Fwd: How to get linux to pwn Win Servers via SMB?

Tristan Mendoza — 2012-05-14T02:30:42

I forgot to send this to ALG Tech-

I was thinking about (complaining!) Microsoft dominance in the workplace
as per job stuff.  I am pretty much dedicated for the moment on LPIC but
I think I will probably have to get an MCSA  due to job postings.
ugh

Have you run across respectable management tools with SMB for
administering AD domain controllers and stuff (from script or cmd line)?
It would be nice to get shell or perl scripts to manage AD LDS and such.

Phonon?

Robert Parkhurst — 2012-04-17T22:01:58

Hi everyone,

I'm getting into QT and playing with its audio and video APIs.  I
haven't really worked with Phonon and know that a while back it had a
really bad reputation for not working so I always went with ALSA if
possible.  Has anyone used Phonon more recently?  How is it?


Thanks,

Robert

Ah how the times have changed.... Computers thenand now

Robert Parkhurst — 2012-02-24T17:07:09

Here's an article a guy wrote comparing computers from today to
computers in....1995.  I forgot how high prices were...  Suddenly a
Blu-Ray DVD drive for my computer at $150 doesn't seem so expensive
when compared to a single speed CD-ROM drive from 1994 that cost $600!

installation order

Tristan Mendoza — 2012-02-21T04:46:38

Hey all,
Another webserver question.
I have been procrastinating building a webserver testbed for practice 
purposes, but have gotten sidetracked at work.
I am looking to place Kloxo on instead of CPanel, which will 
automatically install Apache and stuff (I wanted to do everything in 
CentOS the long way but it won't play nice with that).
I am wanting to put on Drupal, and maybe Plone (I know it's redundant).  
I also want to put on MediaWiki and anything else I should work with on 
LAMP for practice.
I don't think the install order of the latter stuff will matter.  Would it?
Also, if you can suggest anything I should add in as well, I could use 
some suggestions so fire away.
-T

p.s.  A while back I was asking about http.conf static IP virtual hosts 
and I never could get an answer on it.  I didn't want to spam the list 
with repeating the question, but if you do that sortof thing much, it is 
an easy question, and I won't take up too much time

Version Control

Robert Parkhurst — 2012-02-17T05:15:31

Hello,

I was wondering what everyone was using for version control these
days?  I've used cvs at a previous job and more recently have used svn
almost exclusively with a bit of git here and there.  Ubuntu seems to
like bzr at least for their "quickly" apps.



Thank you,

Robert
