Can anyone explain to me why Linux has so many filesystems?
Because one filesystem isn't optimal for all cases? Because people want to experiment with new things? Why does it matter?
Windows has had NTFS for years (admittedly, several versions, but never any compatibility issues that I've come across), and Linux has, what, 73 or something?! Is it really that hard to get it right?
And Windows has had FAT12, FAT16, FAT32, NTFS, exFAT, VFAT, FFS2, DFS, EFS. Was it really that hard to get it right?
I'm wondering how this post ever made it to the slashdot front page.
kdawson hadn't met his daily quota for posting FUD articles yet?
It doesn't matter; the point of a disaster recovery backup (or plan) is not to protect your clients against accidentally deleting files, but to protect you (and them) from events that are completely outside of your control.
Who says they didn't have a disaster recovery plan? The issue at hand for many of the sites that have no backups at all for their data is because they chose a plan that explicitly stated that it was unmanaged and that VAserv wasn't going to back up the data for you.
Who says you need a house?
I don't know. Who did? I said one needs to be able to house their family.
Main Entry: house Listen to the pronunciation of house
Pronunciation: \ËhauÌz\
Function: verb
Inflected Form(s): housed; housÂing
Date: before 12th century
transitive verb
a: to provide with living quarters or shelter
Rent a one-room appartment.
Yeah and have 0 living space for a family?
That's certainly large enough for a family witha few kids.
I'm guessing you've never actually had a family to make such a statement, have you?
Presumably, your husband/wife would also have a job at McDonalds, so we are not talking about one income anyway.
Wow so you can net a grand total of around 16k on those splendid McDonalds jobs. Good luck affording housing, food, vehicles, etc for even a family with 1 or 2 kids with that amount.
I for one, know I dont want 1 click everything with (for e.g. mono, imho novell really likes to push this on people) some screwy licensed software being eventually installed without being asked and or notified about it.
What is screwy in the licensing of mono? The various parts of the code are licensed either under the GPLv2, LGPLv2 and MIT.
I was always wondering why this protocol and all related software have not disappeared yet.
Because of alt.binaries.*
Ubuntu and Fedora are desktop OS's. Not that they can't run as servers, just why would you.
Ubuntu Server Edition would like to have a word with you.
It is easier to write an incorrect program than understand a correct one.
