RE: [NF] Is it really this quiet, or is the eMail service having problems?

2008-09-18 Thread David Smith
In my experience ( sys admin for a large auto dealer group in upstate NY
)linux doesn't work for two reasons. First, their websites tend to search
for IE and install ActiveX components. In theory, this could be overcome in
Linux via Wine or Crossover. The other reason is they write ( or hire third
parties to write ) technician tools that only run within windows. It's funny
though, the Chrysler diagnostic tools run Linux but the software is windows
only. ADP runs on Red Hat, but won't issue a Linux client. It's really
amazing. They really need to come out of the closet. 

I have successfully run Ubuntu, Linspire and Debian distributions on PC's
that are used primarily by salespeople and it has worked out nicely. Linux
has come far enough along so networking, printing, internet and office apps
are all pretty much bulletproof for simple environments. Outside of the FUD
factor, there's no real reason why 80% of a normal dealership couldn't run
Linux-based OS's and gain all the benefits of not using windows.

I wonder if there a program like this that enables recording VOIP phone
calls, rather than (or in addition to) analog.  It looks like the Advanced
Phone Recorder does the job for the analog type of voice transmission.

2008-09-18 Thread Jeff Johnson
The way phone tag works is that it redirects what ever messaging service 
you have.  For example I have Verizon standard messaging service.  After 
you subscribe to phone tag, you send a star code to your messaging 
service and it redirects your messages to phone tag.  There phone tag 
records the message and emails you text of the message and a wave file. 
  It also texts you who and when someone called and hung up - which is 
pretty cool.

Gil Hale wrote:
 Is MS still relevant?
 
 Unfortunately, yes.  But on a brighter note, a little less so than before
 due to FireFox, Mac and Linux eating (nibbling) out of its trough.
 
 The other day I was chatting with an associate who has been a True Blue M$
 fan for years.  He makes a great living setting up, configuring, upgrading,
 etc., anything and everything M$.  He made the mistake of asking me how I
 like MS Server 2008.  I don't really know how I like it.  I am not running
 it, and don't plan to., I replied.
 
 I was expecting him to get all over me, but instead he asked what I am doing
 for Servers.  I told him I still have a few Server 2003 machines, but have
 cut to Linux, first Suse Server, then Ubuntu Server.  He was intrigued as to
 why I made that move, so I told him it was not so much the money (MSDN ISV
 takes a major part of the sting out there), but more the lack of solution
 value when I look at Ubuntu Linux that prevents me from staying with M$
 Server OS solutions.
 
 Surprisingly he told me the M$ license fees to himself and his clients are
 getting ridiculously high, and has actually been looking to look at Linux
 for File, Web,  eMail Server purposes for himself and clients.  He has been
 losing bids to other folks who are using Linux for Servers (mostly, not so
 much desktops yet).  He is looking at doing the same thing just to get his
 pricing competitive by knocking out M$ Server OS expenses.  In the past he
 could have avoided making this move, but now things are tight and it is
 coming down to business survival.
 
 I did an Info Dump on him (poor bastard), and for once I actually blazed a
 trail for him to follow me (Linux), instead of the other way around.  He may
 only support about 80 small businesses, but if he is looking for
 alternative solutions to reduce pricing for client projects, then others
 are/will also.  A lot of little nibbles can quickly lead to Death By 1,000
 Cuts g...  Not that I want to see M$ crash and burn (it does that by
 itself very nicely already g), but I think it is time for M$ to get set
 back a few notches with their Greed Grab (yeah, I am still bitter re: the
 Terminal Server CAL duplicate license fees).
 
 BTW, have I told y'all how much I like my Ubuntu Linux Sever lately?
 heh-heh...
 

:-)  BTW Gil, I used to have a Debian desktop machine a couple of years
ago. Reading your Ubuntu ads :) I downloaded a copy of KUbuntu (sorry, I
really like KDE better) and used it as a boot CD, problem is it didn't
detect my Wi-Fi connection. Back to W$, google, but the answers all
require downloading stuff and I have no internet access from Kubuntu. I
know I could find out where to get the packages, download them from W$,
put them where I can get to them from KUbuntu and then install them from
disk. But it sounds too complicated and all I want is a taste of how it
would work (yes, internet access is an important part of the taste, I
want to see what I have available for easy installation etc.). S...
do you know of any easier workarounds?

