[lopsa-discuss] book recommendation - learning command line

2010-01-11 Thread Dan Parsons
I've been tasked with teaching a colleague general Unix-ish command line skills. I'd like to find a good book to work with him on. He uses Mac OS X, but the book doesn't necessarily have to be focused on that OS. In fact, an OS-agnostic book would be ideal, as he does have to ssh into Linux boxes s

[lopsa-discuss] wireless point-to-point link

2010-03-20 Thread Dan Parsons
Is anyone on the list familiar with building wireless point-to-point links? Specifically, I'd like to build one to cover a distance of a bit less than 4 miles. The faster the link the better, but I do have to keep the costs somewhat down. 50mbit would be nice, 100mbit even better. What sort of equi

ays: "With 15dB Antenna 5+ Miles @ 11MBPS LOS". I'll definitely be calling manufacturers, but I'm still hoping to bump into someone who has done this before, at >=50mbit/s actual throughput. Dan On Sat, Mar 20, 2010 at 2:15 PM, Doug Hughes wrote: > Dan

You can certainly install full RT on your own server - it's just one of the most horrible web applications I've ever had to set up in my entire life - but once you get it's working, it does things better than any other ticket system I've been able to find. Dan On Thu, Apr 22, 2010 at 12:19 PM,

[lopsa-discuss] Project management / ticketing web applications?

2010-04-22 Thread Dan Parsons
I saw Hiveminder suggested in another thread here and looked it over - I'm looking for some web app (either self hosted or SaaS-style, doesn't have to be free) that combines a ticketing system and some light project management features that would be good for two sysadmins to use. A system where I c
