  Re: Another request to LDlite programmers...
 
(...) barring the groupwise servers, our main file servers (9 of them that users "touch") have been upgraded in place, and for some reason... they didn't like it. when DS is requested to be opened, it takes like 3.5 mins (weird) we haven't had time (...)

  Re: Another request to LDlite programmers...
 
(...) I think that they have in fact removed a few things from the 6.1 installl disk (it's a pretty tight squeeze), but it shouldn't have been anything remotely mainstream. In my (humble, of course) opinion, the 6.1/6.2 installer is terribly broken. (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) jazz) (...) That's strange. Servers on our internal network were extremely long-lived in the 4.x days, even with 10000's of objects in the tree. (Well, the non-Groupwise servers, anyway.) What conditions do you think lead to your servers going (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Another request to LDlite programmers...
 
(...) soon to be netware 5. we're upgrading. All our servers are at 4.2 (or 4.11, same thing, different support packs) we're busy trying to merge the current enterprise of 3000 (with groupwise and zenworks/winstall/NAL and all that jazz) into a (...)

(...) hey now, sometimes they live longer than a week... we have one that's been up 100s of days... (it's one we don't do much to) :) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) I'm willing to bet that she's admin over a NetWare 5 site. NetWare 4 was far more stable. I sometimes wonder why we even let 5.0 out the door (not that I had any control over that!) Cheers, - jsproat (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Another request to LDlite programmers...
 
(...) not sure yet (only tried it today, after burning a CD at work), and the first thing I get asked after the bootloader is "please insert your driver disk". It doesn't matter which mode I choose (graphical, text, or expert), it doesn't say what (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Another request to LDlite programmers...
 
(...) Curious -- why won't 6.1 install? (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

(...) shop (...) yah, she has 3000 users, I have 200 - she has to reboot her servers at least once a week (if they don't crash before that) while my servers average uptime of about 200 days, at heavy load... and that's only cause then I take them (...)

  Re: Another request to LDlite programmers...
 
(...) heheh. that's almost the exact situation we have here. 486/25 running RH6.0 (6.1 won't install, didn't have time to get it to yet), compared to PIII/500 running win95... I can't say the linux is faster, at least not in X :P At work, however, (...) (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Another request to LDlite programmers...
 
(...) heh, we have enough holy wars at home... I'm a novell admin at a enterprise shop (gwu.edu) and he's a linux admin at a small shop (giccs.georgetown.edu) it's pretty weird.. but we try not to fight about it :) We do have a lot of people try and (...)

(...) Heehee -- all he needs is a 486 for Linux. :) Linux on a 25 MHz. 80486 will blow the socks off a 700 MHz. Pentium III running Win95. :) (j/k) --Todd (25 years ago, 8-Mar-00, to lugnet.publish, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Redhat 6.1 up and running, Vmware 2.0 installed
 
(...) They've finally hooked up drag&drop for bookmarks -- that was the main blocker for me. But it still doesn't have SSL, so you need to keep something around for that for now at least. (25 years ago, 5-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Redhat 6.1 up and running, Vmware 2.0 installed
 
(...) I've been thinking about trying some other browser (sorry netscape, cronning killall netscape every night is getting annoying). Are the snapshots good enough for reasonable use? :) Dan (25 years ago, 5-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Redhat 6.1 up and running, Vmware 2.0 installed
 
(...) Just Wait For Mozilla. No, really, I mean it. I've been using the nightly builds for a while now, and it's getting really good. (25 years ago, 5-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Switch from Gnome to KDE - Turbolinux 6
 
(...) Pssh. Details are good. (25 years ago, 5-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Redhat 6.1 up and running, Vmware 2.0 installed
 
(...) I have to agree with that!. In my experience, it's been quite stable, and its rendering engine is excellent, but it's got The Most Heinous Memory Leak (even up through the most recent release from two weeks ago) and its font support and (...)

  Re: Switch from Gnome to KDE - Turbolinux 6
 
(...) well, there's two issues here. First, you can use gnome WITH fvwm - since gnome is not a window manager. Fvwm 2.2.x (the current stable version) has support for gnome, it's not complete yet - most things will work just fine though. The next (...) (25 years ago, 4-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Redhat 6.1 up and running, Vmware 2.0 installed
 
Well, RH 6.1 is running, knows I have two celerons, etc, etc. Vmware 2.0 is installed. So far I have Win2k Pro installed, planning on putting Win2k Server and both NT4 Workstation and Server on as well. Need some more ram and it looks like I missed (...)

  Re: Switch from Gnome to KDE - Turbolinux 6
 
(...) debate==good. :) Let's say I wanted to ditch Gnome and try out fvwm -- but with the option to switch back to Gnome if it didn't work out -- what would I type? My biggest beef with Gnome is that it has *terrible* keyboard support. I'm forced to (...) (25 years ago, 4-Mar-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
