They offer RHEL, which is targeted at servers (and people with money), and Fedora which is targeted at experimenters (free). Neither are seen as viable options for business desktop computers as RHEL is too server oriented and Fedora is too unstable. Neither has by themselves, or combined have all the instalation options that RHL had. Red Had announced they were thinking about re-entering the desktop market, so far it has not happened. IMHO their dropping the Core from Fedora 8, was an indication that it will be based on Fedora, and probably marketed using that brand, such as Fedora Pro or some similar name.

However, I think that it's important to say this, and that it applies to ALL of the free webmail providers, not just Google. As someone who has been involved with a lot of commerical research over the years, I would NEVER want to use a email service I did not control for my company's email. Google and all the others, data mine your email. They claim that it is for advertising purposes, but one can never be sure. Just knowing what a company is discussing, can give you insider information. For example, I worked for a place that had a particular computer. It was used for a specific purpose. If we had joined that companies public user list, we would have been advertising that we were developing a product. No one could figure that out just by knowing that we had that computer. However the project leader was a well known expert in their field, and knowing that he had one would be enough for the competition to connect the dots. How hard would that be for someone scanned their email? It's been done in other venues, IBM had a free patent search database before the USPTO. They data mined the queries and had a group working on using the results. If someone did a search which could be used as an idea for a product, they took it. It was both legal and ethical because they said something in their TC. Another case are domain registrars who data mine whois requests. If you search for a domain that is not in use, the registrar holds it and raises the price. :-) There is a company which sells a product that blocks these kind of security holes and does not let you send attachments, discuss confidential keywords, etc on free mail accounts.

Also, your security nazi^H^H^H^Hadministrator has no control over the login policies, password policies, or anything else that has to do with security, oh, but they are allowed to bang their heads to the wall if something goes wrong and they need google's help, because talking to the wall is the equivalent of google human support (unless they're lawyers in which case google will be happy to comply).

SMS via bluetooth?
Since we were talking about the groupware thing, and Googles SMS appointment reminder, I was wondering about implementing it without using Google. The obvious way is to use viCQ to send messages, but then you are letting possibly confidential details out without knowing it. For example, your wife and children's names (which make many a password), birthdays, business associates, etc. Perhaps you are client number 8? My second choice is the screen scraping sendsms scripts, which I no longer use. I have no idea if they still work. I went to vICQ, but never use it either, I come from an SMS challenged enviornment. :-) To me the best choice is via a Bluetooth phone. Then you send your message directly over your cellular phone network which reduces the number of hands in the process and your SP is legally bound to some confidentiality. My wife has a Nokia cell phone with a bluetooth connection to her PC. Using Nokia PC Suite one can use it to send SMSs. Is there a program to do it from Linux? I understand it is not free, but if you are doing this on a company wide basis, you can negotiate cheaper or free SMS service from your cellular phone company. Geoff. -- Geoffrey S.

Could it be Google Envy? Does anyone know if Oracle ever managed to steal any customers with their hosted mail solutions? I don't know how about you but as early as circa 2003 I became a bit familiar with the hosted exchange server market available in the US (the startup I worked for in Israel used a hosted exchange server in the US, the connection went up and down like a 2 cent whore, so the frustration saved from the network admin by not having to maintain it was replaced by the frustration of 15 users for not having a reliable Lookout connection (and Lookout, being a typical MS application, not coping with this very well)). For people who just have to use Exchange this might be a good go-between as managing a private exchange server can be indeed a major resource drain (with the caveat that the connection to it is reliable). overall maintenance of a mail system: storage, backups, system administration, upgrade path of hardware, maintenance contracts for hardware, etc etc). I'm not sure you can save on these anyway - you'd want to backup e-mails even from your hosted solution, wouldn't you? And you'll have some sort of a shared file server anyway (which will require all of the above). All you save is the headache of having to figure out the right click path whenever you have to configure the damn thing, and understand the quirky MS network terminology. --Amos

