http://www.beowulf.org/pipermail/beowulf/2003-July/007445.html the desktop version is a low-cost 32-bit (82540em) while the server (82545em) is its 64-bit brother. from the threads above, there's quite a gap to fill between those two.

Where exactly are you visiting? Sabah, Sarawak or Kalimantan? I've been to the first two. 2.5 hours plane ride from Kuala Lumpur to Kota Kinabalu and Kuching. I've heard nasty news about cannibals somewhere deep in the Kalimantan. Pontianak (Kalimantan's cap). As for jungle, all three would...

Ditto and I would appreciate a Free's mergemaster-like script. As for netbsd's rc.d, if this thread is of any indication (and De Raadt's attitude), I don't think we are going to see it anytime soon.

Ditto. I can never understand on how the Linux kernel should be configured correctly. Never had even once, a successful kernel compilation. Why can't it be as straight through as FreeBSD's or OpenBSD's? Why can't it highlight the necessary dependencies (in the config file for instance) instead...

I must say that Muslims do not see this as a war to oust Saddam. Many Muslim friends, I myself is one, don't hold any love for him. In fact, I personally and many others I know would like to see him off. I've an intuition that this is a war against Islam. The facts aren't there but the feeling...

Indeed. Good comments and reviews for readers alike. Placed an order for it at one of the local bookstores. Turned out they don't stock that book and had to bring it in. Amazon & FatBrain freight rates is too much too lump hence going for local. Thanks for the recommendation.

The organization LAN are done through VLANing, which Catalysts are trunked with one another. The two depts are spread over multiple floors. Are there any special issue that I need to consider with this kind of setup?

Thanks Fushigi, As the way I understand it, the diagram would somehow relates to this PC A-->--unencrypted-->--PIX/ISAKMPD gateway-->--ESP (IPsec)-->--PIX/ISAKMPD gateway-->--unencrypted-->--PC B Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Hello all, As above. The target is a corporate network, 100+ nodes (2 depts). The building is located in a busy road intersection and a wired Coffee Bean just down below. Each node has been upgraded to Wi-Fi B, using 128-bit WEP. The data isn't mission critical but supposedly they want to...

Tempting indeed, James. I'm sorry for being daft but when you wrote USD 300, does it include the freight charge? My English comprehension isn't that good yet.

http://docs.sun.com/db/doc/816-1664-10/6m82lv9lf?a=view I'm fixing my attention on a Sparcstation 20 and according to the page above, the configuration is supported. Thanks Gary for the heads up. I wouldn't have known it by fact if not for the page above.

Thank you guys for the referrals. Mercutio, thanks anyway for the offer but buying outside isn't an option for me at the moment. Most of the Sun resellers here do have used and refurbished products on sale, so I'd go to them. I have bought large products from the States, so no worries for me...

Definitely blake. I'm fairly convinced that a Sun certification would do me good during the next 2-3 years. Even if I don't really need it, it does give me an edge when proposing projects. I had a talk with a family friend last week during which he opined that a system administration...

Hello all, I got a Sun's System Administrator and Network Administrator exams vouchers at a great discount yesterday and the offers are valid until the end of the year. I did not asked about the training courses neither did I aware of any as of this time of writing. I'm going to call Sun...

Definitely Coug that got my attention. I've been trying to help a friend building an embedded Linux using the LFS method for quite a while now and nowhere did I found good references for FreeBSD for an application. The closest I got was by trimming the kernel and a stripped userland binaries on...

Got that. I do know how to use vn to setup additional swap space, however to setup and mount a miniroot partition, that's something that I need to improve upon. Thanks for pointing it out. :)

Thank you guys for the references. Using vn maybe a little too deep for me at the moment, so I'll just stick to installing them by conventional method and do a remote management by the serial line.

To clarify, I've used tip in FreeBSD to setup routers before but the OSes had been flashed and pre-setup inside the box. As for installing them, I hope someone can enlighten me of the possibility.

Hello all, I'm building a small firewall and PPP dialer box for use in my home and I'm trying to learn to install the OS through serial console. The hardware involved is a conventional PC sans the keyboard, mouse and video card. I have the parts at my disposal but I don't intend to use unless I...

SR is back online an hour back. Seems all fine and dandy.

As for 5.0, I'm eagerly waiting for it too but I wouldn't want to jump the gun that early. It seems that there are still many issues among others, OpenOffice, with 5.0 that it's worth sticking with 4.x-Stable tree until 5.x-Stable is issued after 5.1 or 5.2-Releases, for production box at least...

