I want to setup a web server to host site and am trying to decide between Solaris 10 Express using their AMP software or FreeBSD 7.0. I may or may not use jails/containers but that option is still a possibility. There are advantages and disadvantages of both operating systems. Once setup I...

Keep in mind though that IT permeates society and is entrenched in almost every company regardless of size. The companies that will outsource are the largest of them, namely Fortune 500 or 1000 companies that have very large IT staffs. But the small to medium size companies are not (well, not...

I agree with Ken you will get a better response in another forum, however, you might not get much because the topic has been debated numerous times. Keep in mind though that IT permeates society and is entrenched in almost every company regardless of size. The companies that will outsource are...

SF0751's statement is closer to being true. You are making yourself too important with your statement, GUJ.

pkginfo to find the files installed by the package. Remove them, then delete the package from /var/adm...

Certifications are a joke. Even those in the industry don't know what most of those ridiculous letters are people put behind their names. Like those cert acronyms really mean anything. If you want to put some letters behind your name that have meaning and value, get an MBA, MS, MA, EdS, PhD...

Linux doesn't have an AIX mksysb or Solaris flash archive utility. You would have to write some dd script to another drive. As far as I know there isn't a snapshot utility like AIX and Solaris have either. I am not a proponent of Linux for the enterprise. Use it as a mail server, file...

I don't know what you consider young, but I am 40 and have been in IT for over 12 years and have put in my share overtime, but have no desire for that anymore. I contract and one of the best perks is 40 hours/week and out. I have more of a life than working 100 hour weeks that I have done in...

1) chlv 2) striped lv?

The inittab entries for SysV-style (Solaris) startup must exist. If these entries don't exist your rc scripts won't execute.

I am thinking of setting up a website for my own personal use and don't want to have multiple servers and prefer to use just one. My thinking is to run the http server (apache), the app server (tomcat) and database (mysql) each in their own jail. 1) Would I also need to run ipfw inside a...

I set about 20 different vmo, ioo, no, nfso options, along with using cio or dio as the filesystem will warrant for databases. Your minperm and maxperm settings are strange for AIX 5.3; with lru_file_repage you should only need to set minperm% to a low number based on the amount of physical...

Depends how heavily the files are hit. If there is a lot of IO, then you may want to have each on one disk with its own jfs2log or you might want to do PP striping with each filesystem spread across 5 disks and spread the IO across log files too. Just depends on the activity. If they aren't...
