[00:19:21] <jpill> hello, openSOl comunity
[00:20:57] <e^ipi> or a subset thereof
[00:21:36] *** not-me-guv has joined #opensolaris
[00:22:14] <ZOP> how can you change the baud rate for teh serial installer on ttya via grub?
[00:28:34] <hspaans> ZOP: check "help serial"
[00:29:30] <hspaans> ZOP: that is on the grub commandline
[00:29:37] *** niq has quit IRC
[00:31:34] <ZOP> hspaans: not for grub, for OpenSolaris kernel
[00:31:40] <ZOP> eg -B ????=????
[00:31:46] *** jpill has quit IRC
[00:32:06] <ZOP> i know that -B console=ttya to get console, but i'm honestly used to SPARCs where i can set the baud in openfirmware
[00:32:15] <ZOP> i don't know the equivalent X86 commands
[00:32:35] *** asarch has joined #opensolaris
[00:32:59] <asarch> Beautiful!
[00:33:08] <asarch> SXCE already has anti-aliasing fonts!
[00:33:10] <asarch> :-)
[00:34:37] <hspaans> ZOP: kernel /platform/i86pc/multiboot -B console=ttya,ttya-mode="115200,8,n,1,-"
[00:35:09] *** Trede has quit IRC
[00:35:46] *** perlinpinpin has quit IRC
[00:37:14] <ZOP> ah! so you can set it using the eeprom variable on the -B command
[00:37:18] <ZOP> ok thanks hspaans
[00:37:36] <ZOP> have i mentioned i LOATHE the x86 BIOS?
[00:37:37] <ZOP> :)
[00:39:02] <hspaans> the x86 platform is insane
[00:39:13] <ZOP> yeah it's worse when you REALLY know whats going on
[00:39:34] <Aria> For sure.
[00:39:44] <Aria> And then better again. And then horrible once you know how other systems do it.
[00:40:00] <ZOP> CPLD fires up, maps things out so the proc can get to the BIOS at mem addr 0x0, then BIOS starts, sets some stuff up, then eventualyl decides to blindly start executing code at 0xC000 -- this is supposed to be (atleast hopefully) the VGA BIOS
[00:40:19] <ZOP> at some point the VGA BIOS helpfully returns control back to the system BIOS
[00:40:26] <ZOP> which then starts painting the screen and finishing init.
[00:40:31] <asarch> Hey, I remember two project for software fo SXCE, one of them was "blastwave", right?
[00:40:37] *** Gnu_Raiz has joined #opensolaris
[00:40:38] <asarch> What is the other one?
[00:40:44] <hspaans> CSW
[00:40:53] <hspaans> www.opencsw.org
[00:41:21] <hspaans> ZOP: like I said, it's insane
[00:41:23] <ZOP> at some point later then the bios starts to execute MORE guessing code starting at 0xC800, and going in 2KB increments, hoping that each device helpfully returns control to the BIOS without effing it up.  Once that's done, then it might give you a chance to run BIOS setup.
[00:41:24] <asarch> There is other one
[00:41:38] <ZOP> hmmmm....  no dice...wonder if i got the wrong args.
[00:41:58] <asarch> SunFreeware!
[00:43:15] <hspaans> time to figure out how we can do a live upgrade on zfsboot
[00:43:38] *** stukag has quit IRC
[00:44:43] <turtle> google it, it's out there.
[00:46:48] <ZOP> yup i mis-typed...getting good console output now.
[00:46:50] <ZOP> wootage.
[00:48:06] *** bahumbug has quit IRC
