OT: Which programming language should I use?
by Benjamin J. Weiss 28 Jan '05

28 Jan '05

Sorry for the OT post, just looking for a pointer from somebody who's been there and done that. I'm looking to write a program that will allow for managing documents that have been encrypted with AES. I want the program to be as cross-platform as possible, so at the least it needs to run in Win2K/WinXP and in linux X-windows (X.org). Now, I used to write in Java a few years ago, so I guess that's an option. My concerns are that back then Java was slow, and I don't know if there's an easy-to-use cross-platform crypto library for Java. I've seen at least one program that was written in python and Tkinter on the web that offers the source for running in linux, and they offer a .exe download. (http://www.axware.nl) I don't know how they do it, but I saw a claim on the web that python/Tkinter was a great cross-platform combo. The idea is that the user will type in a passphrase and the program will grab the file and either display it (if simple, like text) or launch another program (like pdf). I'll also need to figure out how to tell the program not to swap the memory to disk Any ideas? Thanks! Ben

Benjamin, Although Andrew is totally biased, Python does run well on Linux, Windows and the Mac. Python is hot! http://www.strombergers.com/python/perl_ha_ha_ha.html Rick

Secure server install
by Håvard Hebnes 27 Jan '05

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I'll try. When I do a minimum install of Centos, which default users should I delete (users that won't be needed on a server) It will be used for webhosting, mail, sql.. And, what partitions would you advice me to create? /root, /tmp, swap, /... should I have more? /Håvard

Coraid Ether Drives
by Eiliv Haugland 27 Jan '05

27 Jan '05

Hello My company is changing server software to CentOS on Dell equipment. At the same time we are expanding our RAID system from standard SCSI to either SATA, or the technology brought forward by Coraid using the AoE protocol. Before we take the final decision I am looking for some real experience with Coraid products on a scale of 30+ disks. We will be using a cluster of four servers with a mix of RAID10 and RAID5. Does anyone have any experience into this area Regards Eiliv Haugland Net2Work
