This solitary church and convent, shut in from the world by the rugged walls of bastioned precipices, is not far from Majori, at the mouth of the " Val Tramonti "- the valley of the mountains. You will observe that there is a church, and it is a very ancient one, in the center, while the convent occupies the buildings at the back and on either side. The structures rest upon stone arches whose walls are fifteen feet high on account of the inflowing tides of the sea. Those six row-boats belonging to the convent lie peacefully enough just now on the pebbled beach, with the broad band of snowy foam back of them ; but, in wild storm, when the wind blows furiously off the sea, things are not always so placid here. Then the water rises above the arches, and, at times, gigantic waves break over the entire structure with terrific force; then the foam we now see rippling so playfully becomes terrible as the white teeth of dragons. In such a storm, the only safety for the inmates of the convent is to climb to the shore-road above and seek shelter with the fisher-folks whose hamlets dot the coast. Observe the strength of the buttresses which support the walls of the convent, and notice that stone gallery which extends about the buildings above the arches. In fair weather and high tide, the boats come right up to the arches; the bow of one is seen there now. See that tree growing out from the side of the right-hand precipice ! How nature economizes even to the use of a few feet of soil that happens to lodge in the cleft of a rock! What a fine arch that road-way terminal presents to our view ; and the road it-self, as it goes zigzagging along that stern and rocky coast, exhibits in its construction wonderful feats of engineering skill.
The sense of isolation and solitude that occasionally comes over one in such a place as this would be over-powering, were it not that there is constantly spread out before you one of the most picturesque and charming scenes in the whole world, a scene that impresses itself on the memory forever. On every side, beauty and sublimity meet the eyes, and vast precipices, clothed with chestnut, aloes and fir, and terraced with lemon plantations, tower sternly and grandly above the sea. Surely nature has lavished the splendors of her whole range of tints and colors in the brilliancy and variety of hues with which she has clothed this delightful spot.
The splendid road seen to our left extends beyond that tunnel to Salerno. Amalfi is behind us. Moving in that direction we shall see one of the most ancient landmarks of Amalfi, the Capuchin Hotel.

BREVARD -- "Books for the Bayou," a dinner and aid event to raise book money for Oak Park Elementary School in Ocean Springs, Miss., will take place at 6 p.m. Monday at Brevard College's Porter Center for Performing Arts.
The event is the brainchild of Brevard High School senior Wendi Witek, 17, who hopes the event will raise enough money to replace all the school's accelerated reader books that were destroyed as a result of Hurricane Katrina. Ticket sales and donations so far have raised more than $3,000.
Tickets to the dinner are $35 and can be purchased by calling 553-4340.
Witek plans to present a check to Oak Park Elementary over the Thanksgiving break from school.

How far are today's media willing to go to advance President Obama's cult of personality?
What happened on CNN Monday has to make one wonder, for some producer at this cable network thought it would be cute to bring school kids on the set to sing an astonishingly propaganda-laden song about ObamaCare.