[00:48:37] <ZOP> atleast solaris 'gets' a serial console.
[00:48:56] <ZOP> most Linux distro's can't install or anything via serial console, they get all hung up on being on the real console.
[00:48:58] <hspaans> turtle: google? what is wrong with reading documentation?
[00:53:54] *** mikl has quit IRC
[00:56:15] <turtle> uh this is 2008 you don't "read documentation", you just google for some obscure forum post that's half right
[00:56:22] <turtle> get with the times
[00:58:54] *** myrkraverk has joined #opensolaris
[01:00:30] <hspaans> turtle: since when is this channel #linux?
[01:01:28] *** luc^ has quit IRC
[01:02:07] <myrkraverk> hspaans, since 7. oct 1325 ?
[01:03:50] <h3sp4wn> hspaans: It just works really - lucreate -n snv_98; mount -F hsfs /export/home/foo/the.iso /mnt; luupgrade -u -s /mnt; luactivate -n snv_98; init 6 (not checked the commands but basically it just works)
[01:04:16] <e^ipi> turtle: reading documentation involves understanding what you're doing... much better to type random arcana (as root) that you don't understand that some (possibly malicious) internet retard told you to
[01:04:28] <e^ipi> that's why Howto's and tutorials are so popular
[01:04:30] <Stric> myrkraverk: a slight modification of your nick; myrkraftverk means Ant Power Plant in Swedish.. interesting thought, eh?
[01:04:55] <myrkraverk> Stric, yeah ;)
[01:08:16] <ZOP> hrm
[01:08:27] <ZOP> i wonder if there's an e1000 bug here...
[01:09:19] <asarch> Is there any way to use your laptop as a telephone machine?
[01:09:28] <Stric> skype?
[01:09:31] <hspaans> h3sp4wn: I say opensolaris.com uses beadm so I'm checking ;-)
[01:09:33] <asarch> My telephone machine is broken an I need to make a call
[01:09:37] <Stric> (or other sip software)
[01:09:44] <asarch> No, not VOIP
[01:09:59] <Stric> a modem and.. err.. I dunno
[01:10:02] <Stric> but "no"
[01:10:08] <asarch> Damn! :-(
[01:10:16] <ballChalk> use ip-relay.com
[01:10:17] <Stric> get a cell phone like everyone else
[01:10:27] <e^ipi> or go find a payphone
[01:10:42] <ballChalk> ip-relay... free, and can make calls from your pc just by typing
[01:10:44] <Stric> they are almost extinct in Sweden
[01:11:10] <Stric> because just about everyone has a mobile phone
[01:13:06] <asarch> :-(
[01:13:41] <ballChalk> asarch: ip-relay.com doesn't work for you?
[01:13:50] <asarch> Why NetBeans is not included in SXCE b98?
[01:13:55] <asarch> Let me check ballChalk
[01:14:47] *** __teo__ has quit IRC
[01:15:31] <asarch> Can I make a phone call from ip-relay.com to a "normal" telephone number?
[01:15:34] <ballChalk> yes
[01:15:39] <ballChalk> a person talks for you
[01:16:41] <asarch> Oh
[01:16:59] <asarch> Someone read what you are typing and the speaks it?
[01:17:03] <ballChalk> yes
[01:17:42] <ZOP> it's for deaf/hard of hearing, teletype relay like service
[01:17:59] <e^ipi> without the pesky "privacy guarantee"

