Help me Decide on OpenBSD or Solaris as my web and file server please

Hi
5 questions
i have been using OpenBSD as my Web and file server for a while now
and FreeBSD as my Desktop
i decided on OpenBSD as my Server because of its Security
1) But now i hear Solaris is the most Secure OS pn the Planet? is this true
And which is real Unix?
i seem to always have trouble with things such as PHP on OpenBSD
Most of my pages run as *.html but i also have a forum which uses PHP 4
But all my PHP pages come up blank..
i am always encountering errors using PHP
2) If i Switch to Solaris will it b even harder to use or
is it precompiled with PHP 4 and higher when i install Apache
3) Also what about cgi and the ability to use *.htaccess files should i use them
4) Also i i still would like to generate SSH keys ssh-keygen
is that possible?Forcing the user to login using only a key and
not a password on SSH
5) Does Solaris have any Linux compatibility as well?as FreeBSD has
Concider me a newbie even though i use to post on this forum once before
i am always experimenting trying new things out

Either will work just fine. Since you're asking in the Sun forums, you should receive more Solaris replies of course! :-)
The weak point in your setup (as far as security goes) would be the use of PHP either way...

Need help to activate my internet on solaris

Hello everyone,
I just installed solaris, but I was having problem of setting up my internet. Before I installed solaris, I had windows and the internet worked fine. I was wondering what part of the configuration am I missing? I have browsed through some of the past threads, but I am having some difficulty of understanding them. I am pretty new to the linux/solaris OS. If anyone can help me with this, I would really appreate.
Thank you.

Sorry, but as the matter of fact that I am a student, I rely on my internet quite heavy for school works. So I have decided to temperarily boot with vista. I will try to reboot with solaris during this weekend for all the suggestions that everyone has provided for me. I hope this is okay. I will for sure get back this weekend and try to make things work.
Thank you all

If you want peace of mind I vote against imported C560. I am not sure C560 has worldwide warranty as first. It seems Idea and value AiO are not sold in Australia, so spare parts availability might be an issue in any case.
It looks nice, but overall engineering, cooling and (mechanical) parts quality is way behind ThinkCentre (M and E series).
If you are student, you can buy E73z at educational pricing directly from lenovo - the first option costs 863 or so then, not 899. If you will use it just for "normal" work, then i3 might be just fine (it is 100$ cheaper). Any M92z is also good choice (just CPUs are one generation old)
The M92z is now on sale on ebay for the next three days for $539. That is a heck of a deal assuming it is not refurbished. The only negative as Toruk mentioned is the processor is one generation old. But I have an i5 processor in an M90z and I use it for the exact same things mentioned in the original post in this thread. I don't have any issues.
The E73z is on sale on the Australian Lenovo website right now for $799. It comes with everything probably neede including an i3 processor.

Understated,
Sounds like you are in Canada.
Skip MSI; they have not been getting much of a reputation for solid, reliable, laptops for video editing.
Asus is selling rock-bottom priced laptops if you really need to cut cost to the bone.
My first choice recommendation would be to go with an ADK laptop. They are a audio/video editing centric company that has excellent laptops (Sager / Cleo platform) and excellent support for pretty decent prices on high-spec configurations. Unlike the HP/Dell laptops, their 15.6" 1980x1080 has expansion for multiple drives while retaining your optical bay.
HP and Dell are OK too, but more expensive for fully loaded configurations. Both companies provide a really nice base model, but then charge a lot for adding memory, drives, etc.
Dell provides really decent CPU choices, but you need to go to the "large business" section of their web site to see those CPU choices for the M4700.
If you go HP or Dell, get a newmodeus.com optical bay drive caddy to put a 2nd internal drive in your system. Buy the HP or Dell, then move the HD to the optical bay and buy a large SSD for OS, programs, and scratch/cache.

Jim

Need help in deciding the right SAP certification.

Hello Expert,
Need some help in deciding upon an SAP certification. I am 4+ years experienced in SAP ABAP. Is there any value add in doing ABAP certification or should i go ahead and do something on the lines of Netweaver, MDM or CRM ???
Please advise.
Thanks and Regards,
Josin George

Hi Josin
CRM surely has a good future so you could spend time and efforts in learning more into that on the job.
As for certification, I recommend that you work for more 2 years and go for the Professional certification (ABAP) rather than "Associate". It will be a value addition for sure.
Please search these forums and also take others' opinions relating to CRM / ABAP certifications.
Cheers!

