lol

btw some VIP in our office got a G5 when it first came out. He insisted it have the full 8 gigs of RAM... His system has probably never used more then 30% of its processing power and 600mb of RAM. The really sad part is if I made a G5 case out of some aluminum sheet metal and put a G3 in there, he'd never know the difference.

oh, very recently we ordered 2 G5's with 4gb RAM and dual 30' LCD's (4x 30')... would it be wrong to get an erection over a computer? /emoticons/laugh.gif

nice D
those things are great. sexy slim with a strong kick!
The remote admin is great on those too. It has a ton of internal sensors that monitors any problems and lets you know remotely if there is a problem.

why did you get that though if I may ask? Web server or something or your company?

D-Zine
07-31-2004, 09:45 AM
It's not actually mine..I wish...but it might as well be since I will be the only one knowing how to do anything with it...LOL! We needed a new server where I work...ours was way old and WAY to small, we are upgrading many things right now and also starting up a 3rd part of the business - web design and web hosting so I decided this was the way for us to go after much research and talking to many people. We needed speed and lotsa space. She's a beauty!

But it's much worse when those who don't know pretend they do. then we all get to go un-fix what they messed with.

Let me know if you need some help D.
I have set up 4 of them. I am no expert but i can tell you some do's and don't. Like I would not set up a software RAID 0. Sounds nice but it doesnt run well on the mac's without a hardware RAID card ($500 for xserve).

You will also need to learn about user groups and permissions, even some slight bash script and unix commands line knowledge would help :(

I got a super terriffic new avatar showing off my skills as an artist. Sometimes, I even amaze myself... or amaze even myself... or maybe amazing myself.. whatever I am, it's amazing!

dakels
08-03-2004, 07:35 AM
I like yours too. It's amazing. but not as amazing as mine.

Ahhh NO! My first real day here and I'm stealing quacking dogs!

Sorry man. I, like you, will be putting together an avatar that shows such mastery of pixels that all will drool upon their keyboards. So you can have little quacky back.

i wouldn't want you to hurt yourself trying to out do my avatar. be one with the quacking dog.
