Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Firefox security
I see this question asked regularly... Generally speaking, the vast majority of browser exploits in the wild target windows browsers or their plugins like Java, Adobe Reader & Flash, or ActiveX. So even if you're using one of those plugins with a Unix browser (of those available), you're already protected since the exploits won't run on your OS if they're even triggered in the first place. In my experience, I've seen some malware for Android and OS X but there have been maybe a handful of barely mentionable Linux malware over the years. So your choice of OS alone has drastically limited your risk footprint. In my mind, the most compelling reason for maintaining current versions of Firefox on Solaris & Illumos/OI derivatives is for feature parity. -Gary ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

It's currently the "Java desktop" flavor of GNOME that's been around for seven or so years now inspired, IIRC, by a preview of GNOME 1.4 on a Solaris 8 CD.

You have twice suggested that Fedora is a production OS when it is not -- it's equivalent to a BSD current, testing or unstable Debian, or Solaris Express.

I haven't tried it since Solaris 2.6-8 -- and then only on a personal workstation but at the time it was one of only a handful of operating systems that had a solid track record for being able to do so without issue 99% of the time or better. OS X can't yet match that across major versions but they seem to be making an effort to match the reputation that Solaris had (still has?) in this area. I'd be curious to learn how many admins feel this is an important feature since my server OS upgrade cycles tend to coincide with hardware upgrades & in that case it's more work to try to preserve an exact replica of the old system it's replacing -- except, perhaps, in the case of a physical to virtual conversion.

I don't know how this applies to ZFS but under Windows XP there's an "advanced format align utility" that WD has for aligning 512 byte writes on 4k boundaries. But what really stands out is that you're using a desktop drive & expecting enterprise features from it. The white paper below was written shortly before 4k sector drives but it's still relevant. One thing it doesn't mention that I often hear from junior sysadmins is some clarification about OEM server drives vs off the shelf desktop drives -- a conversation usually started over pricing differences. This is becoming less of an issue in the enterprise because fewer servers use SATA drives these days but if you're building your own array using SATA drives or some mix of SAS and SATA in the same chassis then it's something to keep in mind. OEMs often have their own disk controller firmware tweaks and burn-in testing procedures that are applied before shipping. Without confusing the issue by talking more about OEM vs standard enterprise drives in this message, please consider the details in the white paper before deploying drives for home or office in a system that you're expecting to use for long term retention of data. -Gary ftp://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/sb/enterprise_class_versus_desktop_class_hard_drives_.pdf ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Java 7
If it's been five years in the making then that would suggest that not many Java VM and API developers were let go during the acquisition of Sun. Or were they? http://www.eweekeurope.co.uk/news/apache-developers-java-7-contains-bugs-35619. But I have to wonder who would be so bold or ignorant as to put a dot zero release of anything in to production right away anyhow? Regardless, this whole anti-closed source drum beating reminds me of a Usenix conference I went to ten or more years ago. The GNU zealots kept taking the open mic every chance they got and -- regardless of relevancy to the subject at hand -- would start beating their licensing drum. It became especially tedious when they'd show up at the BSD related events and tried to argue with the BSD users and devs. So I'm not saying I'm against open source (who is?) but I feel that every business has a choice over which licensing model is most appropriate for their products and profitability. Long time Solaris users have been around before Solaris was ever open sourced. Most of us didn't start using OpenSolaris because someone tacked "open" in front of its name -- we chose it for its innovation. It sounds to me as if Oracle has decided to keep its competitors in the OS market from using their innovations before they can release their own production ready OS. If that's unnerving to you, you're welcome to look elsewhere as you also have a choice. But I should remind everyone that one of the most important parts of being a community member and advocate (open source or not) is being respectful of others. And bashing Oracle at very turn is not going to convince anyone to join your cause -- especially considering that there are current and ex Oracle employees and customers contributing to the community. Thankfully, most of us are familiar with the ability to delete an email without responding to it -- as you're certainly welcome to do with this one. kind regards, Gary ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

I'm not aware of any cloud printing services to traditional "legacy" devices aside from those offered by Google. And as far as I know, it's entirely dependent on the Chrome browser and the cloud print extension. So it would require an effort to either port Chrome to OI or Solaris or extract that functionality from the browser extension and integrate it in to the OS.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Libreoffice
Yes, I've posted over they just today after someone there contacted me (I thought I was sub'd at some point). I just left a build running on an office VM. Next time I'll use the GUI installer so it gets all the gnome and X libs in advance but I think I finally met the prereqs (including a sym link to make 'alocal' a recognizable executable). Also, I am using gcc & the tar.xe of libreoffice 3.5.0.1.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] 1.51a not install on Hp DL385
It might help to let us know what generation it is, eg G6, G7, G8 etc. as they tend to differ considerably by way of their components, onboard controllers, etc. That said, did you happen to save the dmesg output from an OS that worked? -Gary ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss

If I recall correctly, you can set LACP parameters that determine how fast the switch-over occurs between ports, the interval at which the interfaces send LACP packets, and more. These can be set on either the OS or switch side depending on the vendor. So if you've determined that there is nothing wrong at either the physical layer or network and above, then the link layer is your most likely culprit. Applying the process of elimination or some other methodology is most advisable for these types of troubleshooting situations. -Gary ___ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list OpenIndiana-discuss@openindiana.org http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
