Re: can I fix windows with linux

2012-01-22 Thread Michael Havens
okay I'm trying to get avast to work in TRK. I got the key for avast
and went to the computer running trk (I'm trying to update right now). then
I opened the file with vi and guess what it wasn't there. Is that
right? So I figured I was supposed to creeate it. But what goes in it? I
tried it with only the password but that doesn't seem to work. Hmmm
perhaps the home directory it is supposed to be in is not the same as the
terminAl implies. What is the full file name?

 Last May, one of our customers slipped us a virus, and we didn't catch it
 before it started spreading thoughout the Windows server farm. Three data
 centers in two countries... It was a fun time for all. But we got
 through it thanks to TRK. It did a terrific job of cleaning our machines,
 then we put a new AV on, and away they went.  Fortuanately for us, a
 huge number of our desktops are Linux and Mac, so we already had *Nix

 I think Avira has a Linux based live scanner CD available.

Re: Which tablet(s) the best for Linux applications?

2012-01-22 Thread Michael Butash

This reeks of Transformer, so I'm curious which was chicken/egg.

Then found this there:

Since 2011, Always Innovating doesn't sell any more to individual 
consumers and has focused its activities on licensing business.


The economics of selling to individual consumers doesn't make sense any 
more for a relatively small player when top-tier players are starting a 
price war on tablet and similar devices. Instead Always Innovating is 
now licensing all its innovations, including the latest HDMI Dongle, to 
manufacturers all over the world.


If you have any interest to license one of our products, please register 
here.


Sounds like a patent troll in the making...

Sadly, it does not make sense to be a small provider of niche hardware 
like tablets when trying to compete with the likes of asus, samsung, and 
lg that make *your* displays and chips.  They will always get better 
products first, and use them to crush your product in volume sales.

trying to figure out which 10 tablet might be the best option.  I want to
be able to copy a lot of my files and websites (html code) onto the tablet
so I will have quick access to my data even when there is no wireless
connection.

Asus Transformer $449 + $150 for a doc with keyboard and extra battery life
Acer $349 - I like that it has a standard USB to plug in a keyboard
Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
Toshiba
Xoom
What else?

Re: Building wireless client and wireless accesspoint

The network configuration you described is called a Wireless Repeater 
Bridge.


While IPCop might be able to handle the networking requirements (I'm 
not sure if IPCop can be a wireless repeater bridge or not), it is not 
designed (nor is it desirable for a firewall) to provide file/print 
services.


I think easiest solution for this would be to use DD-WRT. It can be 
configured as a repeater bridge (see
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Repeater_Bridge), and DD-WRT can be 
run on a wide variety of wireless devices.


While it might be possible to add samba to DD-WRT in some instances (see 
http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Samba), I would recommend against 
it. Filesystem access would be at USB2 speeds, and I don't believe this 
would provide printer sharing. Samba on DD-WRT is not a pretty picture.


To provide file/print services, it would be simplest to build a 
standalone samba server for file/print sharing. This server could be as 
little as an old PentiumII machine with 256M of RAM (more ram would only 
increase file caching). I would recommend building this on a raid-1 
(mirrored) array. If more than 2G of storage is needed, you can use raid-10.


BL, let DD-WRT handle the networking requirements on a small wireless 
router device, and build a separate server host (attached to the DD-WRT 
device via ethernet) for file/print services. Remember to KISS. ;)


This sounds like an interesting project. Have fun with it!

website hosting

2012-01-22 Thread Michael Havens
Well, I'm going to to register my first domain and get hosting with godaddy
(unless you know of something better). Anyways, I don't know which hosting
plan to go with, web hosting economy or 5-page website builder. I'm
thinking webhosting economy but the description godaddy gives isn't very
descriptive. So I suppose I should ask you guys who know more about these
things then me what the pros and cons are of these different services.

Full Disclosure: I work for GoDaddy.com, my opinions however are my own and
I am not speaking for GoDaddy.com or in an official respect for GoDaddy.com.


Your question is a bit open ended, what do you plan on doing with said
website?  Is it just a personal wordpress blog?  Something serious?  If
it's something serious I would look at the grid hosting packages... They're
a little bit more expensive, but you get a load balanced cluster serving
your page compared to a single server.  (obviously if it's just a tinker
about personal site... you don't need the whole redundancy thing as our
uptime is pretty good by industry standards).

With the grid and economy hosting you lost the whole website tonight
functionality.  But if you know html, or are having someone else design it
for you -- that's not too big of a deal.

If you can respond with more specifics as to what you're looking for... I'm
sure the list could help you out.

It rather depends on WHY you feel the need for a domain, and 
one assumes (b/c of the mention of hosting, and the subject 
line) website


blog sites are free with a google account at blogspot.com. 
email handling in a custom domain is free for up to ten users 
with google apps (down a rather had to find link).  mimimal 
websites are free thru google sites, as well.  domain 
registrations are $10 a year at google apps [they hand off the 
registration to emon or go-daddy, which is a hard price to 
get under for a low volume domain registrant


But all this is self support and has no learning opportunity; 
if you want to have a live person at the other end of the