[04:11:57] <jbk> DTrace has been ported to FreeBSD, OS X, and QNX.  Obviously the increasing number of points is a sign of decreasing popularity.  Also, with more time and more people, SystemTap has not been able to achieve feature parity with the original release of Dtrace.  Then into the bit about zfs

[05:21:57] <jbk> what would you want in it?
[05:23:03] <sstallion> probably just a quick and dirty description of the project and relevant links
[05:23:28] <sstallion> i'm adding a toplevel pkgdefs dir which links to onnv so we can start generating packages

[06:56:06] *** kokoko1 has joined #opensolaris
[06:57:48] <jbk> ok there are still 2 instructions missing, though i think they are sun4v and not rock specific
[07:01:09] <jbk> e^ipi: so i was mostly wrong, though amusingly, had the piped up -- 99% of the work they did on it was already done by me a long time ago :)
[07:03:06] *** ninjaslim has quit IRC
[07:04:50] <jbk> on an unrelated note, any reports of nv_sata issues w/ recent builds?

[07:17:49] <e^ipi> hey jbk , want to take a look at something for me?
[07:22:19] <jbk> sure
[07:22:28] <e^ipi> http://cr.opensolaris.org/~error404/chsh/
[07:22:49] <e^ipi> i just noticed an arguments passing bug, but the rest of the approach
[07:22:51] <e^ipi> sane, or insane?
[07:23:13] <e^ipi> ( this is done entirely without mandate )
[07:23:15] <jbk> well one nit: #ident line
[07:23:29] <jmcp> yeah
[07:23:49] <jmcp> *if* we were still using teamware you'd want that to be a #pragma :)
[07:25:16] <jmcp> e^ipi: I think you should use the octal values for SUID rather than the symbolic
[07:25:22] <jbk> umm check_shell -- why the arbitrary 20 char limit?
[07:25:24] <jmcp> we tend to use octal in Makefiles
[07:26:27] <jbk> i don't suppose passmgmt is priv aware?
[07:28:18] <jmcp> why have ":s:u:l" for your getopt args, when both : and ? result in badargs++ and eventually a usage() message?
[07:29:29] <e^ipi> jmcp: i didn't touch that file, and i don't intend on it
[07:29:48] *** coffman has quit IRC
[07:30:05] <jmcp> I imagine your RTI advocate will want an answer to that q
[07:30:06] <e^ipi> it's from onnv-gate/usr/src/cmd/oamuser/user/call_pass.c
[07:30:12] <jbk> with change_user -- i would want someone else to be sure there's no way to escape out of the passmgmt call
[07:30:30] <jbk> you might want to move the badarg check out of the switch statement
[07:31:21] <jbk> just set the sargs,largs, uargs in the switch (+ optarg as appropriate), then outside of it, look at the values and check for mutually exclusive flags
[07:31:43] <jbk> but that's more style/preferene
[07:31:46] <jbk> +c
[07:31:57] <jbk> jmcp: so.. i guess you can ditch that libdisasm workspace :)
[07:33:25] <jmcp> jbk: yeah :)
[07:33:33] <jbk> though he missed 2
[07:33:37] <jbk> :)
[07:33:52] <jmcp> log a bug :)
[07:33:54] <jbk> but i think those are sun4v, not rock specific (i'd have to dig through the docs)
[07:35:12] <jmcp> I dunno for sure
[07:35:22] <jbk> now i need to figure out why the latest on is panicing on my desktop
[07:35:27] <jbk> it's getting in the way of my testing
[07:35:34] <jbk> nv_sata error
[07:35:47] <jbk> and of course it's during boot, so no core file :)
[07:35:59] <jmcp> what's the actual error?
[07:36:32] <jbk> lemme try it again
[07:36:33] <jbk> one sec
[07:38:47] <palowoda> jbk: It's not related to this: http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/on/flag-days/pages/2008091101/   ??
[07:43:11] <jbk> heh actually that sounds exactly like what i hit :)

[07:43:34] <jbk> interestingly two notices before that are
[07:43:51] <jbk> nv_sata inst 0: GPIO reported undocumented drive count 0
[07:43:52] <jbk> ...
[07:44:06] <jbk> nv_stat int 1: SGPIO reported undocumented drive count 255
[07:44:18] <jbk> err first one should be SGPIO (keys are wearing out on this laptop)
[07:44:22] <jbk> then the page fault
[07:44:55] <jbk> so sounds like I should do another pull and remerge
[07:45:20] <palowoda> alan perry did mention it was fixed.
[07:46:45] <jbk> hence why i should repull :)
[07:47:00] <palowoda> :)
[07:48:11] <jbk> of course now
[07:48:21] <jbk> i need to track down the right ss12 tarball
[07:53:02] <jbk> i don't suppose the sunstudioexpress would work.. ?

[07:55:38] <jbk> it helps if you ask a question :)
[07:57:24] <guru][> yeah, just to make sure that there is someone alive :)
[07:58:06] <guru][> ok, look, i just installed the opensolaris 200805 in my freebsd partion, the installation went well
[07:58:26] <guru][> but i got stupid grub, cuz i can't log in into my Centos
[07:58:45] <guru][> plust the ethernet card did't recognize and the sound card too
[07:58:57] <guru][> wireless card too as well
[07:59:12] <guru][> sounds it's lack for hardware support
[07:59:35] <guru][> so i missed with the /rpool/boot/grub/menu.lst
[07:59:45] <guru][> just to add my Centos
[07:59:45] <jbk> what kind of hardware (chipset) are they?
[07:59:49] <guru][> just like this
[07:59:57] <guru][> root (hd0,4)
[08:00:26] <guru][> kernel /boot/vmlinuz xxxxxx ro root=LABEL=/ rhgb quiet
[08:00:34] <jbk> i mean your ethernet, sound, and wireless card
[08:00:42] <guru][> initrd /boot/initr xxxxxx.img
[08:00:47] <guru][> but did't works
[08:01:12] <guru][> about the network cards, it's stupid Broadcom
[08:01:33] <guru][> but it least i should got the ethrnet one works
[08:01:40] <guru][> it=at*
[08:02:17] <jbk> broadcom has updated drivers for their ethernet chips available on their website, i would try that
[08:02:21] *** akshay has joined #opensolaris

