Dell PowerEdge 1300: Workgroup Niche

Fri, 4 Aug 2000 14:57:33 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pheh - How do I love thee, let me count the ways.

The 1300 is a sturdy little workgroup server. I deployed about a half a dozen of these boxes before the 2450 came out (read that review next). Each box's task has been network monitoring related...

Connectix Virtual PC: Intel Inside?

Fri, 14 Apr 2000 16:40:07 GMT

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pheh - I dearly love this product. It keeps me from both having to create a dual boot MacOS/LinuxPPC and from having to lug around a Windows laptop as well. The product works 100% as advertised. I have had no crashes that I could directly relate to Virtual...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author pheh - Ahhh. The allure of free email. For just a few banner views and a little tagline at the end of your emails - you too can be username@netscape.net. Which, hey, is a cool address to have regardless of its convenient aspects.

Sendmail PocketScience: If you have the skills, there is no better choice

Thu, 18 Nov 1999 13:09:18 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pheh - Let me start by saying Sendmail 8.9 (The open source version - http://www.sendmail.org) is not the easiest software to learn. Getting it up and running is generally no problem for even the most neophyte Unix System Administrator. However, learning the...

Tue, 2 Nov 1999 00:20:42 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author pheh - I'm going to hate myself in the morning, but I am going to recommend Windows 98 for your operating system. I absolutely despise this operating system. It consistently ticks me off on a day to day basis. Yet I have to recommend it. For all its...

Sun Solaris: Solaris 7

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pheh - After a dozen or so meetings with Sun (http://www.sun.com) and Dell (http://www.dell.com), I've walked away feeling confident that Sun is finally taking its x86 market seriously. They have seen what Linux did and they want in on the action. Unlike...

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pheh - Well my wife popped an early birthday present on me the other night and sat a Palm VII on my lap after we put the kids to sleep. To say I was excited would be a serious understatement, as I have been lusting for a wireless PDA for years now.

MTV: I AM HAXOR

Wed, 13 Oct 1999 23:39:45 GMT

rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author pheh - As expected this MTV show on "hackers" was more or less worthless.

Had the non-technical host had any sense at all she would have made fun of 75% of the people featured on the show. Leaving the last 25% (The entire L0pht crew) with...

Wed, 13 Oct 1999 13:40:32 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author pheh - John Orwant (editor-in-chief of The Perl Journal) out did himself with this book. However, if you already know more than a smattering of Perl this book may not be for you. It was written with the beginner in mind.
