I can't help but feel scared by this SELINUX thing. You can tell me a hundred time that the code was reviewed (was it ?) I still won't trust it. I'd like to be sure that just disabling it altogether is enough to stop it completely from....I don't know, opening backdoor ? Cmon, NSA code in the kernel ?

I use this program, but still too many pages (or applications) are not compatible with it, I ended using it more like a notepad and/or password generator, which is already a good thing btw. I'm really surprised that this problem (of password multiplication/length) is not taken more seriously by web administrators and that they don't allow more 3rd party software to be used more eficiently as password managers.

The more I read about Windows administration the more I like my linux machines. You even give nicknames to virus ("Conficker"), just like it was the usual thing to discuss during coffee breaks. "Hey I got a Conficker this morning!" This news makes no sense at all unless the PC were totally broken in the first place, which has no link to the virus problem. Arguing more is like discussing if a missile destroyed the Pentagon or not

I did choose it because my boss is an Apple die hard fan and wouldn't let me buy something else. He is not the one who will have to turn off the machine, bring it to the workshop, open it following some google guide....just to replace a failling hard drive.
And when you are inside the machine, which drive was it by the way ? You didn't forget to take note of the serial number of the failling drive ? Did you ?
any noname 1U server has hot-swappable HD bay. You know, this thing that lets you replace a HD with no downtime. And you know what other cool stuff a noname 1U server has 99% of the time ? LIGHTS OUT MANAGEMENT INTERFACE!
My God, how can you call this piece of hardware "server" ? Enough with the hype, Apple is selling hardware to home consumers, leave the professionnals with professionnal hardware and keep your i-stuff out of our way..