[08:03:06] <guru][> yeah, i know how to do that with ndiswrapper

[08:07:31] <guru][> so anyone familiar with grub to add CentOS 5.2 in my menu.lst?
[08:08:29] <Drigo> guru][: Why OpenSolaris ?
[08:09:24] <e^ipi> Drigo: you're here, which means your obviously interested, so just try it. there's a laundry list of features why you would choose it rather than linux
[08:09:57] <Drigo> ok e^ipi :D
[08:10:09] <e^ipi> performance, security, stability, dtrace, zfs, zones, rbac
[08:10:10] <e^ipi> etc, etc.
[08:10:31] <guru][> Drigo, to be honest with you, first of all, i got original copy from someone working in Sun, Solaris 10  01/06 but when i want to install it did't recognize to my Sata driver,
[08:10:34] <e^ipi> but ultimately try it, run your benchmarks, and see if it suits your purposes better
[08:10:56] <guru][> second of all, job opportunity ;)
[08:11:09] <maxote> Sun is fucking you in Sata hard disks
[08:11:13] <guru][> so i just downloaded the 200805
[08:11:23] <guru][> and i got stucked in grub and alot of things
[08:11:35] <maxote> return back to bsd if you want
[08:11:39] <palowoda> guru[]: It's not that bad you search on opensolaris.org say with terms boot linux with grub. Or search on the articles onhttp://www.sun.com/bigadmin/home/index.html

[08:18:59] <guru][> btw, is grub have the same configuration in OpenSolaris as linux, cuz i saw kernel$ and module$ in os line
[08:19:10] <e^ipi> guru][: yes.

[08:27:23] <guru][> kernel panic - not sync unknow fs ......
[08:27:55] <jbk> hmm wonder if you need some extra options
[08:27:57] <sickness> the man page of centos 5.2 seems to say gnu grub 0.97 at the bottom...
[08:28:29] <palowoda> solaris grub was built on .96 if I remember correct.  Not much different.
[08:29:35] <sickness> result of rpm -q -a is grub-0.97-13.2
[08:29:55] <palowoda> solaris grub never changed any of the parsing of the menu's.  It just modified it for ufs and zfs boot.
[08:30:00] <sickness> does grub 2.x actually exist?
[08:30:21] <e^ipi> it exists in the hopes and dreams of little children
[08:30:30] <thechris> sweet
[08:30:32] <sickness> lolz
[08:30:33] <palowoda> It think it does but the grub team doesn't like solaris guys much.
[08:30:35] <guru][> but the weird thing, that the kernel panic disappeared now, and i got this:  filesystme type is ext2fs, partition type 0x83 kernel /boot/vmlinuzxxxxxx  [Linux-bzimage, setup=0x1e00, size=0x1b7034] initrd initrd-xxxxxxxx Error 15: File not found
[08:30:36] <thechris> people call me childish

[08:44:19] <palowoda> thechris: Just use some external drives and do zfs snapshots of your data for several of your backups.
[08:45:01] <thechris> i had been thinking of a file system that did network backups periodically
[08:46:02] <palowoda> Than zfs send your snapshot.
[08:46:13] <thechris> though I'm not familar with snapshots
[08:46:21] <palowoda> You should be.
[08:46:36] <xRaich[o]2x> it's dead simple, read the manual ;)

[09:21:04] <palowoda> They supplied the free version under the gise of academic evaluation.  They hide it quite well on the website. Lately I don't know where it is.
[09:22:28] <coffman> putty has now support for serial devices
[09:22:48] <coffman> since that, i dont use any other terminal client under windows
[09:23:24] <palowoda> I guess putty is winning over the once standard of ssh.com.  Go figure.

[13:50:39] <ormandj> couldn't find any info on the web, my searches only explained the compose key (for special characters.) oh yes, and the key with the diamond on the left and right of the space bar, curious about that as well :)

[13:54:03] <ormandj> thanks jmcp, checking it out
[13:54:37] <LeftWing> Front seemed to drop the current window to the back of the Z order without changing focus in CDE -- that might be motivated by historic behaviour.

