New in Ubuntu 8.04

Κατηγορίες: System Administration — Tags:ubuntu — Sotiris Tsimbonis @ 12:42 πμ

Διαβάζοντας τα release notes του Ubuntu 8.04 που βγήκε προχθές θέλω να δω τουλάχιστον τα παρακάτω:

Dynticks for AMD64 και Completely Fair Scheduler στον kernel (2.6.24)
Uncomplicated Firewall (απλό command-line frontend για ipchains)
ActiveDirectory Integration (με χρήση του Likewise Open)
SELinux Support (in addition to AppArmor)
Filesystems mounted with relatime option, for improved performance.
/bin/sh is now dash (τέρμα τα bash-isms για scriptακια που θέλουν να είναι portable)

Stuff I’ve been recently reading
- AWS, Eli Lilly, and all that drama Αυγούστου 13, 2010
  Shared by stsimb Current cloud computing SLAs and their “take it or leave it” approach do not fit a world where business value is not uniform across all different data sets and workloads. Corporations (and especially the larger ones) need someone to blame when things go wrong. A few days ago, an article at SearchCloudComputing reported that Eli Lilly pharma […]

- How do I get my manager to adopt Puppet or other new thing? Αυγούστου 13, 2010
  Shared by stsimb 1. align yourself with your boss's priorities2. add undeniable value Last week I wrote about how to get coworkers to adopt new technology so this week I thought I'd write about how to get your manager to do it too. For example, someone recently told me that he'd done a small deployment on Puppet for automating certain things. […]

- Scaling Facebook to 500 Million Users and Beyond Αυγούστου 13, 2010
  Shared by stsimb None of the previous principles work without operations and engineering teams that work together seamlessly, and can handle problems together as a team. This is much easier said than done, but we have one general principle that's enormously helpful: The person responsible for something must have control over it. This seems terribly obvi […]

- AWS, Eli Lilly, and all that drama « Service Level Agreements Αυγούστου 9, 2010
  Shared by stsimb The thing is that current cloud computing SLAs and their “take it or leave it” approach do not fit a world where business value is not uniform across all different data sets and workloads. [...] Corporations (and especially the larger ones) need someone to blame when things go wrong — it is how the system has been working for ever. A few day […]

- "I do, we do, you do" Αυγούστου 5, 2010
  If you are teaching a group of people here's a useful technique: "I do, we do, you do". I do the task once, then the entire class does it together (in lock-step fashion), and then everyone does one on their own. When I do it, it gives everyone an understanding about how it is supposed to work from beginning to end. When we all do it together, […]

- IPv6 CPE Survey Ιουλίου 22, 2010
  This article is an attempt to collect and present up-to-date information on the IPv6-readiness of Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) from various vendors. This is an ongoing project, and we are currently seeking feedback from as many vendors as possible.

- Use BitTorrent to update software in your Data Center Ιουλίου 28, 2010
  Stretch (@packetlife) shared an interesting link in a comment to my P2P traffic is bad for the network post: Facebook and Twitter use BitTorrent to distribute software updates across hundreds (or thousands) of servers ... another proof that no technology is good or bad by itself (Greg Ferro might have a different opinion about FCoE). Shortly after I’ve tweet […]

- How do I get coworkers to accept my brilliant new thing? Αυγούστου 4, 2010
  Shared by stsimb We often don't want to micromanage others or think it is rude to tell them what to do. But when we are just learning something we need to be told what to do. It is comforting to be told what to do. Once we get the hang of things we don't want to be told what to do, but that could be hours, days, or months into the project. You […]

- build static packages with statifier Ιουλίου 30, 2010
  A nice (but not perfect) tool to create a static package is: statifier Here is a simple but useful mini how to: (as root) # echo -n 0 >| cd /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space # ldd /usr/bin/pacman linux-gate.so.1 => (0xb7fe1000) libalpm.so.5 => /usr/lib/libalpm.so.5 (0xb7fa8000) libc.so.6 => /lib/libc.so.6 (0xb7e5d000) libfetch.so => /usr/li […]

- Low esteem and the factory Ιουλίου 8, 2010
  If you want to hire people to do a job, to be cogs in the system and to do what they're told, you might want to focus on people who don't think very highly of themselves.People with low self esteem might be more happy to be bossed around, timed, abused, misused and micromanaged, no?And the converse is true as well. If you want to raise your game an […]
