RE: Redhat

2003-03-31 Thread Randy Williams
Howdy, If you'd like the complete lowdown on exactly how this would work out, you could contact RedHat directly and secure a quote. I recently did just that when preparing a proposal to take a WinNT/Solaris 8 NIS domain to a RHAS2.1 domain. This is what these folks do every day. Just my .02

RE: Onstream SC30e and Redhat 8

2003-02-28 Thread Randy Williams
My first thought would be to call on the Onstream folks. I have called about Linux support in the past and gotten some good answers. The more crucial question would be the SCSI card support. My thoughts anyway. RandyW -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]

RE: athlon xp vs. athlon mp (ot...kinda)

2003-02-28 Thread Randy Williams
Greetings, The XP and MP lines are drastically different architectures, although they use the same core. The MP in Athlon MP means Multi-processing and it is a server chip from start to finish, hence its higher price tag. If you aren't doing any server specific things that require SMP

I've got a HP 970CSE at the house and it works great for me. I've printed out .jpg's that are scanned pictures and that's worked okay. I haven't tested some of the advanced functionality yet, but so far its good stuff. I don't know what the cost of this unit might be though, or how the new

RE: Samba and NT Domains

2003-01-28 Thread Randy Williams
Im going to just guess here, but you may have caused a problem by deleting the name from the domain. As NT creates a separate code combination for each entry in the domain (user or asset), by deleting it, and then reusing the name, you may have caused NT to refuse the name youve continued

When we set up our test systems, we usually put 1 2GB Swap partition for each real partition. Our systems usually have 3 or 4 versions of Linux on them at a time, so we end up with plenty of swap space to use, even with the 2GB maximum. Randyw -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've been hamstrung by cheap parts too many times. At this point, for certain items, I purposely buy only top-shelf components. For the extra $$ I spend on quality parts, I save a HUGE amount in lost productivity. Saving $25 on a stick of RAM looks downright foolish when I spend $1000 in lost

That is correct. Until RedHat releases Advanced Server AND gets the proper input from Sun on their US-II architecture, you won't see this happen. In some cases you won't see this happen anyway, the E10K really is BIG iron and Sun has repeatedly said that Big Iron has much to do with the future
