Back-up connection
by Timothy Murphy 18 Aug '13

18 Aug '13

Some weeks ago, I asked if anyone had set up a backup scheme for a remote server. By backup here, I mean an alternative arrangement that can be called upon if eg the DSL connection to the remote machine fails. I received one interesting reply: ====================== At home, besides my fixed lines, I have two gsm-modems, one low-speed (that came free of charge with one of my fixed lines), the other is high speed, but pre-paid, normally off) ====================== I meant to respond at the time, asking for further details, but forgot, and now I have lost the original message. So now I am posting again, asking if anyone has implemented any such arrangement. If you have, I would be very interested to hear the details. In my case, I spend time in two countries - Ireland and Italy - and have servers in each place. The problem in both places is that the ADSL modem sometimes goes off, and the only way to turn it back on seems to be to disconnect and re-connect the power supply. -- Timothy Murphy e-mail: gayleard /at/ eircom.net tel: +353-86-2336090, +353-1-2842366 School of Mathematics, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland

Binaries are not open by definition. They are built for one specific environment by one specific compiler and one or both both of those may not be covered by a GPL of some sort. How then can such a binary be considered a derived work under the GPL? The GPLs that I have read are concerned with the source and only the source. From that source you may build the software without consideration of the nature of the build tools and therefore the results (binaries) I believe are not, and meaningfully cannot be, covered by the GPL. -- *** E-Mail is NOT a SECURE channel *** James B.

OT: laptop recommendations for CentOS6
by carlopmart 17 Aug '13

17 Aug '13

Hi all, First of all, sorry for the OT. I need to buy a new laptop for my work. My prerequisites are: - RAM: 6/8 GiB (preferably 8 GiB) - Processor: Core i7 - Disk: up to 500 GiB for SATA, 128 GiB for SSD. - Graphics card: Intel HD (I really hate to use Nvidia or ATI Radeon graphics cards). The most important tasks will be: - Surf the web :) - Read email - And the Most important task: I need to install complete virtual test labs on it using KVM, Xen and VMware suites to run several different types of OSes: RHEL, CentOS, OEL, Solaris-like, BSD, Windows 2012/2008 R2, etc. Any suggestions?? My first choice will be Toshiba or Lenovo laptops and of course it needs to be 100% compatible with CentOS6 (or almost at 95%). Thanks.
