Re: web development on OpenBSD

Hi there, I was in a similar position to you a few months ago. I decided to go with Ruby on Rails, it's really simple! But to get the most out of it you should buy a book. Agile Development with rails is a good one. It might be worth reading a php + mysql tutorial just to see how yucky it is.

Hello Jacob, I might be missing something, but is anything stopping you from consolidating your servers onto a single HP / Dell that you already have? Or are these all at different customer sites? Depending on your power and processor usage, you might actually find that a single HP / Dell uses

Hello, I think Michael meant UFS, as in what FreeBSD uses. I too would like to know the status on this, as I have a FreeBSD machine that could become an OpenBSD machine :) Kind regards, Timothy On 16/03/2008, Otto Moerbeek [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sat, Mar 15, 2008 at 08:13:00PM +0200,

dvorak key layout

Hello misc@, I was wondering how I can use a dvorak keyboard on the console? I've googled, but I can only find how to's for X11, or for 2.x OpenBSD. I'm sure its something simple in rc.conf (.local!), but I can't find it. Any help would be appreciated. Kind regards, Timothy

Thanks Ryan, Maybe this is new in 4.3 or 4.2? I don't have this option in 4.1. I guess I should upgrade :) Timothy. On 16/03/2008, Ryan McBride [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Sun, Mar 16, 2008 at 12:47:48PM +1030, Timothy Wilson wrote: I was wondering how I can use a dvorak keyboard

Ah my mistake. I have to specify either 44bsd or ufs2 when I mount BSD partitions in Linux, so I thought they were different. On 15 Mar 2008 21:37:45 -0700, Unix Fan [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Timothy Wilson wrote: Hello, I think Michael meant UFS, as in what FreeBSD uses. I too would

Hi Amit, Maybe I missed something, but you do have a Hebrew font installed on your system and in your font path right? On 24/09/2007, Marc Espie [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: We do not have full i18n support. The locale stuff in the base system is not finished (I know, I'm late...) Qt has its own

Unstable PPPoE

Hello ladies and gentlemen! I'm having a frustrating problem. My internet is highly unstable when using bit torrent. I don't think there's anything special about my configuration: my gateway is a craptop with inbuilt Intel ethernet and a url0 USB ethernet for the modem. The connection is bridged,

Hello, I'm trying to set up a gateway / firewall at my home. I've set my modem into half bridge mode, and my ethernet card (url0) is able to get the address correctly if I use dhclient once the system has booted (more on that later). I've set /etc/resolv.conf to use the correct name servers that

Had you thought about mounting certain areas as read only? For example, /etc, /local can be mounted as read only. When you want to make changes, such as installing a new package or whatever, just remount the file systems read/write. You can also use jails. Timothy
