you have experience with any PCMCIA
WiFi card (11g) that works well under Linux ? Where did you buy it ?
How much did it cost ?


Thanks
Gabor

Re: [OT] The obligations of the employer-employee relationship

Hi
I am not a layer, but as far as I know things are a little bit more 
complicated

Court will examine the every day relationship.
Do you have to be there on regular times?
Are you payed according to your working hours? or according to mission 
completion?
Do you work from home or do you work at the customer site?
How close do the customer supervise your work? can the customer decide one 
day to change your project / give you a temporary mission?

and surely there are many more small tests that says if you are really an 
independent external worker / sub-contractor / atsmai or if the contract 
is just a camouflage for actually being an employee of the customer

Hi Shaul,
Say that you fullfil the following conditions:
A. you are either an independent (atsmai) or an incorporated
   individual and you work at a place like Motorola or IAI or Cellcom
B. you agree with your customer in writing that that you have no
   employer-employee relationship. You have this agreement notarized to
   ensure that you are entering into it of your own free will. You file
   the agreement in a court of law.
Then, if the customer decides to terminate the business relationship with 
you after several years, you can sue for pitsuim and pensia, with the 
results that the Israeli labor courts will find in your favor and will 
require your customer to pay you both pitsuim and pensia, on top of 
whatever he already paid you, and despite the fact that you might have 
been paying your own pensia from the money that he paid you.

There is plenty of Israeli case law that demonstrates this. Despite 
whatever you and your customer agreed and wrote, the labor court makes 
it's own assumptions. It assumes that you were an atsmai or incorporated 
individual only in order to get employment and you had no other choice but 
to do so because your customer demanded it in order to avopid paying you 
what he is obligated to under law - pitsuim and pensia.
Regards,

4. Only a contracting company completely frees the business purchasing
the services from the obligations of the employer-employee relationship
as defined by Israeli law. Neither non-incorporated or even
incorporated individuals have this advantage even though according to
the dry leter of the law you might think they would.

 Can you elaborate more?