[15:14:32] <Yorlik> I think the first contains both, server and client

[17:44:09] <TomJ> codestr0m: there's already a few posts about it on the forum, but yeah I will
[17:44:17] <TomJ> in this case it's possibly crashing because I'm runnning vbox in a zone
[17:44:42] <TomJ> though the symptoms (complete hard lockup, no panic, no response to anything) is identical to another crash I had with 1.6.x which was related to using a Dynamic VDI  instead of fixed
[17:44:53] <TomJ> I'm using fixed now in 2.0.2 and it still crashes, though I was also trying to run it in a zone
[17:45:25] <TomJ> my hardware is Xeon x64, 8 cores, 16gb RAM,  Solaris 10 U5 with recent patches (kernel 137112-02)
[17:45:27] <TomJ> *-06
[17:46:25] <TomJ> to frank vbox has been a disaster on Solaris ever since it came out.  1.5 the first 'solaris supported' release wouldnt even load on Solaris 10 x64 both because of bad library paths (fixable with LD_LIBRARY_PATH) and because of a missing ldpi 64bit library (fixable only by getting that 64bit library from SXCE and adding it to Sol10)
[17:46:36] <TomJ> that was fixed by 1.5.4 but I still couldnt load VMs, I forget why now
[17:46:51] <TomJ> then 1.6 did work, except for the hard lockup with a dynamic VDI.  I got it running usefully wiht a fixed VDI in the end
[17:47:04] <TomJ> now 2.0.2 I tried to run in a zone (because apparently that should work OK now), but it still hard locks up
[17:48:56] <TomJ> I suppose 2.0.2 would probably work in the global, but to be honest I'm a bit jaded about trying it now.  every time the box hard locks I risk FS corruption, and if it hard locks up after I installed it (and if I've forgotten to manually make the boot-archive), I cant cleanly reboot because the boot archive is out of date
[17:49:08] <TomJ> it just seems too bothersome to even try right now

[20:19:54] <jbk> but then the question is finding one that is supported by solaris
[20:22:07] *** bb3 has quit IRC
[20:29:56] <kimc> whats the best ldap client on opensolaris?
[20:31:17] <kimc> looks like ldap client which ships with solaris requires setting up nis to work
[20:31:59] *** estibi has joined #opensolaris
[20:32:29] <jbk> for authentication?
[20:32:35] <kimc> yes
[20:32:39] <jbk> it doesn't
[20:32:43] <kimc> heh
[20:34:11] <jbk> it is easiest with sun's directory server
[20:34:19] <jbk> though not strictly necessary
[20:35:39] <kimc> i've installed openldap and am looking for a client to use with it
[20:36:06] <jbk> well sun's will work, but you're probably going to have to do some more work to get things working
[20:38:28] <kimc> yes it would definitely be some work to get the native solaris ldap client working.. i was hoping the client shipping with opensolaris was different
[20:39:59] *** syamajala2 has joined #opensolaris
[20:41:38] *** rrrand has quit IRC
[20:42:03] <jbk> no it's the same codebase
[20:42:28] <jbk> the biggest thing is just havin all the schema elements loaded on the ldap server
[20:44:25] <kimc> you need to do an nis setup on opensolaris no?
[20:46:03] <jbk> no
[20:46:13] <jbk> you have to have all the schema elements loaded
[20:46:19] *** swa has joined #opensolaris
[20:46:24] <kimc> the man page for ldapclient on opensolaris is dated Jun 08.. maybe this is different
[20:46:26] <jbk> then you can either manually configure all the parameters
[20:46:59] *** rrrand has joined #opensolaris
[20:47:07] <jbk> or you create an ldap object that contains the config info and tell the client to use that (the advantage being it will periodically -- based on the ttl value -- refresh the local config from that object
[20:47:38] <jbk> it does call the domain the 'nis domain' but that's just bad terminology
[20:49:03] <kimc> ok thanks for that.. this looks good
[20:49:52] <sstallion> jbk: just go with a macbook

