You get what you pay for and with dell this certainly is true.

Netbooks are just another fad that will pass. Too big to be a convenient pocket device, too small to be usable as a real laptop. In other words, pretty much pointless.

Finally I chose Nuon because it seems cheaper. Thanks for the posting.

But here goes:

1) IPMP is not Bonding (in the strictest sense), since IPMP only does Active/Passive High Availability with your NICs
2) Link aggregation is what you would consider bonding.

The two are very different beasts.
IPMP is done to provide FT across disparate switches.
Aggregation (and infact any teaming/bonding/aggregation) cannot be done across disparate switches. All members of the aggregation have to be on the same switch.

The “bond” groups you set up in the /etc/hostname.xxx files were not really bonds but IPMP FT (Fault Tolerance) groups.

IPMP works in several ways. The simplest is link-detection mode where it works at the datalink layer.

When you do that, you will see the “no test address configured” message in /var/adm/messages

You could set up two aggregated nics and then IPMP the two to set up switch disparity. The process would be exactly as you did with your /etc/hostname.e1000gx files, except the filenames would be /etc/hostname.aggr1 etc.

Thanks for your great work in making Zabbix packages, and getting them into Ubuntu releases!

Just in case you haven’t been watching, Zabbix 1.6.4 is out now.

Thanks,

Yes it’s so frustrating and I think that firefox should change the message appearance, the current looks like a fatal error!

Thanks

By the way, fix your OpenID authenticator

I assume one Funambol connector connects the Funambol server to the Zimbra server and another one connects the Iphone to the Funambol server.

Is this in the right direction ??

Thank you very much

Actually Peter Leemans suggested Vala, and that seemed to be pretty nice too, Gnome-ish and C#-ish, just what i was looking for

Maybe you don’t like the Qt theme. That’s something that can be changed easily. Plently of themes are available and you can even use CSS to style your Qt applications.

Kubuntu makes heavy use of PyQt + Python-KDE bindings. I won’t see that going away soon.

And of course, you can always improve the bindings yourself

Actually I’m looking at Gtkmm for the moment.. looks pretty nice.

Then you categorize gtk-bindings as third-rank. C++
C#, Java, Python and Perl have *official* GNOME bindings. That’s right, C# has gtk-bindings and is as first/third class as the rest.

I don’t like the QT look and feel either and use mostly Perl + gtk2-perl bindings + glade. However, lately I am using Java + Swing + Gtk look and feel. Designing an UI in Netbeans is really easy and fast as you draw the windows instead of writing all the widgets and their relations. This way I invest my time in the application logic instead of the UI. The java gtk look and feel is far from perfect, but it’s getting there.

I work as a software consultant and more than 90% of the code I read and write is C. The remaining 10% are mainly Makefiles and some shell scripts and maybe some C++ here and there.

Once you really “get” C, you find it’s really all you need.
