    OpenSuse developpers upset!

    in Everything Else

    Posted

    Not sure everybody read that mailing list http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2006-11/msg03765.html

    but this is a thread started by Mark Shuttleworth to hire some developers of OpenSuse.

    Honestly I think that was a bit bold, however, reading the replies from the OpenSuse developers, I am tending to think "what the heck! those guys think they are!?"... as far as I am concern, Ubuntu has proved to be a solid, trustworthy Linux system... at least no need to mess up with RPM and get everything screwed up.

    :roll:

    I bought a new computer! (bragging)

    All in all, my computer was about 1600 US bucks. I've got no pic of mine, but

    this is the case.

    Those Rebel cases look swell (does anyone say "swell"?). Reminds me of the Antec 900 case, which also sports a 250mm fan (on top). I almost got the 900, until I realized its appearance sickened me. That SATA multibay interests me---I too have been wanting a file server for some time (USB external enclosures get REALLY old, I think I've racked up around 2 TB in total storage between enclosures and internal). I'm not understanding how that hooks up though, is there a larger SATA plug that's not on standard mobos? As for your mini-itx system, I'm also jealous, since I've toyed with the idea of getting one for a while now. I'd love to have one just to stream videos (movies, tv shows, etc.) off the network and display on my TV.[/url]

    Ya...

    I am 22 years old, got specialized in Computer Programing at the university...

    right now hired as Network Administrator...

    Almost sounds like the old good Forest Gump "Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get."

    Study some computer thing and they will put you somewhere else... if they ask you, can you do this!? and you do not know, then google it.

    The thing about education is about being able to learn by yourself.

    alright, i am out now :arrow:

    What laptop to get?

    in Questions

    Why don't you want a mac because you are going to run linux of some sort on it? With a mac you can run all three operating systems without the need for visualizing any of them.

    I've just got a MacBook Pro as my first Mac ever and I mainly got it because its has such a great spec, design and build quality, plus now that all of the Apple laptops are on their second revision all the problems with them originally are gone.

    I would say get a MacBook Pro or MacBook depending on what you want, even if you are going to format it and put linux on it completely. The advantage of Apple laptops is that I have had no problems finding linux support for all the hardware inside, where my friend with a Compaq has had an awful time.

    And no, I am not a Apple representative.

    MacBook Pro tends to heat quite a lot! is that because of the aluminum case?

    Bit late now, but when I needed some special jumpers for some seagate scsi drives I acquired, I emailed seagate and asked if they would kindly send me some. Which they did, with a nice insert saying enjoy your hard drives. So you could try asking cisco nicely, because its free and the worst thing they can do is say no.

    true... anyway can't find any old serial cable to use

    I did a google search for 2948g manual and got this link:

    http://www.cisco.com/application/pdf/en/us...a0080122191.pdf

    It seems to be what you need. It's 588 pages long and covers the specific model number of your switch.

    As for managing the device, have you tried connecting a console cable to the thing and managing it with either minicom or hyperterm.

    I'm going to guess that you're a linux guy by your handle, so I'll throw a bit of experience at you - I can never get a cisco device to work with minicom unless I create an rc file and open minicom with that file. Maybe I'm a loser, but that's the only way it works for me.

    For example:

    cat /etc/minicom/minirc.cisco

# Machine-generated file - use "minicom -s" to change parameters.

pu port             /dev/ttyS0

pu baudrate         9600

pu bits             8

pu parity           N

pu stopbits         1

    Don't worry with the machine generated bullcrap, just copy and paste that into /etc/minicom/minirc.cisco (as root).

    Then open minicom like this (as root)

    minicom cisco

    Works every time for me. If you find that your switch uses different settings, edit that file manually (or with minicom -s) and start minicom again. Don't waste your time hanging up and reconnecting within minicom.

    Have I said minicom enough? :)

    Hope that helps and I hope that document helps you. If you've been searching for hours you've probably already ran across it, though.

    [edit]

    Something else I just thought of, minicom and screen both use CTRL-A as their control keys so you're going to screw yourself if you open minicom in a screen window.

    Create yourself a bash alias like this in your .bashrc and root's.

    cat .bashrc | grep minicom

alias minicom='minicom -m'

    make sure you run: source ~/.bashrc as root (and your normal user) to activate the changes.

    I'm sure there's a way to run minicom as a normal user but I've never taken the time to figure it out.

    Thanks dude... i also got windows (just in case)... i will try that out..

    as for the console cable, did not have one.. guess I will have to build one tonight, i found this diagram

    http://ftp.digi.com/support/techsupport/co...RJ45--db9F.htm#

    one thing i wonder though, is would a rj45 rollover do it instead of the console cable?

    thx

    Hello guys

    we've just got a Cisco Catalyst 2948G Switch as a gift - and as all donations.. they come without manual...

    after hours looking for a manual on Cisco website, which i did not find...

    i then start wondering how in the world, you access that switch to configure it...

    there are no "mode" button, just plug the AC and voilà...

    anyone using a switch like that? tips?

    thanks

    Combine two dsl line?

    I'm not sure exacly what software would be involved (obviously some), but it seems to me that it doesn't matter hat provider the connections are from as long as they work. You would connect them (one way or another) to one computer which will now act as the default gateway for the network. That computer then decides where to send packets (have to be careful with TCP connections though, you don't want to sent the ACK through the connection you didn't send the SYN through) based on current load and number of connections established.

    not sure about the different ISP stuff... but anyway if you can stick with the same one..why not?

    You can only bond multiple lines from the same provider; this is the only way to share a single global IP between the individual links to achieve the true aggregate bandwidth.

    What you're probably trying to do is load balance, wherein you want to distribute traffic evenly (or weighted) over multiple routed links. This is possible, though more complicated to setup as the public IP address varies depending upon which link is used to transmit the packet. As a result, an entire layer four session (TCP or UDP) can only take place over one link.

    For example, an HTTP download from ISP A would be limited to the maximum bandwidth of that link, but you could run a second download from ISP B to utilize the remaining bandwidth from the second link. The upshot of this is that load balancing over multiple upstream ISPs provides some level of redundancy.

    no it would be using the same ISP... i though that by default every line you get would be using an IP?! maybe I am mistaking... but if it's possible for them to only assign on IP over two dsl connection.. then that's fine

    Its called load balancing/bonding/multilink, never really used it apart from a series of experiments with linking stolen wifi to my own connection, you just need a router with dual wan ports.

    any use?

    alright mate.. that works.. i got it!

    one question though... well let's say one ADSL line has a public IP address set and the other one I get would be like having a dynamic IP.. would both be bound having my fixed IP address?

    thx

    Ya... the subject says it pretty much

    if it sounds stupid.. forgive me then.. but I heard people who got to combine two dsl lines together and it acted pretty much as one... combining the upload and download speed

    is that really possible, anyone tried?

    thx
