Linux functional equal to Novell SFT concept. Is there a ready to use and "Free" version
by Oren Beck 02 Apr '08

02 Apr '08

Recently several situations have come up where a Linux based incarnation of the old Novell SFT would be valued. SFT seems to make more sense than ever for high $ per minute situations. What can we do to replicate this in Linux? A concise explanation of the concept is: http://www.linktionary.com/s/sft.html. Since Novell has an involvement of sorts with Linux there is a logical elegant progressive sense here too -- Oren Beck 816.729.3645

Hi Jeff, I completely understand being financially challenged. While I have no answer for your existing problem, I may be able to give you a push in what may be a possible solution to your problem for when you get your IRS booster check. I ran across this in Tech Republic earlier and immediately thought of you. Here, check it out: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/opensource/?p=187&tag=nl.e011 I have no idea if that will help you or not. But, maybe, jog some different ideas for you. Good Luck!

Want to tweak my system? (paying gig)

Hi all, I posted many weeks back about a server I've got that's incorrectly reporting available space. I'll spare everyone the rehash except to say: I'd like it fixed, and I'd like to pay one of you smart folks to do it. Scope: . SSH in . Figure out why a drive with 250 gb of space only shows 125gb or so . Figure out if it can be fixed non-destructively (i.e., without removing all the data on there now) . If it can be fixed non-destructively, make the fix Happy to pay via PayPal. Interested parties hit me off-list with a rough estimate. Thanks, Greg Brooks gregb(a)west-third.com

Re: Does Linux have a CMOS Setup Application, possibly from a LiveCD?

According to http://kclug.org/pipermail/kclug/2008-March/032927.html it was addressed to the list, just like this one. If it were addressed only to you, it would have been because I felt sorry for your insufficient answer and that I wished to fill you in so that you could amend your previous message to the list, saving face, and appear more useful/knowledgeable to the other members by citing actual, googleable names like IPMI, rather than "requires hardware" from "Someone", and by being a little bit more correct. But it wasn't, because I do understand how to operate the internets. And speaking of more specific useful information, the pci KVMoIP card is called a MegaRAC G2, though there are later models with more bells and whistles. This one emulates a keyboard and mouse to the host system over USB ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Jonathan Hutchins <hutchins(a)tarcanfel.org> Date: Mon, Mar 31, 2008 at 8:02 PM Subject: Excuse me? To: Billy Crook <billycrook(a)gmail.com> Why is this addressed to me? Why would you rephrase what I had said and send it back to me? I can understand why you might want to take credit for a slightly more thorough answer on the list, but why send it _only_ to me? Do you just not understand how to use your email software?