Gaited Horses, Naturally! Part 1 consists of 2 DVDs with a 50 page book created by David Lichman, winner of a World Grand Championship and one of only three Five Star Premier instructors of Parelli Natural HorseManShip in the world.David has been involved with gaited horses for over twenty years, and has traveled all over the world helping owners of Tennessee Walking Horses, Missouri Foxtrotters, Icelandic Horses, Rocky Mountain Horses, Peruvian Pasos and Paso Finos to gain not only a better gait, but a better relationship with their horses.
The first DVD, Knowledge, puts the viewer in the audience of a gaited horse
lecture by David. In his entertaining teaching style, David presents history,
biomechanics, diagrams and clear definitions to help answer the confusing questions
about gaited horses:
What makes them gait?
How do you recognize a gait?
How do you differentiate one gait from another?
How do you influence gaits in a natural way, using psychology and understanding rather than force, fear and intimidation?
Also included are examples from Davids gaited horse clinics where students achieve immediate success using Davids techniques, and youll see examples of the various gaits described in the lecture.
Running time 1:40
In the second DVD, Techniques, David demonstrates methods to help both trotty and pacey horses find a smooth gait to ride on a loose rein. There is also a section on true collection and how to be in harmony with the horse when using it to influence gait. The 50-page illustrated book contains Questions and Answers, Tips on Gaiting and Cantering, Charts, Diagrams, Lists, Resources and more The training is all done without the use of any bits, special shoes, chains, action devices, draw reins or tie-downs. Emphasis is on developing the emotional and mental strength of the horse and rider as a team. The foundation for these techniques is the Parelli Savvy System with Davids special expertise helping to explain how this system applies to the needs of gaited horse owners: horses that trot or pace, horses that wont canter, and horses that change gait every few strides. The beauty of this system is that both the novice and the pro can use it to teach gaited horses to respond to a soft rein, and maintain a consistent gait that is smooth to ride.
Running time 1:05
Gaited Horses Naturally! Part 2, Cantering
Here you will find detailed instruction on helping a horse to find a clean, consistent, three-beat canter even though it doesn't come easily to him. Included are detailed, slow motion examples of all the variations, so you can once and for all learn to identify what those legs are doing.
The principles of the Parelli Program - On Line, Liberty, Freestyle and Finesse - provide the basis for the techniques that David uses, and there are plenty of examples of horses who have successfully learned to canter this way.
Running time 1:45
"When I bought my first gaited horse over twenty years ago, I was given a set of four-pound shoes and some logging chains which the professional trainer told me was the only way to teach her to gait. After meeting Pat Parelli, and learning how to interact with horses in a more natural way I developed these techniques in order to give the gaited horse a better deal, and to give the gaited horse owner a better relationship and far better results." D.L.

What happened: Councilor Luci Snyder withdrew her arts funding proposal
What it means: Snyder had sought a way to develop a new system for doling out arts funding that would remove politics from the system and boost the prestige of the Center for the Performing Arts. Snyder said the process of negotiating with fellow councilors had been going on too long and they haven't made enough progress so she suggested they just go back to the old way of doing things.
What's next: The bill was withdrawn and the mayor will continue to determine the distribution of the grants
What happened: The council gave an update on the new stormwater utility ordinance
What it means: In a committee meeting, three councilors discussed whether residential homes, or just commercial properties, should be eligible for utility credits based on stormwater improvements. Councilor Kevin Rider said he's in favor of saving residents money but suggested there's not a practical way to administer such as system without incurring major costs.
What's next: The ordinance stays in the Utilities, Transportation and Public Safety Committee, which meets at 6:30 p.m. April 3
What happened: Six ordinances were introduced regarding distributing money from the sale of real estate
What it means: Before any property is sold by the city it has to be decided into which city fund the money will be distributed. Some funds that previously would have been allocated sale proceeds have changed or are no longer in existence. Since the properties haven't been sold yet, it's undetermined how much money will be distributed.
What's next: Sent to the Finance, Administration and Rules Committee.
What happened: Several bills remained in committee
What it means: Under Old Business, new readings were presented of the following ordinances: "Amendment of Noise Regulations," "Amendment of the Comprehensive Plan," "Establishing the Ashmoor Planned Unit Development," "Amending the Carmel Drive – Range Line Road Overlay Zone," and "Establishing The District Planned Unit Development."
What's next: The noise ordinance will be discussed in the Utilities, Transportation and Public Safety Committee, which meets at 6:30 p.m. on April 3. The other bills will be discussed in the Land Use, Annexation and Economic Development Committee, which meets at 5:30 p.m. on March 25.