TIA

it is something to do with my end of the connection, me getting booted for
abusing ProFox g, or if everyone else is getting nothing also..  So,
rather than sending , If you do not get this eMail please let me know kind
of logic goofism, how about anyone seeing this eMail replying to my

 I have not seen any ProFox eMail come across for a while.  Just
 wondering if
 it is something to do with my end of the connection, me getting booted
 for
 abusing ProFox g, or if everyone else is getting nothing also..  So,
 rather than sending , If you do not get this eMail please let me know
 kind
 of logic goofism, how about anyone seeing this eMail replying to my
 [EMAIL PROTECTED] address.

 Thanks!

 Gil

Did y'all catch the article in this (next) month's PC World, where one
writer says it may be a good time for folks (small businesses) to move to
Linux?  Very well done.  Unfortunately it would not work with auto
dealership operations.  But I have at least been moving home users into
Ubuntu Linux, mostly to stop the incoming calls for help cleaning up a
trashed PC (call for help = I do it as another favor).  It is amazing, I
have not gotten many calls at all asking for any help with fouled PCs since
I cut over about 14 home user PCs.  I do ask once in a while if they are
running okay, and thus far not one person has asked to go back to Windows.
Linux is doing the job, and that is fine with them.

 Is MS still relevant?

Unfortunately, yes.  But on a brighter note, a little less so than before
due to FireFox, Mac and Linux eating (nibbling) out of its trough.

The other day I was chatting with an associate who has been a True Blue M$
fan for years.  He makes a great living setting up, configuring, upgrading,
etc., anything and everything M$.  He made the mistake of asking me how I
like MS Server 2008.  I don't really know how I like it.  I am not running
it, and don't plan to., I replied.

I was expecting him to get all over me, but instead he asked what I am doing
for Servers.  I told him I still have a few Server 2003 machines, but have
cut to Linux, first Suse Server, then Ubuntu Server.  He was intrigued as to
why I made that move, so I told him it was not so much the money (MSDN ISV
takes a major part of the sting out there), but more the lack of solution
value when I look at Ubuntu Linux that prevents me from staying with M$
Server OS solutions.

Surprisingly he told me the M$ license fees to himself and his clients are
getting ridiculously high, and has actually been looking to look at Linux
for File, Web,  eMail Server purposes for himself and clients.  He has been
losing bids to other folks who are using Linux for Servers (mostly, not so
much desktops yet).  He is looking at doing the same thing just to get his
pricing competitive by knocking out M$ Server OS expenses.  In the past he
could have avoided making this move, but now things are tight and it is
coming down to business survival.

I did an Info Dump on him (poor bastard), and for once I actually blazed a
trail for him to follow me (Linux), instead of the other way around.  He may
only support about 80 small businesses, but if he is looking for
alternative solutions to reduce pricing for client projects, then others
are/will also.  A lot of little nibbles can quickly lead to Death By 1,000
Cuts g...  Not that I want to see M$ crash and burn (it does that by
itself very nicely already g), but I think it is time for M$ to get set
back a few notches with their Greed Grab (yeah, I am still bitter re: the
Terminal Server CAL duplicate license fees).

BTW, have I told y'all how much I like my Ubuntu Linux Sever lately?
heh-heh...

What is special about auto dealers that Linux wouldn't work for them? 
What ties them to Windows? Why not break that tie?

Funny you mentioned this.  I have been trying to figure out how to 
completely make the move and was reading an article about Quickbooks. 
There are several applications that are preventing a 100% move for me:

Quickbooks:  http://www.linux.com/feature/41026
Delorme TOPO USA 7.0
Citrix access to corporate networks using Internet Explorer
Visual FoxPro

I have found an alternative to most everything else.  Not bad, huh?