[20:50:24] *** stukag_ has joined #opensolaris
[20:53:42] <jbk> hmm dunno.. i've been hearing that apple's qa (at least for os x) has been going downhill recently.. as well as some of their stunts with dealing with problems.. i'd rather have something a bit less expensive that runs solaris well..
[20:54:37] <sstallion> I've not had any issues personally but I def. understand the hesitation
[20:54:46] <sstallion> I think the Ferrari's are pretty popular
[20:54:53] <sstallion> although I'm not a big fan of Acer
[20:54:58] <Yorlik> What is the best method to have a small internal network with zones ? Most of the zones have an external static IP, but some have not, like the database. Should I just overload the external interface with the internal IPs in zonecfg? And how would I activate these - which service to refresh ?
[20:55:02] <sstallion> lenovo machines are generally pretty solid
[20:55:22] <jbk> that's what i have now (old ferrari), aside from the broadcom wireless.. has been decent
[20:55:36] <sstallion> Yorlik: you need to read on zones... you don't have a choice; all zoned hosts have statically assigned addresses
[20:55:59] <sstallion> i've had dells in the past... they were workhorses
[20:56:01] <jbk> probably need to find something w/ nvidia graphics, intel wireless & ethernet
[20:56:05] <sstallion> *nod*
[20:56:09] <sstallion> avoid broadcom for sure
[20:56:16] <jbk> if i could find something that supported the vx extensions.. that'd be a big plus
[20:56:27] <sstallion> thats the exact hardware in a mbp btw, except it uses atheros wifi
[20:56:33] <sstallion> again, the mbp :)
[20:56:36] <Yorlik> Doh - I just don't want to waste a statis IP for the database ... seems another RTFM session coming up ...
[20:56:50] <sstallion> ?
[20:57:03] <sstallion> Yorlik: if these are on an internal network ,why does it matter ?
[20:57:31] <Yorlik> the webserver and other zones have external IPs, but they need to access the internal zones
[20:57:58] <Yorlik> I just need some sort of internal hub for this.
[20:58:07] <sstallion> you can route between zones
[20:58:12] <Yorlik> And crossbow isn't in sxce yet, is it ?
[20:58:18] <sstallion> you don't need that
[20:58:47] <Yorlik> I think I still haven't really got the concept of zone networking.
[20:59:26] <sstallion> add an interface, define an address
[20:59:36] <sstallion> if you want multiple networks, define multiple interfaces
[20:59:39] <Yorlik> loopback interface then ?
[20:59:44] <sstallion> eh? no
[20:59:58] <sstallion> this box has two interfaces I assume
[21:00:04] <sstallion> one for internal, one for external ?
[21:00:17] <Yorlik> There is only one external uplink
[21:00:25] <Yorlik> its only one box
[21:00:45] <Yorlik> the other NICs are reserved to vmware in case I need ws2003r2
[21:01:00] <sstallion> then they will all need a valid address on that subnet... otherwise you will need crossbow to provide some amount of network virtualization
[21:01:29] <sstallion> for all intents and purposes, zoned hosts should be viewed as being separate
[21:01:35] <Yorlik> Allright. Maybe I can use the underlying esxi server insted -- vmnets ..
[21:02:10] <sstallion> you can't just invent a virtual network, at least not yet ;)
[21:02:26] <Yorlik> Okay. Thanks. I'll try with esxi then ..
[21:02:47] <Yorlik> though I'd pefer a Solaris only solution
[21:02:52] <sstallion> mind you, you can route between the zones without going over the physical interfaces, but they all have to belong to a valid physical network
[21:03:47] <sstallion> one option which is a little hacked up, is that you might be able to define your external host as the global zone
[21:03:58] <sstallion> and all subordinate services are non-global zones on some made up network
[21:04:08] *** stukag has quit IRC
[21:04:28] <Yorlik> web, application and database are on different nonglobal zones.
[21:04:44] *** jimerickson has quit IRC
[21:05:00] <sstallion> well, then either you get cute with port redirection, or you make your webserver the global zone (which really doesnt make much sense)
[21:05:09] <sstallion> zones aren't normally used this way

[22:56:29] <e^ipi> if i were using windows it might be, but i don't

[22:57:09] <corpsicle> well i cant seem to get shared directories to work, and a lot of people seem to have similar issues
[22:57:25] <corpsicle> and im running it on vista host, so it should be ok to share a dir and mount it cifs ?
[22:57:34] <corpsicle> thing is, i cant get that to work either =D
[22:58:31] <e^ipi> i haven't used it , so i'm not really the right person to ask
[22:59:10] <corpsicle> ok
[22:59:24] <corpsicle> it doesnt seem to be the most common combination, vista and opensolaris
[23:10:21] <holcomb> hmmm when is 99 expected?
[23:12:35] <corpsicle> i wonder if i should print this book at work =P
[23:12:37] <corpsicle> 408 pages
