Re: [Wlug] Not enough exposure to the Sun

by Mike Leo

Thanks for all the replies...I'll look into the "Red" book. As far as hardware, can those who offered send me a price on what they have? Of course I would like the best of what you have, but nothing terribly expensive. Dual CPU if possible, but not necessary. Do Sun's take standard RAM? I beleive they are mostly SCSI, and if so, what type? UltraSCSI, SCSI 2, etc etc, as I may have drives to use. And video...standard 25pin D SVGA? Ethernet too would be important. Thanks again!

I have a neighbor that works for Sun. I have some decent stuff. Star Office, Solaris and other stuff.. What kind of stuff are you looking for. If you REALLY want to get into sun stuff, I might be able to get you an spark station.

Not enough exposure to the Sun

I was looking to get some exposure to Solaris and Sun "stuff". Anyone have suggestions or any old, but good, Solaris equipment? I know nothing about Sun stuff, but I guess the Sparc line is there desktop/workstation line? Any info is greatly apreciated!

Follow up to tonights meeting

by Mike Leo

Howdy! We covered a few topics tonight, including this one: http://news.com.com/2008-1082_3-5065859.html?tag=lh and this one: http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?t=141352 And more discussions about gentoo vs (insert distro here). We covered some iPod things, and maybe helped someone with a perl script. I showed off my little Dell L700 laptop and enlightenment desktop manager...very lightweight and has nice eye candy, but no icons. Lots of discussions around Intel and AMD as well...hopefully we will see that pdf regarding the lawsuit... Also, I was just slashdot'ing: Linux: Unsealed SCO Email Reveals Linux Code is Clean Posted by CowboyNeal on Thursday July 14, @06:53PM from the we-tried-to-tell dept. rm69990 writes "In a recently unsealed email in the SCO vs. IBM case, it appears that an outside consultant, hired by SCO in 2002, failed to find copyright violations in the Linux Kernel. This was right around the time Darl McBride, who has before been hired by litigious companies as CEO, was hired. It appears that before SCO even began its investigation, they were hoping to find a smoking gun, not believing that Linux could possibly not contain Unix code. Apparently, they ignored the advice of this consultant." I guess thats about it! ____________________________________________________ Start your day with Yahoo! - make it your home page http://www.yahoo.com/r/hs

Re: [Wlug] Is there a simple Unix shell command to list dates backwards?

by douglas.r.aker＠verizon.com

Thanks Theo, this is exactly what I was looking for. I actually emailed Thomas Esken (GNU gcal developer), and the best gcal example he could come up was... gcal -f/dev/null -Hno -#0*d1#999 -c-Qxld20- %20070706 But this command works only up until the beginning of any calendar year, i.e. it doesn't easily cross year boundaries like your suggestion does. FYI: I need this sort of command in order to generate charts (using XML:SVG) that display metrics from some DB2 Connect gateways that I admin. The title of one chart might be: Total Daily Connections, last 100 days. If data for any day is missing, I want the chart to reflect that. Currently, the charts I'm creating handle missing days poorly, they simply cover up gaps in the data with the next previous day's metric. Thanks again, Doug p.s.