This is a story for anyone who has struggled or is struggling with addiction, who may feel that there's no other way out. Keith and I both hope this serves as motivational tool to help people realize that climbing out is possible.
I'm very fortunate in being able to call Keith Treanor one of my good friends. I met him a few years ago when he transplanted from New Jersey to my hometown of Oklahoma City. I didn't know much about him at the time, but quickly learned. Aside from being an all around awesome guy, his passion for BMX is inspiring. I'm privileged to be able to call him my friend.

Washington's fire department soaked Washington High School band students for a cause Thursday afternoon.
Band students participated in The ALS Association's Ice Bucket Challenge after they were challenged by the school's volleyball team, but with a twist – they got a double soaking.
The ice bucket challenge to raise awareness and funds to end Lou Gehrig's disease has gone viral on social media. People take videos of themselves dumping a bucket of ice water on their heads and challenge others to participate and donate.
Firefighters soaked the students with hoses from the top of the department's tower truck before they dumped the buckets on their heads.
Band parent Michelle Sperl said the students raised $200. Band director David Dayton said he was excited about the group coming together for a cause, and the band students were excited about seeing their director soaked.
"I think they're probably more excited about seeing ice get dumped on me," he said. "I don't think I was going to get out of it."
The fire department became involved because two firefighters were former Washington High School Band members. One band member, Nick Dubina Jr., is son of firefighter Nick Dubina Sr.
Drum major Tyler Funk said he had fun participating. "It was really a cool, cool experience," he said.

SILVA, Maria Elisa de Souza e; VILLACA, Ênio Lacerda; MAGALHAES, Cláudia Silami de and FERREIRA, Efigênia Ferreira e. Impact of tooth loss in quality of life. Ciênc. saúde coletiva [online]. 2010, vol.15, n.3, pp.841-850. ISSN 1678-4561. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S1413-81232010000300027.
In order to evaluate the impact of tooth loss in patient's quality of life, 50 volunteers were selected among patients who use the Public Health Services in treatment for their complete denture's placement or replacement. The Oral Health Impact Profile (OHIP-14) and a socio-demographic data collection were applied before treatment. The values were founded through the weight of each question in association with Likert's Scale. As higher was the score, higher was the impact in the quality of life. In this survey 82% were female, 52% of patients between 41 and 60 years old (average: 59.1), and 34% married. The higher values of OHIP-14 dimensions in patient's quality of life were: Psychological Discomfort (122), Physical Pain (121), Psychological Disability (113), Physical Disability (109), Functional Limitation (93), Handicap (82) and Social Disability (76). As it could be observed, the lost of teeth or the use of inadequate prosthesis could bring negative impacts in life's quality, especially regarding preoccupation, stress with mouth problems and shame, although people perceive minor impacts in social relationships and development of their daily activities. This information can be relevant to prepare dentists to raise their knowledge about edentulous people and how to work with them.

