I did some data entry temp work for Wheatbelt many years ago, like maybe 1996 or 1997. Those guys are pretty cool. Small, tight little business up by KCI airport. Back in my AS400 and data entry days when my ten-key was super fast. They put me in there with some gals and I wowed em. And I could alphabetize records like a mad-man.

SUSE Linux
by Steve Nash 02 Nov '06

02 Nov '06

Our organization is currently running a legacy software package written in Cobol on an SCO Unix Server. We have selected a replacement ERP software (Open Systems Accounting Software) and will be running this on the SUSE Linux Enterprise 10 platform, which is supported by OSAS. The migration of data from the legacy package to the OSAS package will be handled internally. Our desire is to source a company or possibly a qualified individual who can install and support the SUSE while working with our OSAS dealer in making sure all aspects of the installation of the OSAS on SUSE come together smoothly . If you can provide a qualified resource, please contact me by phone or email, listed below. Steven L. Nash Controller Wheatbelt, Inc. 11721 NW Plaza Circle Kansas City, MO 64153 Ph. 816.243.8222 Fx. 816.243.8236 steven(a)wheatbeltinc.com

Thin Clients
by Phoenician 01 Nov '06

01 Nov '06

I've been asked by a one of my clients if I could come up with a thin client that will automatically access a remote desktop session after logon. I know it is possible, how hard is it to setup? Also I would need to limit internet access to only approved websites (this would be for a mixed OS environment but would like to use Linux as a solution). - Michienne

1U Rackmount servers for sale
by Jon Pruente 26 Oct '06

26 Oct '06

Some of you may know of Kozoru. Some of you may know that they are in hard times. Thus, they are selling their cluster nodes. I can have one in your hand for $200. A good friend of mine worked there until a few months ago, and we are looking to turn around some of the machines. Here is what he had to say about them: It's been a while (March or so) since I threw one together but I know they're P4 Celerons with 80GB PATA drives. I think all of them have 256MB (1 stick) of RAM but I know some of the DB Servers had two 256's in them. You might get lucky there. I *THINK* CPU speed is 2.8GHz but it might be slower. this is the only thing I can't remember about them from memory. On-board USB/Video/PS2 and 100BTX NIC. They're built in cheapish SuperMicro cases and they're pretty noisy, they use a big blower fan for the case, a small whiny low-profile blower fan on the copper heatsink, and the powersupply has its on set of fans. These ran 24/7 for damn near 2 years straight, we seldomnly had any problems with them (2 out of 100+ had power supplies die) They all boot off USB, so just add a USB DVD drive and install your OS of choice. He's got a post over at kcgeek.com that says the exact same thing. I think they are similar to <a href="http://www.supermicro.com/products/chassis/1U/512/SC512L.cfm">these 1U cases</a>, but I've never seen one in person, only photos. From what I've been told, they had been setup to boot a custom OpenBSD install from a 64MB USB key, and use the HDD for local data cache, storage, etc. when the cluster node was active. I can get them for pretty cheap. There are/were nearly 100 available. I don't have any idea how long these will last, as the (former?) Kozoru employees can get them even cheaper than I can. Contact me or ax0n (on kcgeek.com) if you're interested in one/a few. If you contact him, be sure to say you heard of these through me, though. ;) Thanks, Jon.

Where are the Ubuntu/Kubuntu CDs?
by Leo Mauler 25 Oct '06

25 Oct '06

Monty and I are sitting here in the KCLUG booth (well, I'm sitting in the Sprint Internet kiosk), and we have a few KNOPPIX CDs leftover from last year and *no* Ubuntu/Kubuntu/Mandriva CDs to hand out. We have a big sign saying we have "Free Linux CDs" (which is currently turned to the wall). If anyone can burn off a couple dozen CDs (Ubuntu, KNOPPIX, whatever, anything) and come by ITEC, it will be very much appreciated. I'm pretty sure we will accept handwritten labels on the CDs. If you happen to have some CD sleeves or spare slimline jewel cases, that would be a bonus. If you haven't registered you can always look back through the E-mails for Chris Bier's ITEC E-mail (September 28th I think) and register as an Exhibitor, or just come by and have them send someone in to the booth, so we can come out and get them. Right now all we have to offer is my demo system playing that BBC FOSS video, the books, and some brochures and business cards. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
