Guess soon Solrais will have as stable packages available as there are for Linux distributions. Erwann has posted Compiz 0.5.0 packages for Solaris Nevada/Express on x86 - this is the latest step of several months of work to make this happen.

All my effort is to make already known issues clear and understandable for people inexperienced with SUSE Linux system administration.

What I think of home users trying to install 64-bit Oracle on 64-bit Linux is a matter of record -and I stand by everything I've written about it. So I take this opportunity now to tell you to save your time and efforts, stop reading this article and (please!) go and install 32-bit Oracle on a 32-bit O/S instead. Almost certainly, it will be quicker, less prone to error and just as functional when you're finished. But...

During OS install both GNOME and KDE desktops were selected as well as all components of all available groups except "Virtualization","Clusters","Clusters Storage" KDE Session has been selected for system login. Firewall and SELINUX have been disabled.

At mean time many people are experiencing problems with installing Solaris Express on PCs with boards based on Marvell Yukon Gigabit PCI-X Ethernet adapter.Version for download from : syskonnect.de may be installed but actually doesn’t work. Workaround for this issue follows bellow.

Now that opensolaris has been progressing for almost 2 years, some people are starting to ask the question "is it a success?" Which begs the question of how do you measure its success?

It's well known that the Jmicron JMB363 SATA,PATA controller is not supported by RHEL AS 4.4 at this time, what causes attempts to install RHEL 4.4 (CentOS 4.4) from IDE CDROM to fail. Work around for mentioned issue follows below.

As many of you noticed, Solaris now supports SATA controllers and devices. To simplify writing SATA HBA drivers the new module and a set of interfaces was created, referred to as either SATA Framework or SATA module.

This article discusses similarities and differences that will be visible to application programmers and analysts on the Solaris OS and Linux.

We had recently concluded a Solaris Installfest at the India Engineering Center in Bangalore and the response was very good. In fact we are getting asked for a second installfest. However this is material for another blog.

It's well known that Jmicron JMB 363 SATA PATA controller is not currently supported by RHEL AS 4 U4 , what causes failure to intstall RHEL 4.4 from IDE CDROM on the box built up on ASUS P5B Deluxe MB. Work around for this issue follows bellow.

Tomcat can use the Apache Portable Runtime to provide superior scalability, performance, and better integration with native server technologies. The Apache Portable Runtime is a highly portable library that is at the heart of Apache HTTP Server 2.x. APR has many uses, including access to advanced IO functionality (such as sendfile, epoll and OpenSSL),OS level functionality (random number generation, system status, etc), and native process handling (shared memory, NT pipes and Unix sockets).View for details: http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-5.5-doc/apr.html

Technique developed in [1] was tested in RHL 9 environment. Version of glibc in Red Hat Linux 9 is 2.3.2-11.9. I've got compilation failure attempting to compile file square_svc.c from [1] in White Box Linux 3 environment. Version of glibc differs from RHL 9's version and is 2.3.2-95.20. Following bellow is modified version of square_svc.c source code.This version of square_svc.c allows to build multithreaded RPC Server in White Box Linux 3 environment exactly as advised in [1].

With the introduction of Oracle Database 10g, Oracle now provides Automatic Storage Management (ASM) that is optimized for Oracle files. You may decide to migrate to ASM with a piecemeal approach by allocating new Oracle data files into ASM as the database grows, however to receive the full benefits of ASM such as the ability to add or remove storage from the database configuration with automated balancing of the distribution of the data files without downtime, the entire database should be migrated to ASM.