In return, Mauer ends 'crazy day' with decisive hit
Twins star snaps tie on RBI single in ninth; Milone solid in club debut
HOUSTON -- Joe Mauer is back.
Mauer's RBI single in the ninth inning broke a tie and lifted the Twins to a 4-2 win over the Astros on Monday night at Minute Maid Park.
The Twins had a different look about them Monday. Mauer, who reached base three times and had two hits, was reinstated from the disabled list earlier in the day, and recently acquired left-hander Tommy Milone was making his first start as a Twin. But gone was outfielder Josh Willingham, who about an hour before the game was traded to the Royals for a pitching prospect, right-hander Jason Adam.
"A crazy day," said Mauer, who was pleased with the win, but saddened by the trade of a good teammate. "A good way to end. To win the ballgame was the way to end it."
It came down to the ninth. And Mauer's two-out single to left field off hard-throwing Josh Fields scored Jordan Schafer. On the hit, left fielder Domingo Santana inexplicably held onto the ball as Brian Dozier, who was on first before the hit, raced all the way home with the second run. The official scorer ruled that Dozier scored on a fielder's choice.
"I haven't seen velocity like that in a long time," said Mauer, who was 2-for-4 with a double that barely missed being a home run to left. "He was pumping it in there pretty good. I told myself to stay short and not try to do too much. "
"We've always said he could hit," said Twins manager Ron Gardenhire.
Left-hander Glen Perkins closed out the Astros (49-70) with a scoreless ninth inning for his 29th save, making a winner out of Brian Duensing (3-2).
Fields (2-5), who entered in the ninth, took the loss.
"It's uncharacteristic when you look at the success in which he's had," said Astros manager Bo Porter. "That's all part of it. You're not going to throw up zeros every time you go out there."
Milone served up solo home runs to Jose Altuve in the first and Chris Carter in the fifth in his six innings.
"I felt OK," said Milone, who allowed eight hits with five strikeouts and three walks. "I was a little amped up at the beginning.
"I'm going to give up my share of hits. Normally I don't walk as many guys. It seemed like each inning I had to wiggle my way out of something."
Leadoff hitter Danny Santana had three singles for Minnesota (53-64), who improved to 18-12 all-time against Houston. The Twins had 11 hits, and Dozier started a 4-6-3 double play with the bases loaded to end the second.
"That double play was a shift right there," said Milone. "It could have turned into a bad inning."
The win was gratifying for the Twins.
"We got enough hits in some big moments, and a big one from Joe," said Gardenhire. "So, welcome back."
Mauer's third-inning double was his 300th.
In a tie game, Minnesota's Trevor Plouffe was thrown out at the plate trying to score from second on a base hit by Chris Parmelee to end the top of the eighth. Plouffe was retired on a strong throw from right fielder Robbie Grossman.
Mauer looked good at the plate after a rehab stint at Class A Cedar Rapids. After drawing a full-count walk in the first, he just missed a home run by a few feet in his second at-bat in the third. Mauer settled for a double after the ball hit high atop the left-field scoreboard, giving him a 13-game hitting streak.
Mauer lined out to center to start the fifth, and he hit a sharp liner to first baseman Jon Singleton, doubling off Dozier to end the seventh.
Milone, who got a no-decision, has won six straight decisions (since May 9). The left-hander was acquired from Oakland for outfielder Sam Fuld on July 31
Eduardo Escobar doubled in his first two at-bats for Minnesota, which had a double in each of the first four innings.
Minnesota took a 2-1 fourth-inning lead when Escobar scored from third base on an errant throw on a pickoff throw to first from Astros starter Brad Peacock. Peacock's throw eluded Singleton in an attempt to retire Santana, who scampered to third base on the play. In pursuing the loose ball, Singleton bowled over first-base umpire Bill Welke.
Carter's 26th home run, a shot to left field in the fifth, tied the game at 2.
Peacock labored, but got a no-decision. In five innings, which took 115 pitches, the right-hander allowed two runs (one earned) and seven hits with five strikeouts and one walk. He needed 99 pitches to get through four innings.

