There was a company in New Orleans -- they got some press shortly after
Katrina for recovering data from flooded HDDs.  I think I talked to them
about 2 years ago when one of the computers here died but the amount was
to expensive.   I don't have any specific contact info for you though.

We know about some good places out of town, but are there any companies

I assume someone on the list have experience with slicehost
http://slicehost.com/

While I'm thinking about getting couple of 1Gb slices,
does anyone have any comments about their performance, reliability, etc?
In other words, is it good enough to run business applications?.

They seem to be very clear about the offerings and pricing etc.....
(including the non-existent SLA)

I have a 256mb slice.
here's my uptime:
brad at morbos_slice ~ $ w
  13:03:49 up 340 days, 13:00,  1 user,  load average: 0.00, 0.00, 0.00


It's been pretty stable. About the last time it went down, they sent me an
email that my slice was found to be on unstable hardware, so they needed
to down it to move it. Which they did, and it's been up since.
I can't comment much on the performance per se, I don't really have much
of a load on mine. But there is a link on their site where you can see
what other sites are running on a slice. You can maybe guage the
performance from that.
http://wiki.slicehost.com/doku.php?id=list_of_websites_currently_hosted_on_slicehost

For me it's pretty speedy, I have mysql running and my website where I
upload pictures and such, but I don't have anything that really puts
a load on it.


If you don't already have a referral, it would be great (for me) if you'd
use me as a referral.

Any other questions, let me know.

Or use my email instead :-)

I've got 2 Linode accounts and one slicehost, both do the job 
(web/mail/dns/etc). One Linode is for a client, but the other one paired with 
the Slicehost handle all my stuff now, since I'm allergic to 
hurricane-induced downtime these days.

Heh...   I beat you.

04:40:45 up 353 days,  4:58,  1 user,  load average: 0.03, 0.03, 0.00


I use my slice for web hosting, mail, VPN, yada yada...   It has been
completely reliable.  All in all, I am extremely pleased and would recommend
them to just about anyone.   I also host a DNS server on a slice for
tertiary backup DNS.

Chris said:  the meeting went very well for Feb. 7.

Windsor said:  I am interested in Jack's
idea of focusing a group on promotion of Linux as a desktop operating
system and targeting perspective Linux users. I'm enthusiastic about
doing something to this effect, like hosting an install night, standing
in Sproul Plaza near a card table, etc..

David said:  the USB headset I ordered and will
pick up at the post office tomorrow - 
Markt9 (from virtual lug) told me that it was a very nice one. I can't
wait until I get the chance to try it live.

& Windsor says: I posted some guidelines for people editing the web
page. Also, (and I'm not trying to be a kill-joy) I think the smilies
should be left in IRC and private e-mails. Every time I see one on the

You guys heard the buzz around Xandros Presto? (prestomypc.com)

I wonder what tricks they're using to get such fast booting, and if
they can easily be applied to "real" Linuxes.

I'm working on a new DHCP server for our IPTV deployment  and I was 
wondering if you guys had any suggestions for something that would give 
me some stats for my dhcp server (active leases and whatnot) in a easy 
to read format. I've been googling around and checking out freshmeat and 
I have found several candidates and I was wondering if anybody on the 
list had any experience with something like this.

I had a HP DV1000 Laptop years ago and It had a quick boot  linux  
partition called Quickplay to play your Audio and Video files from  
your partition. The software interface was not good but usable. I  
guess they expanded on this idea.

Wow.  Are salaries really still that low in BTR?

i dunno. like everything, there are a lot of variables in play here.
the type of position, experience required, the business need.
doesn't really sound like a senior position. I think that's one of the
problems with baton rouge,
not a lot of people move around, so there are not a lot of senior type
high-dollar positions available.
but the positions are there, you just have to aggressively work on your br
networking to expand your
options. also, you may need to be lucky too!

It's sad when jobs in Arkansas pay better.

Message-ID: <43452C495F09D048BF7CE9F96B65688E08A69E@sbs.Puryear-IT.local>

I'm looking for some help in reinstalling a server in Shreveport. We'd
rather not make the drive. Know any IT techs in or around Shreveport? We
just need a reinstall of Windows 2003 at the LSU-S data center, which
shouldn't take more than 2-3 hours.

Subject: [brlug-general] Samba as a domain controller
Message-ID: <65ef39b10903301936k7f70f7a2h94bc749068721e3a@mail.gmail.com>

I've been doing Windows desktop support for ten or twelve years. At
work, it's basically me and the server/networking guy. Well, he got a
better offer, so he's out the door after Wednesday, which means I'm
basically shoehorned into the server/network admin position. It's a
role I've wanted to take on for years now, and I'm really excited
about it.

TMI, sorry.

Anyhow, I'm finally in a position where I can make decisions, and I've
always wondered how feasible Samba would be as a domain controller in
a real-world environment. We have about 500 users and 300 computers.
What advantages would it offer over Windows Server 2008's Active
Directory? (Free being the primary example.)

Thanks, guys.
