[osol-discuss] Re: How Do You Use OpenSolaris?

2006-05-18 Thread Chris Steinke
I'm running OpenSolaris on a few different systems. I have a HP DL360 running Open Solaris with ZFS. It is used as an IDS server, with Snort logging to a MySQL database with BASE. I also have a V880 running Solaris Nevada Build 36. I'm currently using Veritas VxVM/FS 4.1 instead of ZFS. This ru

I would still consider it to be a sub-process change to the environment (in this case the visual environment) and I would NOT want it to come back to the parent process. ie - resize during child operation, go back to original size (or use original sizing) when returned to parent. This messa

The difference between the support for a home grown collection of scripts vs trying to support a commercial application on your own is huge. Typically, when you write scripts, you know how and why they work. When they break, you can follow them fairly easily, because you wrote them. With someo