User account and SSH: I need advices...
Hi guys! ;)
I have to do the following:
- create a new user on my linux box (red hat 8) that has a public IP
- this user must have access with full privileges (creation, editing, deletion of files and directories) ONLY AND ESCLUSIVELY to a directory that I decide (and that is not his home directory); he must NOT view other directories in any way
- moreover each time this user connect from his win machine to my linux machine using SSH (with user name and password) he can access ONLY AND ESCLUSIVELY the directory I assigned to him (I repeat: not his home).
How can I do this?
How can I configure sshd to obtain what I want?
How can I configure sshd to let ONLY some users (NOT root) connect to my machine?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can give me help...
:) :)
so this user just needs to dump files?
consider sftp with ssh
when using the utility create user you can create their home directory anywhere
I will do
adduser -d /home/xxx/zzz/username username
but, which options should I specify to let the user access, view, modify or delete only files and subdirectories ONLY in his home directory?
He must have no access to any other directory-files-device on my linux box.
Any suggestion?
Bye:) :)
Please explain your motivation - what do you want him not to see?
The way to make his access as limited as possible is to put his user on his own group. But if all this user needs to do is to ftp then I would suggest some other seperate server software to control his access that doesnt give the user a shell.
Maybe there is something that I don't know...
My user will use only sftp.
Is it possible to create a user only for sftp?
How can I make it?
Or should I create a linux user with only the privileges I mentioned above?
well you can grab a web app that allows uploads and downloads over https and auth_digest or something similiar. My point being if you don't trust this person at all and you have senesitive data on the machine giving this person access to openssh in any regard is probably not a good idea. There are also other ftp servers that are "secure", whereby you can limit all access to a particular directory..
There's actually a project, I think on Sourceforge, for "sftp-only" accounts. Basically it's the same idea as having a "nologin" shell, accept they must be able to authenticate as the user for SFTP, but you don't want them to be able to SSH into the machine.
I wish I had the link to it off the top of my head, but 2 minutes on Google should dig it up.
From the FAQ: Security references thread:
OpenSSH for chrooted sessions on Linux: http://mail.incredimail.com/howto/openssh/
OpenSSH, Scponly: http://www.sublimation.org/scponly/
Using scponly for secure file transfers: http://www.sancho2k.net/filemgmt_dat...s/scponly.html
OpenSSH, Rssh: http://pizzashack.org/rssh/
couldnt he chroot the users home directory so that the user only sees his home and whatever he creates in it?
ok i think that's what UnSpawns links are about but i started typing this so im gonna post it anyway.

City in 1227, the village is part of the lordship of Rougemont and Angeot parish until 1767, when he was attached to the Saint-Germain-le-Châtelet.
The first documents on the history of Felon date from the early 13th century. At the time, provincial Count Otto II, Count of Habsburg becomes. Felon is the stronghold of the family De Felon, whose members met in 1227 attached to the Habsburg family. Felon was quoted in 1227 as the "Vuolon" and under two different names "Furlon" between 1235 and 1241 and "Foulon" between 1565 and 1585. It is from this date the name of the village turns into Felon.
One hypothesis about the origin of the name of the village would be a fulling mill existed in this place. This hamlet belonged to the imperial family of Austria until 1648, when it becomes the property of the Kingdom of France.
Until the Revolution, the village is part of the lordship of Rougemont, which depends County Ferrette. Component of the parish until 1767 Angeot, Felon then became vicar of St. Germain from 1808 to 1824. Only in 1833 an order of King Louis-Philippe I, officially recognizes the independence of the parish.
After being attached to the Canton of Fontaine, Felon since 1984 is linked to that of Rougemont-le-Château.