Re: FreeBSD 5.0 RC2 released, 5.0 final scheduled for Januar For most of the packages, that statement holds true. A notable kink is MySQL. You can't upgrade them as smooth as you hope. In order to upgrade, you have to backup your data in /var/db/mysql or dump it into a file and delete the...

Install at your risk. http://www.theinquirer.net/?article=6835

Down here in Malaysia, our tax regime is not as rigid as the US and the Aussies. The only tax that commoners pay are our income. There are no tax nor vat levied on most essential products that we buy, if they are at all taxable (most products don't have the burden of tax). I notice that in the...

I read it somewhere, this year, that the hackers no longer consider Windows platform a viable and "fun" endeavour, it's way too easy, they decided to go after others, UNIX and Linux primarily. Apparently, the only thing Win32s are as any good are as learning tool. I think either the The...

The Jojo, Have you tried ALSA?

Mudvayne - Not Falling

MAM and MAS. The latter is the latest.

In plain English, the execution of the program is done in the background. Yu may have noticed that if you type, say find /usr/local -name httpd.conf, the shell will not return to a prompt until the find completes. The & allows the control immediately be returned to the console, freeing you to do...

As to look for the current WM, you can always check .xinitrc file for exec command that starts it.

Ctrl+Alt+Backspace is the command key to use. However, if the WM has an easy to use logout button such as KDE (I use KDE3 and TWM on occasion), you'll be out no the console in no time. Use the command key if the WM misbehaves which is extremely rarely in my experience. I do that all the time...

Joining the discussion. If I have a VPN server and a client, to speed up the decryption process, do I install a IPSEC-capable NIC such as Intel Pro 10/100 S or 3COM-3CR990 on both ends or just the client/server? Thank you in advance.

Speaking of ports, I simply love them. Genius creation. The most appreciated feature of ports is that, the makefile will pull in every package that is a dependency of the to be installed port. If that port, especially php-4.2.3 requires 10 dependency packages to be installed before it can, the...

I'm using KDE on FreeBSD and it worked fine but the fonts AA are ugly for my taste. I'm even using Microsoft's TTF font packs. A query on the mailing list probably answered your question. GCC 3.2 won't compile properly on buildword processes. That's why it is shipped with 2.9.x. The upcoming...

Indeed cas, Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.

As explained by cas in this thread over at SR of the availability of PHY feature set on GigE and some Fast Ethernet, I'm curious over such benefits offered by implementing it on NICs. It is very informative but I'm still learning on why PHY design is one of the most appreciated attributes on any...

Thank you for your kind offer, YGPM. Sent the details in it.

After the last fiasco, I'm a bit hesitant to use CC on any of my purchase unless I have valid reason and with the right party. This forum seems to be a good avenue to do so :)

By wire or credit card. CC will be the preferable option.

Must be able to do international shipping. Why? MP cost more than twice as much here as XP. I have NewEgg in my list but they don't do international. Unless someone in the States is willing to purchase and ship it here. :)

Indonesians are really smart of fooling sellers and couriers alike. This is an old tactic; blatantly ask for direct shipment. The smartest of them all uses a new tactic, they gave you the wrong address which synonyms with their place, it could be somewhere else in another country, the courier...

Interesting reading, Jake. But I'm almost certain that Bush will launch the war regardless of the circumstances. So the bleeding hearts liberals (as to quote someone on SR) and most people of the world will lose. Plus the already ocean-deep dissent and hatred of the US by the Muslims...

I'm not all too familiar with Alsa. I used it once and that was it; configuring it with KDE arts server. Perhaps you can try searching inside the mailing-list for the specific problem.

Why did you go with OpenSound while AC97 support is available freely through Alsa in most Linux distros? Screwed you 15 bucks.

Oh, nForce doesn't take ECC.

blakerwry, Have you considered getting an Nforce board? NVidia has released drivers for the MAC, sound and VGA. If you want decent no-frills audio, I'd go for the nForce.

As XML takes precedence over HTML, XHTML is the way of the future. SOAP and XML-RPC are two of the main driving initiatives behind web services that going to ensure XHTML in addition of XML becomes the standard. I'm not very familiar with SOAP since I no longer own any of Microsoft .Net tools...

AFAIK, XHTML is an extension to the HTML 4.0 and it's primarily created with the usage of XML + XSLT. Since XML doesn't describe the layout/interface of a document, XSLT is used to do that. The output of those two produces XHTML documents.

I read slow, moreso the writes. Plus I don't write very often in English so I vote for 10 minutes. About the time i can read and correct the grammars and typos.
