our server just arrived today!! and there was an unexpected surprise in
it - a
lot of trouble though installing 7 on some of our older
machines (6.3 is easy and worked well too) because the cdrom doesn't
always cooperate. but we got it to work with some extra effort, because
we thought it would be better.
is it possible that the older versions work better on
wrong way to look at it. should we be directing our
thoughts to striping across partitions that we create over various
drives after the os has been installed on a small part of the first
drive?
is raid only for data or does the os get raided too?

why in diagram 20-3 of the handbook do they show 2 parity blocks though
for disk3 and disk4? why would you ever have more than 1 for any single
disk?

how over all the drives though #20.5.2 Redundant Data Storage has
me scratching my head! if there is complete mirroring, wouldn't the
disk space be cut in half as with raid1?
this is all very interesting and very new to us.

as moving to support
ultra3, so the existing seagate in there should be one of these.
therefore, the system will support any ultra3 scsi.

i've heard scsi hard drives are really good.
i've also seen at least one site which claims that ide easily
outperform scsi.
for the server we got (dual P3 1GHz 2M which will use raid), is one
preferable over the other? and what about sata?

something you can do though is to log on several times even from one
machine (or several - just coordinate it) and see if there is any
difference.

there is no problem once we are in - the cpu is idle 95% and you can
move around and do stuff without any
when we had 6.3 where we had no problems like this. also, would
there be such sporadic issues? shouldn't a reverse dns problem be
consistently problematic?

t generated the id_rsa.pub and id_rsa keys. it wouldn't work - and
apparently all the permissions were set correctly at both ends.
so we did the whole thing from scratch again - and this time it worked.
conclusion: the system is picky about the rsa key. :D :D

you had to work much harder to put on linux (especially X).
however, things are very different now and the *nix world offers a lot
more. if some people don't want this and prefer to pay for propriety,
more limited software then they can certainly find
en source there are many,
many opportunities. i've been using ion for about a year having tried
and liked kde, gnome, fluxbox, even plwm and many others.
rather than merely playing with some personal options here and there to
customize it, you can actually make your desktop ch
R
if i understood the original post correctly.

does anyone know why php package doesn't run from apache and you need
to install it from ports (selecting the apache option)
and i think it's great you can
ssh backups elsewhere.
i looked at some of the others (amanda, cpio i think) too and they
looked involved to me (admittedly this was several years ago so i

we've been using greylisting to block much of this, but some still gets

better for a user to
be in his own group? on slackware i recall users all went into the
users group.
one benefit i can see is that if a user has his own group then you
can effectively give others access to certain files by adding them to
that users group.
are there other reasons?
can be used through that.
jonathan is also correct in saying that freebsd is one of the best
documented systems ever!!
just man pw and you'll find useradd and all sorts of other goodies!