Architecture, Marlowe 106

Director of CREAte Research Centre
Senior Lecturer
David Haney is trained as an architect and has several years of professional experience in the US. His research interests have always focussed on relationships between architecture and landscape.
His book, "When Modern was Green: Life and Work of Landscape Architect Leberecht Migge" (Routledge: 2010) was honoured (2013) with the prestigious Elisabeth Blair MacDougall Award by the Society of Architectural Historians (US), as an outstanding work on landscape history. This study is primarily a biography of the most important landscape architect for German modernism, Leberecht Migge (1881-1935), but it is also an introduction to several intersecting fields from the period, relatively undocumented in English language literature. Most significantly, this is the first study in English to reveal the importance of ecological thinking within German modernism. Haney's study shows that the roots of modernist philosophies are more complex than often thought, drawing upon varied sources such as alternative communities and international settlement movements. All of these phenomenon maintain contemporary relevance, connections that Dr. Haney is now exploring in his current research.
In 2013, he translated Leberecht Migge's Garden Culture of the Twentieth Century, published by Harvard University Press (2013). He provided a substantial scholarly introduction placing this important treatise in landscape architecture planning in historical context. Migge's notion of "garden culture" captured the essence of the progressive reform movements of early twentieth-century Germany and yet was unique in proposing a comprehensive role for open space planning within this vision. Perhaps the book's greatest significance today lies in Migge's emphasis on the socioeconomic benefits of urban agriculture, which prefigured both this important contemporary trend as well as other recent developments in green technology and infrastructure.
Among his teaching roles, Dr. Haney is the module convenor for "architecture and landscape" design module in the autumn term of second year. His research interests in productive landscapes and the history of ecological design are applied directly in studio design teaching. This past year (2014), students designed a combined cooking and gardening school on a site located within Fowlmead Country Park near Deal, Kent. The park itself is formed of reclaimed land, which was once the area where waste from the Betteshanger Mine was dumped. A local historian and former miner, Jim Davies, presented the mining history of the area to students, who were invited to consider this in their designs. Students were also given lectures in permaculture and ecological factors in Kent to further inform their design thinking. The brief for the project required the students not only to design a small cooking school and centre, but also an extensive landscape area including various structures such as an amphitheatre and a teahouse. Students were asked to develop their own personal, conceptual response to the site and the building programme, which then became the poetic basis for their overall design. In support of this, local artist Patrick Crouch assisted the students while on site in the preparation of gestural ink drawings of the landscape, using found objects as brushes for ink on paper. Students produced an impressive range of poetic, culturally-rooted responses to the site and project brief.
Dr. Haney has taught previously at Newcastle University (UK), The University of Pennsylvania (Philadelphia, US), and Yale (US).
He is the Director of CREAte, Centre for Research in European Architecture.
I would welcome PhD student applications covering topics including but not limited to the following areas:
history of twentieth century architecture; history and theory of landscape architecture / landscape studies; history of ecological design; cultural landscape; urban green-space planning; heritage and 'difficult' histories.

Current projects include
Dr. Haney is currently writing a book length study of landscape architecture in Germany in the first half of the twentieth century, focusing upon reactions to modernity and processes of modernization. Arguably, in no other country in this period were modernity and the means of effectively reacting to it discussed with more analytical intensity than in Germany. Typically in architectural histories, German reactions to modernity are divided between the modernists and the conservatives or traditionalists. However, the association of these two camps with specific forms and styles does more to obfuscate than to clarify underlying economic and social relationships. Further, because the land was central to analyses of modernization and urbanization, the profession of landscape architecture reveals other critical aspects of the overall drive towards controlled modernization than does architecture as the study of building alone. This study will consider landscape architecture in this period in Germany as an expansion and even revision of existing architectural histories, while attempting to deconstruct the simplistic dichotomy between progressive modernist and conservative reactionary.
He is also currently in the planning stages of a collaborative research project on the history of urban agriculture in the London area. This project has arisen from recent research on Kropotkin's influence on actual self-sufficient settlements in London and the Southeast.

File this one in the "rumors" column, because, uh, that's where Electronic Gaming Monthly put it in the first place. But the venerable mag is saying that Final Fantasy XIII — that's 13, as in the one after 12, which isn't coming out until Christmas — will be shown off at E3 in May. For the PS3.
Square Enix responded to the piece today, to say this:
"The recent online article stating that the title will be exclusive for PlayStation 3 and shown at E3 is not based on any official information obtained by us. I hope readers will remember April Fool's day is tomorrow and many Print and Online outlets pull pranks ever year, before they get their hopes crushed by a joke."
1up responded to the effect that they weren't kidding.
You know what would be funny? If Square Enix pulled the FFXIII teaser from the E3 press conference. As a late April Fools' joke on EGM.Go Back to Top. Skip To: Start of Article.

