Between the early 1990's and early 2000's the price of a GB of memory went
from ~$100,000 to ~$1000*. I guess a lot of the design decisions made for
things like init were focussed on this. In 1995 is was common for server
platforms to have 32Mb ram whereas the kernel alone in my PC here at home

Hi Valeri,
Thanks for this. I haven't looked at FreeBSD since the 1990's or there abouts,
but I'll give it a look.
I'm also looking at lubuntu, but was hoping that there was a lcentos. We tend
to like what we're used to.
I'd be interested in your views on the differences between bacula and Bareos.
I do have one Bareos storeage device but tha...

RE: AVM A1 (OLD) CARD
I have an old A1 ISDN card that we used to use in the mid 1990's for the
delivery of data to our ISP
I have seen some users have been using them, with respect to doing web

Can someone please let me know what drivers I require to use this card under

Mailman2 was written in the 1990's at a time where email lists were a bit
more obscure. It can be done but it takes a couple of sidesteps outlined in
the following web pages.

Maps, Eastern Europe
Dear all,
I would like to employ a European map in a presentation. My idea was to
use:
library(mapdata)
map("worldHires", c("Austria", "Switzerland", "Germany"))
where I include all countries from my analysis as a vector of character
strings like in the example above. Unfortunately, I was unable to
specify the Baltic States (Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia) or

mount points @install time
hi everyone,
is there a way to add custom mount points at installation point?
And if there is would you say /usr should/could go onto a separate
partition?
many thanks, L.

Samba4 join xp problems
...e things that DevOps personnel get paid for. I am
eternally grateful to the older engineers who *tolerated* and educated
me in existing technologies as a new sys-admin back in the day, and
hope I paid off their investment with introducing them to tools like
Samba for multi-platform work back in the 1990's.

Use of geometric mean .. in good data analysis
...zed by the arithmetic,
> geometric, and harmonic means.
In spite of off-topic:
I think it is a good question, not really only about
geo-chemistry, but about statistics in applied sciences (and
engineering for that matter).
Something I sure good applied statisticians in the 1980's and
1990's would all know the answer of :
To use the geometric mean instead of the arithmetic mean
is basically *equivalent* to first log-transform the data
and then work with that transformed data:
Not just for computing average, but for more relevant modelling,
inference, etc.

Yes, our users' uidNumber range starts from a little over 500. This is
baggage from the 1990's. I don't think Redhat's "start at 1000" was even
thought of back then.

Iridium integration / gateway
Hi list,
I have a request to integrate Iridium in a Asterisk system. A quick
search didn't return much: I expected to find products similar to GSM
gateways, but this does not seem to exist. so I'd be very interested
about possible solutions. Has it be done already, how?
Thanks,

There is absolutely no need to include irrelevant text when replying to
a posting. Trim and Cut were sensible skills acquired by some of us in
the 1980's and 1990's. Pertinent points pleases people perpetually.

I?m fresh out of FreeBSD world. Depending on the port, it can be easy and predictable, or an absolute confusion-fest.

there was a time (sunos 1990's for example) where mounting /usr on a
separate partition was normal.
this might have been because disks at the time were too small to install
the whole operating system on one, so usr could be located on another
partition.
this is also why we sometimes have a /usr/sbin and /sbin for exam...

Most Linux distributions since the mid 1990's have made /root the home
directory for their UID 0 user. This was because /home was not guaranteed
to be mounted when the system started up AND people were annoyed with the
Unix tradition of having UID 0 with the / as the home directory. [Having
UID 0 with / caused all kinds of file component...

[Bug 12915] --modify-window should default to 1 for fat filesystems
...need --modify-window=2 not 1. But here in
the US for half of the year you need --modify-window=3602 instead. The same
goes for many other locations. The simple fact of the matter is that FAT is an
obsolete filesystem designed for 5.25 inch floppy disks that is not in any way
compatible to doing 1990's vintage things. I know there are devices out there
that are stuck with FAT but it is the user's job to adapt to their
incapabilities not rsync's.
Years ago, when I still had a Win98 computer to backup I suggested that rsync
should have a --fat option. The --fat option would would h...
