You might try Partition Magic 5.0 from Powerquest.
I think that fdisk has a size limitation,but I'm
not sure if Partition magic will work on a raid
setup.There should be faqs at powerquest's site
and if not try calling them.

Hi folks,
Any advise for a Linux newbie who is intending to use JSP for his thesis
work? I'm trying to write an indexing and retrieval web application that
can allow users to submit by their browser text files for index and
search for documents. Thinking of using JSP or servlets with Apache on
Linux. Can recommend a good IDE that allows me to work with servlets ? I
have downloaded JServ but haven't install it yet. I have also tried
JBuilder foundation for Linux and found it really crippled in terms of
features (versus the Windows version my company is using).
Any pointers, suggestions and advise would be greatly appreciated.
Please remove tag on email address to correspond.
Thanks in advance.

I can't speak for the 1837 specifically, but the 1836 works fine, all
three of the functions you mention are supported by RedHat 5.2 & 6.1 (the
distro's I've installed on my 1836-based machine). If it's the standard
1837 (with the Adaptec SCSI subsystem), it should work just fine. The
1837-L, with the LSI 53C896 SCSI subsystem, is a question mark to me, but
that's only because I haven't looked into that SCSI system, not having one
around.

Hi,
Apache can serve your frontpage made html files as well. Just put them
in the documentroot of apache. In httpd.conf you can see how apache is
configured, so the directorypath for the documentroot is also defined
in there. I can't tell you where httpd.conf on your system is, but you
can do a "locate httpd.conf" to find out. If locate says it has no
database, just run updatedb first.
If you're looking for html edittors under linux, you could take a look
at netscape composer (comes with communicator), coffeecup and bluefish.
You can look them up at www.freshmeat.net.

Why, yes, there are. But you're missing the point.
Instead of saying:
I want to do Y.
the question should be phrased:
I want to accomplish X. I think I can do this using Y.
Perhaps Y *is* the correct way of doing things. Perhaps X has nothing
to do with Y. *shrugs*
If you want good answers, you need to ask good questions.

"Modem control" refers to a set of signals sent across the interface
cable. They signal the readiness of the computer and attached devices
to send/recieve serial communications. The APC cables are *not* simple
9-pin serial cables, though, so you'll have to make sure you're using
the correct cable in order for everything to work. You can get the APC
part number for your cable by sending your UPS's S/N to APC's customer
support.
If you have the right cable, the next thing to do is make sure the
serial port is enabled in your system's BIOS. Some manufacturers
disable one or more of the serial ports by default (although I haven't
seen this on a motherboard in several years).

At this point, do you have a degree? In what field.
Clearly you have experience in UNIX system administration.
What statistics do you have? Did you fix problems quickly?
Average mean time to repair? Mean time between failures?

Working for peanuts for a year or so is a good way to get some
valuable experience. In 1980, I spent a year writing educational
software and teaching computer classes (using my software). At
the end of the year I went from $5/hour to $20K/year. I then took
the time to teach myself UNIX and went from $20K to $30K in Rochester
New York. As demand for my skills increased so did my salary.
If you can maintain the practice of upgrading your skills and
keep adding new skills, you can easily achieve increases of 20%/year
on average until reach the point where non-cash compensation (stock
options, stock payments, and "lifestyle" compensation such as travel.
If you merely "do your job", you typically only get 4-5% increases.

Southern California is very hungry for UNIX people. You need to know
the type of cash-flow this company has, and what your impact on that
cash-flow would be. If you are a junior member of a large
administration team, you probably wont get as much as you get if
you are the primary person accountable for keeping the systems running
when the systems are generating $1000/minute or better.

The typical rate for UNIX administrators with a college degree
and 1 year of experience is around $30K-$40K, depending on where
you live.

Not necessarily. Often, high performers quickly get promotions,
stock options, and bonuses that can be worth several times their
salary. By the end of my second year in Rochester, I'd produced
some impressive results. The company offered me options on 2000
shares of the company stock. Later they offered the ability to
convert to Non Qualified opitons at a much lower price. When the
company was sold, these options were worth almost $25,000 or nearly
60% of my salary at that time.
It's a good idea to get familiar with business and investing. There
are some powerful ways to get some huge leverage. If you start with
a successful and growing concern that is either publicly held or
pre-IPO, you can do very nicely if you stick around.

Express your concerns. Let them know that you are open to a
contingincy plan that would kick-in if you met certian specific
measurable results. Also give them the ability to give you
additional bonuses and salaries for unspecified contributions.
It's also a good idea to build your network while you are working.
Collect business cards of all vendors, coworkers, and customers as
appropriate. Don't be afraid to ask those people you have helped out
to put in a good word. These should be fed back to your manager
and you should praise your manager to his manager. It's politics,
but only 30% of most IT solutions are technical - the hardest part
is getting the support of all the other parties.
Offer to provide services that increase the company's visibility.
Speaking at conferences, submitting articles, and working as an
advisor to members of the press can be a very good way to increase
your value.
If you can establish yourself as a "star performer", your company
will do whatever it takes to keep you around. If you make your boss
look good, make your organization look good, and make your company
look good, they will want to make you look good.
A "star performer" can easily get offers of six figure incomes from
multiple organizations. Your employer knows this. Hopefully, they
will see that you are worth more to them as one of their employees
than as someone working for a competitor, a supplier, or a customer.
In some cases, when finances and policies make it impossible to
provide the proper compensation package, they will literally "push
you out the door". I have had this happen a few times. The employer
helped me find positions with suppliers or customers. Today, I'm
grateful they did this. In one case, I'd reached a position where
I couldn't be promoted within the group, but I was clearly providing
the quality of service that merited a promotion. They gave me
a generous reccomendation, and my next position was for a 30% increase
with an upward mobility path.

It will be important to add Solaris and UNIX administration
to your skill set. You want to be able to offer the ability
to transition from low-end product to a large-capacity system
like an E-10K or an SP/2.
The important thing is that - unlike your Microsoft-only trained
classmates - you are 95% of the way there. In fact, you can do
more to solve Linux problems that your Solaris gurus can do to solve
Solaris problems.

Maybe your config is just short on horsepower. Are you using Gnome or
KDE? Try it without those. Also, E is a resource hog. Try a simple, one
color background image without any fancy themes, and a lightweigh
windowmanager like Windowmaker or fvwm. Try 16 and 8bpp. Try putting
your 'unscaled' fonts first in your Fontpath, if they are not already.
The scaled ones use more CPU. Try Navigator only, no Communicator. Uses
a lot less memory, and is a bit faster, and more stable IMO. Use lynx or
w3m when you can for browsing. Make sure all your RAM is recognized and
SWAP is in use. Check XFree86.org for any tips/gotchas on tweaking your
graphics card.

Subject: Linux mailservers
Date: Tue, 07 Mar 2000 17:02:40 GMT
Hello all,
I'm looking into setting up a mailserver on a RedHat 6.1 box and there
are numerous offerings. Has anyone any real-life experiences of any
of these?
If anyone can recommend (or dissuade!) me from a particular product
I'd be very grateful. The system needs to be able to handle 1,000+
accounts and provide the usual stuff;
- mailboxes (delivery addresses)
- forwarding
- vacation etc. notice
- easy to maintain (and to install as well, ideally!)
- support web and POP3 clients as a minimum
I would prefer an Open Source solution but will certainly also
consider commercial offerings. Scalability, ease of administration
and robustness are my primary concerns.
Apologies if this isn't the correct newsgroup - I couldn't find any
generic linux-mail type groups :-)
Any advice, comments, experiences and thoughts gratefully received!
Cheers,
Andy.
