I'm not sure what they are running on the SAN atm, won't really know till I start. I was hoping fro FC but will see what happens, it's going to go under planning etc when I get there and will be trying a few different options. TBH I would prefer to be going with RHEL and KVM, but will see how we go. Thanks for the tips though, I will keep doing some research so I can hit the ground running.

In two weeks I start my new Sysadmin job and virtualisation will be the first project I will be working on along with normal duties and this is the proposed solutions. Anyone done any waork with them or set one up. I have done the ESXi on a PC thing before, but haven't really done it with clusters. Will be using iSCSI SAN for storage. Any tips or pitfalls to look out would be nice. I will get it done anyway but I figure it won't hurt to start gathering info.

I have been eyeing off xmonad for a very long time, but on a 12" netbook it is kind of lost, but i am thinking of going arch with xmonad on my mac pro with a 24" and 22" screen
-
Even better, I decided to go with fluxbox but I am reinstalling Arch first.
-
I have already gone back to openbox on Arch

The new Dexter was quite good, I especially liked the "I've had a bad week" scene.

I'm waiting for the BlackBerry Playbook. Has eReader software loaded with it, as well as full color screen + 1080p video playback and recording, front and rear cameras, Flash hardware accelerated video playback and 802.11 a,b,g and n. Smaller than the iPad and more powerful. Also lets you tether to your phone for for mobile internet access.
Be aware e-ink shits on other display as far as reading goes but the kindle and the tablet are very different devices.

I am a long time hater of KDE, but recently copped some flack because I bag the shit out of it but haven't used it for ages so in order to shut up the whingers I decided to give it a spin. It's only my laptop that is used for nothing more than web browsing and irssi so it's not that big of an issue. I will probably go to fluxbox or if desperate back to Gnome. Don't fret, I am not an advocate of KDE by any stretch.

Arch 64 bit running KDE

We're meant to be nerds/geeks anyway, who gives a shit about being a TV personality?
Harrison still remains as the best presenter since the shows inception, hands down.
The whole ADD, tweaking on caffeine is a little old but it's part of where we have come from, it needs to come out now and then anyway. I can live with it seeing as Darren as made a concentrated effort to use nothing but Linux this season.

I got the new Kindle 3 with 3G connection. I fucking love it.
-
We recommend new users try ubuntu or fedora to start with as they are the most used amongst our membership, and we hand out free discs if people want them.

so, white and nerdy, you have had good experiences and it worked out, but okiwan it didnt last?
yeah, online doesnt seem to work out to much. seems like the only thing it works for is like, writing a kernel or something......
so what did you do white and nerdy to get people that are linux users to come? how do you locate them?
Yeah mate is has been positive for me. Been going for over 12 months now, and we all get along pretty well. Some of the older guys get a bit lost when we nerd right out with more advanced stuff but I totally enjoy it.

I am lucky enough to be a member of a LUG where I live. We actually got Linux Australia to provide us with some space to host our own website.
I also hold a monthly hackerspace under my house for the guys to tinker, and we are also going to be holding additional meetings at the local library. We also promote Free and Open Source software at the local University during it's open day.

Sons of Anarchy, it's fucking amazing.

Was the money raised for how many hours they played or for how many times a 12 year old called them ghei? You could solve world hunger with that.

We export fosters because it tastes like shit amd nobody here drinks it.

Lol just to semi screw my arguements on open source, I am ordering a used mac pro next week lol.

They did buy the older ones from memory and still utilise it, if I can find the article regarding the custome firmware I will post a link.

He's a braver man than I am lol

The slim ps3 have never been able to have Linux installed afaik, you will need a fat model, that has not been updated, though I do recall hearing that some people have been working on this. Sony has provided the military a custom firmwar to allow them to continue using it.

I checked out obsoleet and was totally impressed. Yeah it's not HD, but it doesn't matter when the content is interesting. I will definitely be keeping up with this one. Props to famicoman for his efforts and moonlit for the tip.

There are indeed many smart indian engineers, the issue is the one that man call centres. It's not their fault, they are just trying to make a living. The issues lies with companies using overseas based call centres. I have had to do help desk support for the last 3 years and after a lot of hard work and showing my skills I have managed to land a sysadmin job, and i have 0 certifications. Never dismiss working at a help desk if you want to go places in iT, as long as you are prepared to do the hard yards.
Call centres suck but usually you can demonstrate you know much more than the person on the other end and get it escalated to the next level.
