Over here in Australia, the Advanced class has a lot more privileges than the Standard class - compare the frequencies and permitted modes for Advanced versus Standard. Also Advanced are allowed 400W pX for modes C3F, J3E or R3E and 120W pY otherwise, whereas the Standard class only permits 100W for modes J3E and R3E and 30W pY otherwise.

Actually, Xen is not at all similar to a BSD jail, no matter how you look at it. Xen does full OS virtualization from the kernel and drivers on down to userland. A FreeBSD is basically chroot on steroids. The "virtualized" processes run exactly the same as "native" ones, they just have some restrictions on their system calls, that's all.

Precisely.

Similar products in the Linux space are Linux Vserver (which I use) and OpenVZ.

Well, as a licenced amateur, I have a federal licence authorising me to operate up to 120W in the lower part of the 2.4GHz band. As a licenced secondary user, that makes my packets more legitimate than those of the unlicenced device. They must not cause any interference and accept any they receive.

My first was around the end of '98. Looking at the RH release history it was probably late November '98. One of the guys I chatted to on IRC burned me a copy of RH4 on CD but the computer would not read it. I figured the disc was screwy so I went out and bought a retail copy of RH5.2

At the time I was using NT4 workstation on an old (even then) 486DX2-66 with 4Mb of RAM as a mail server for myself and parents while I was at uni, on a perm dial-up link. It would take 30 seconds to check the POP account over a 10Mb LAN connection, longer if there was actually any mail. After installing RH5.2 on that machine when I checked my mail the dialog box appeared and disappeared faster than I could see it. I had to press send-and-receive a couple of times and send myself an email to believe it had actually done it!

Needless to say, I haven't use Windows on any server since.
