Might have to save some of this stuff and memorise bits of it because it sort of says what I feel. I had a win 2003 small business server (SBS) from my old place of work. I was using it as a windows file server and as way to learn more ms, and had disabled/uninstalled the existing domain controller because it was using the old name from the place I had obtained it from and I couldn't find a way to just change it. Hadn't got round to setting up a new domain. Anyway, it served files ok without the domain thing but then it starts to mysteriously shut down on me. And I'm thinking gee ms is really crap. Then, whilst looking through the logs - while the damn thing was still on - I found it was turning itself off because I was violating the licence - for not using a feature (!). That wasn't the reason I ended up installing vmware/ubuntu over it though. The coup de grace came when I tried to upgrade internet explorer on it so I could test my web pages in yet another wretched version of that wretched browser. Pretty sure I had found the right version on the ms site; installed it and found that windows would hang when booting up. Played around with it in safe mode etc... but lost patience and moved on. -- Daniel Bush 2009/8/21 Rick Phillips <[email protected]> > BBC News is running a front page story about how Unix turns 40 this > month. > > http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8205976.stm > > I think it's pretty amazing to see the 40th birthday of Unix get such > high-profile exposure... > > Regards, > > Rick > > -- > SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ > Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html > -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