Took me 5 minutes to discover it's spelled Puppet, and 20 more of reading through all the FAQs and manuals to realize it does management, not provisioning. You can look at it both ways. We use puppet (still learning it) to provision a few Xen guests remotely. Right now we base the install on an existing Xen image (because cpan install is such a mess that the external software provider just dropped us an image). Just yesterday I noticed something called rollout ( http://dparrish.com/category/projects/rollout/). It's a rip-off of provisioning software developed in my previous workplace which is used to provision 500+ physical RHEL servers (compiled locally from source). The original code is a bit horrendous (being developed by system admins, not programmers) but does the job extremely well. (to clarify, my experience is with the original code, yesterday I just noticed this web site and from the description (and having heard the name of the author before) I'm sure it's just a copy of what I used there over a year ago). The idea is that you sort of assert what software should be installed on the server (be it rpm's, cvs checkouts or whatever) using a giant Perl Hash to describe individual machines, classes of machines and software packages. It can also control any bit of the system configuration and the idea is that you can just kickstart a machine and it will automatically pull down the perl script and configuration at the end of the kickstart process and install everything from there. Individual software package have an opportunity to plugin their own iondividual configuration into the mix and since it's all in perl you have full flexibility to do anything you like (including hacking your foot off with a Swiss Army Chainsaw, of course). The idea is that you should be able to just turn on the machine and forget about it - remember the context it was developed in - 500+ servers which could be literally on the other side of the continent and you want to allow the ops people to just kick-start a replacement server during the night until someone can come over to look at the problem in the morning. You can still update configuration from it later (e.g. add another package or change a config and re-run rollout to apply the change) but this is used mostly during development. For production or staging use it is expected to be used from kickstart, as lint will accumulate over time (it doesn't know about removing unused packages left behind, for instance, or removing old version of the configuration). I'll make it clearer: I'm looking for a product that will allow me to remote-install blades and tower machines via PXE from a smart kickstart or other type of image server. Management after provisioning is a bonus, not a must. Sounds like rollout is just what you want. Cheers, --Amos

I don't have adsl. In my case the problem starts at hot. the first 2 hops belong to hot and the 3rd hop is 012. The 80% packet lost is in the first hop. The 2nd hop another 20%. I have MPLS without dialer. Hi Sara, If you have access to a machine somewhere that runs tcpdump, then use hping commands from your MPLS to that machine in order to see if the packet loss is occuring on the outgoing or on the return trip. That is, hping out 50 packets. Check to see how many of those get to the target and then check to see how many of those that got to the target got back to you. If there is a more packet loss on the return leg than on the outgoing leg I would suspect a routing problem. If there is more loss on the early hops of the outgoing leg then I suspect either congestion or physical transmission problems with the final repeater or router. How do I use different routing? Any idea of which ips should I put? You can't if you dont have a static IP. Well, I guess that you could check the routing to your first hop out that has a routed IP address by using various foreign traceroute web pages. If the routing problem is low enough and there is only one BGP router through which your packets can pass, then you might not be able to see the routing problem. I was able to see the routing problem that I had at Netvision last week because I was able to access my line from different Netvision border routers because Netvision is pretty big. It was really clear that one particular border router was getting bad information from an internal router. I know someone who is very nice at 012. She belongs to service dep, and she promissed to send someone who knows well unix/linux. I will see what I can do today. Otherwise, www.tluna.co.il is the answer. I put last year a complaint there and they started to call me (not vice versa). The problem was solved. There is another weird thing which I don't understand: the ip 213.57.43.199 shows IP address: 213.57.43.199 Reverse DNS:[Timeout] Reverse DNS authenticity: [Unknown] ASN:8584 ASN Name: UNSPECIFIED (Barak AS) I don't belong to barak. Someone at 012 told me they have agreements and they use each router on the way. Most suppliers have agreements for routing between them instead or or as well as routing through the IIX. In addition many suppliers purchase overseas bandwidth from BBL or Barak/Netvision. You can probably ask Hot if they use Barak/Netvision. - yba http://www.dnsstuff.com/tools/ipall.ch?domain=213.57.43.199 If someone can explain this, I will be glad. On 3/29/08, Jonathan Ben Avraham [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hi Sara, Sounds like you should consider switching suppliers. Regarding my problem with Netvision reported last week, I was able to show Netvision the difference in results (5% loss vs 70% loss) when using different routes through Netvisions AS, mainly depending on where the connection originated but this did not actually prove that there was a routing error AFAIK. For some reason I didn't think to test if the packet loss was symmetric (outgoing as well as incomming). That would probably have been as close as you could get to a proof of routing error. Does your packet loss depend on where you enter 012 from (i.e. from Med1, from the IIX, from 012 ADSL)? Is the packet loss symmetric? That is do you lose the same percent of packets on packet going out as comming in? From my experience with Netvision, the level of service that you get at the ISP depends on who knows you, or who knows someone who knows you.

They have a harsh firewall on the main switch. ALL UDP ports are blocked.