I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like excel, word etc. 13"

I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like microsoft office products ...excel, word etc. I am new to the apple world and have liked the idea of the MAC Book Pro 13" but really dont know if this is good enough or if the computer will soon crash?
13-inch: 2.6GHz
with Retina display
Specifications
2.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
8GB 1600MHz memory
512GB PCIe-based flash storage1
Intel Iris Graphics
Built-in battery (9 hours)2

That's a fine machine and, with 8GB of RAM and 512GB flash storage should serve you well for light video/photo editing as well as for 'normal' usage. And it should last you for years to come.
Good luck in making your decision!!

Please help me deciding the storage for RAC !!

Hello,
I am looking for some help to decide hardware in order to install 10g R2 RAC. I have two IBM P5 series boxes with IBM - D24 Storage (SCSI storage). I followed Oracle's Clusterware installation guide. It says you have to create Physical Volumes in "Concurrent Mode" which my system does not support. even if i import this Physical vol with LVs in Concurrent mode it gives error as this is not an concurrent PV. I found that HACMP is needed to do this. But same time i found that HACMP is not needed ... I am very much confused.
Can we take SAN and get rid of this kind of problem ? is there any software with SAN for concurrency ?...
If you have any suggestions highly appreciated.
Thanks

1. I think what Ashok was saying is that you don't need to put these disks under the volume manager at all--just address them as raw disk devices. I don't recall where the raw disk devices are found on AIX, but you shouldn't have to do any importing or creating of physical volumes in order to use ASM.
2. I think all the storage arrays I've used have allowed access from more than one host. It's usually an access control list or something similar.

I need help on deciding a New gaming computer!

I need help on deciding which pc would be best for running valve games from bestbuy...I dont care whether a laptop or a pc i just want to play tf2 with smooth gameplay. my price range is 1200 and less

For Team Fortress 2, the requirements to run it on Steam are:
1.7 GHz Processor
512 RAM
DX8 Video card
Recommended is
3 GHz Processor
1 Gig RAM
DX9 Video Card
So, you could easily buy a desktop PC for around $400 to $500
Here's some to look at:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=pcmprd107500050000&skuId=9999107600050000&type=product&ch...
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=pcmprd107500050001&skuId=9999107600050001&type=product&ch...
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=9156478&type=product&id=1218038551741
I would recommend a desktop for gaming over a laptop because you'll have the ability to upgrade the video card down the road (all of these PC's have a PCI Express slot available) and more importantly, better heat dissipation (plus you can usually add additional case fans if necessary). Plus, the cost is half that of a laptop. But if you need it to be portable, then you'll have to look at the laptops, and if you do that, consider a laptop chiller to keep it cool.
Also, look at the AMD processor systems. Most systems in the lower price range incorporate onboard graphic solutions. Most games want either an ATI or Nvidia solution for 3D graphics, pixel shading, etc. The Intel Graphics Solution won't run those games at all. Also, I would avoid any mini-case desktop PCs (slimlines), because they tend to run hotter inside, some graphic cards will not fit inside them, and some have non-standard size components (such as the motherboard, power supply, etc.
IMHO - I would spend what is necessary to run the games you want at a comfortable margin and save the extra money for down the road upgrades or a replacement system when you encounter a game you really want to play that won't run on your system.
Hope the info helps.... Good luck with your purchase!

Help on deciding version for migration

Hi,
Currently we are having a commissions applications developed in ADF 11.1.1.4. This application has 200+ pages and has around 150-200 users during peakload time.
The database consists of 10's of millions of records in few tables and performance is very critical for users to process commissions and promo's.
Now we are planning to migrate from ADF 11.1.1.4 to ADF 11.1.2.3.0 or ADF 11.1.2.2.0. Please let us know which one is better in terms of View layer performance and also suggest which version is more safer to migrate.
It would be great If you can provide references or pointers which will help me decide the version.
Thanks,
Naresh

The improvements from 11.1.1.7.0 are not available in 11.1.2.x. They use current techniques to improve performance. The R1 (11.1.1.x) version use a new skin which is smaller and more responsive java script. R2 uses jsf2.0 and facelets but are on the older skin.
Hard to tell which one will perform better, as this depends on your ui and how you built it.
Before you migrate I would advise to make a small test car in each version. Then you see first hand what task you have to do and which version suits your needs better.
My personal view is that you should stay with R1. This is because going to R2 it's not as easy as just open the project in a new Jdev version. There are many changes under the hood which might cause trouble and are not always obvious. The R1 versions are used b by fusion applications, do you can assume that new features from the upcoming 12c version will be back ported to R1. This has been the case for many features you now see in 11.1.1.7.0. R2 is not feature complete, meaning that it only comes with adf, no soa and other stuff. Right now out does not matter to you, but once you started migration to R2 and you get a requirement which best is done with soa, you are struck.