Injured Keppler leads WVU past No. 9 Rutgers
The celebration could begin without her. A stroke of coaching genius and a good tape job made sure it would last.
Playing for the first time in more than a month because of a partially torn hamstring, Keppler came on as a second-half substitute and scored her first career goal with four minutes to play against the Scarlet Knights. When she came on with about 20 minutes to play, it also marked, by her account, her first game action as a forward since she was about 9 years old. A midfielder in high school and club soccer, she began her West Virginia career by moving to center back before the injury.
"Honest to God, I'm not a forward," Keppler offered, a touch of amazement at what had just transpired still in her voice. But in the midst of a season in which West Virginia has started 10 freshmen and sophomores at various times and had scored just 19 goals in 19 games before Sunday's quarterfinal, coach Nikki Izzo-Brown had something else in mind when it became evident that Keppler might be able to provide 15 or 20 minutes of energy off the bench.
"What she brings is she brings speed, strength and obviously she can strike a ball," Izzo-Brown said. "Obviously, her qualities were something that I thought would just mix it up and something that we don't have up top and that could really help us.
"And obviously, for Keppler to finish that was brilliant. And she has it in her. She might claim that she only plays defense, but we've seen her, in training, dribble through our whole team and finish. It wasn't anything shocking to me."
Keppler's ongoing battle with the balky hamstring -- she played six minutes against South Florida at the end of September, two weeks after the initial injury, only to suffer another setback -- had been an apt metaphor for a team's season of frustration. West Virginia had wins against Penn State, Tennessee, Marquette and St. John's but still found itself too close to the NCAA tournament bubble for comfort entering the conference tournament.
Sunday's win ought to secure at least an at-large bid. And perhaps Keppler's perseverance was again a metaphor.
• A quick return to Portland: It's a legacy of former Pilots coach Clive Charles that the Pilots play attractive, technical soccer, something that lives on through current coach Garrett Smith. But the speed with which they do it this season -- particularly down the flanks -- is striking to watch. And it's something Smith said compares favorably to even the 2005 undefeated national championship team.
"I think our overall team speed may be a little bit better," Smith said last week. "When you start looking from Michelle Enyeart, just raw, athletic speed that can get by anybody at any time and create a bunch [of opportunities], to Kendra Chandhoke out wide right to Kendall Johnson wide left -- and the two players sitting in behind those two [Elli Reed and Jessica Tsao] aren't slow, either."
It also says all you need to know about the personal responsibility inherent in the program's philosophy that Enyeart and Sophie Schmidt came to Smith early in the season with the suggestion they switch positions -- Enyeart to forward and Schmidt to attacking midfielder -- and that Smith trusted two of his co-captains enough to do it.

yesterday novell announced the availability of a new product which will offer novell network services on the linux platform. novell's nterprise linux services will be available for red hat and suse distributions of linux later this year. the product will make novell's file, print, messaging, directory, and management services available for users of the linux operating system.
novell's future release of netware 7 will make the full services of netware available in linux as well. the company will continue to also support the netware kernel. as well, available later this year will be novell's groupwise client for linux.
novell's nterprise linux services 1.0 beta will begin testing in july.
read more on this topic at cnet and in the novell press release.
brian's opinion
this is a good fit for novell. it opens up a new base of customers who are more familiar with the linux kernel than the netware kernel. the move also gives linux users a good choice for securing network services. those administrators who are already familiar with netware will be able to leverage this knowledge in a linux os server environment.
ibm has been a huge advocate of the linux operating system. by teaming up with ibm novell gives itself a partner with the expertise and the marketshare to push adoption of novell services into the linux market (see novell's press release).
i predict that if adoption of netware on linux is successful it could mark the end of the netware kernel. i believe that would allow novell to reduce the costs associated with producing netware versions for multiple kernels. i would also assume that the linux kernel is more dominant anyway.

|novell (11:12am est wed jun 25 2003)
a client of mine still uses novell software to run most of their buisness. they say it's far more stable and less resource demanding than microsoft products and thus are able to extend the life of their computer hardware which reduces significantly the total cost of ownership.
they continue to buy new computers that run the microsoft products, but some of their other computers that just log onto the novell network are getting to be around 8-9 years old and they are still in service! some of them are the original pentium-1 computers, in the 133mhz speed range, they take a few minutes to boot, but once logged into the network, they fly!
something to consider when your looking hard a tco.
linux shares that same resource friendly approach, unlike the unstable, bloated hair-ball, resource crushing code that defines new microsoft offerings.

