SFD in Day of Atonement
Hi, Software Freedom Day (SFD)[ 1] is a worldwide celebration of Free and Open Source Software (FOSS). The goal in this celebration is to educate the worldwide public about the benefits of using high quality FOSS in education, in government, at home, and in business -- in short, everywhere! The non-profit organization Software Freedom International[ 2] coordinates SFD at a global level, providing support, giveaways and a point of collaboration, but volunteer teams around the world organize the local SFD events to impact their own communities. This year the FSD was selected to be on 18th of September which is alsothe Day of Atonement at the jewish calendar I'm highly involved in the FSD event at Madrid. It does not only mean that people highly involved at the event will unable to participate, but also that it will not be Israeli FSD in that date. I don't know how the desition was made. I wrote then about moving it on to a later date( September 30th) and I waiting for an answer. It colud be of great support if other people contact them also.

2010/9/2 Shahar Dag d...@cs.technion.ac.il Hi What about SVN over apache? That would provide versioning, but large file support would be pretty lame. All I need is a centralised place to which users from different offices can upload files, assign permissions for other users from other offices, so that the others can download those files from there. Something like rapidshare, but with access control, or like dropbox, but without the file sync abilities (which are nice, but quite redundant in my case) Dan.

hebrew file names in samba
up until recently, our samba users (mostly windows virtual machines on Linux) have been able to read and write to files containing Hebrew characters. I am unaware of any changes in the environment, however now they can see, but can not open or create any files with Hebrew characters. Any ideas would be appreciated.

Are you looking for a freelancer person or a company? I would recommend to find 2 people: one for windows, one for Linux/Netapp. From my experience, most windows admins are not that specialists when it comes to managing Linux systems.

Laptop
My 4+ year old Macbook is dying a slow death, and I am contemplating getting a new laptop and would like your advice. Here are the parameters: - My environment is Linux, Ubuntu for the last 2-3 years, and I would like to have it available to me on the laptop if I can. I have little use for either Mac OS-X or Windows as far as actually making much use of the software, beyond vary basic usage (iTunes, VLC, etc.). Linux is a different story. - I have several reasons to buy a Windows 7 machine. First, I have a Magellan GPS that only works with Windows. Second, some bank accounts require it to fully function. Third, I can get a lot more computer for the money with Wintel than with Apple. Last, Ubuntu Laptops with the latest hardware may or may not work. - So, I am thinking about getting a 64x, core i3 laptop from Toshiba or Dell. These are available with 13-15 screen, 250-350GB HD (I think IDE, some are Sata but more expensive), 3-4GB RAM. In theory, at least, these can be virtualized, and I should be able to run either vmware, xen, virtual box or whatever client MS provides for free. One can get core i3 for around $500 So here are my questions: 1. Does anyone know if Win7 includes a virtualization program that would allow me to run Linux under it? How efficient is it - will I be able to put it on full screen, forget I am running Windows, and use my preferred environment? 2. Any recommendations for something that is fully compatible with Linux, in case I get an alternative and can get rid of the windows part? 3. Any other advice? Thanks!
