Jan 17	comment	High resolution load for Linux Not going to deny that it's a bit crude. However, *aaS offerings are not going to work due to org policy. It's going to have to be 100% locally installed.
Mar 12	comment	Access Control “easy” management for Linux ACLs @syneticon-dj: (1) One unfortunate twist is that LDAP group manipulation is the direct approach, but due to Business Concerns would not be ideal here. (2) That's an interesting approach.
Jul 23	comment	Setting up DNS for a LAN without a top-level domain name @hop: yeah, I decided on .network.lan. for the TLD. I have an apple machine on the network, and .local might confuse it to the point of making it cry. And we don't want to see crying apples. That's just weird.
Jul 23	comment	Setting up DNS for a LAN without a top-level domain name @Farseeker: Bah. I'll just go with local-mynetwork-epic-lan-never-a-real-tld. ;)

Jan 22	comment	DNS on OS X 10.6 non-server @tegbains: What are the standard manuals for DNS/Bind? Besides man. :-)
Sep 18	comment	Xvfb not working on Red Hat Linux The DISPLAY variable appears to fix it. chown to root is strictly denied to me.
Jul 15	comment	Is the Task Scheduler in Windows XP reliable enough to be trusted with important tasks? @John: I'll try to get that data to you in the next 36 hours or so.