|every wonder – for three days (4:28pm est wed jun 25 2003)
come on kids, most of you cannot even realize what bulshit you are talking. some of you heard from a friend that novell sucks, some of you (with your limited brains) collided with netware and got frustrated. just remember what which nos was born long before windos ), linux (not before the original unix. it's netware, and even taking into mind their bad marketing about the ip support several years ago they are still widely used!? doesn't that tell you something?
and one more thing from all oses i have found linux the one that best suits me but regarding the linux (wanna bes): hey p***ies stop telling how great linux is before ever understanding how the other oses work. hearing from a friend how cool and fast linux is doesn't mean you know a s**t at all. – by doesn't matter
|re: greatgeek sucks more (4:49pm est wed jun 25 2003)
" novell still sucks.. it is flaky full of errors"
this is just not correct! you definitely don't know netware. we run netware on most of our servers. they have been nothing but stable, easy to manage and secure. in fact, netware have fewer security bugs than linux. check this out:
– by sinas
|netware know nothings (5:53pm est wed jun 25 2003)
netware is more stable than any version of nt. period. it is also more secure. anyone who says otherwise has never used novell. i think the move to the linux platform will actually make netware less secure. i have netware servers that have been running for years with 0 downtime except the occasional patch. good old netware was and still is a great choice for a network os. no vbs script or buffer overflow viruses or slammer worms. just uptime. – by linus

we have been using netware for years. we also have many customers for whom we have installed networks based on netware servers.
we have found these to be unbelievably stable. some running for years without reboots.
we also use linux for various internet servers (mail, web, proxy, dns etc.). it is a great operating system, but still not as reliable as netware.
unfortunately we have had to install one only w2k server for our phone system. the least reliable server of all. – by isp person

|understand it before you knock it (11:10am est thu jun 26 2003)
what's with all of this "novell sucks" bs? novell is one of the few big networking corporations that plays nicely with other software vendors, makes products that genuinely do lower the total cost of ownership (see zenworks!), and offers multi-platform services.
i strongly fault novell for public ignorance on their products. most admins don't even know that novell's services: edirectory, zenworks, border manager, groupwise, etc. don't need to be run on a netware server operating system anymore.
if you can, get your hands on a copy of netware. try it out. once you understand how it works, and what it can do for a business, it'll be hard to criticize it. – by folio
|netware has great products (11:55am est wed jul 02 2003)
it's amazing to hear how people talk about novell. i actually have a life because of netware, groupwise , and zenworks are great products that keep me out of the office when i'm not supposed to be there. go ahead, take a look at tco, stability, and support, compared to anyone else. i'll put novell products up against any of them. take a look past all the hype and judge on tecinical merit. novell wins hands down and you can take that to the bank, literally. – by not blinded by hype
|netware is superior to ms (9:12pm est tue jul 15 2003)
i started out with ms products and used them for years. when a friend convinced me to try netware server, i was floored! it is very stable. i have been working with it on my home network for a little over a year. i was so impressed with it's stability and performance that i began getting certified for cna – working on my cne. i was also amazed at the poor attempt that ms made in duplicating nds in the form of active directory and then further screwed up by releasing .net server. i installed and ran 2000 advanced server for about a year on my network and was rebooting the server once or twice a week because the machine would just lock up! i tried .net server for about a week – took it off and went back to using netware. ms server just does not compare! – by leland
|novell netware (5:15pm est mon jul 21 2003)
i've been working with netware now for 15 years, and it has always provided the most stable, secure, fastest, networking available. people who refer to netware as "novell" clearly displays their complete ignorance, and should talk about another subject because they obviously dont work in networking…so their opinions are dismissed.
i am a master cne (certified novell engineer) i have 32 netware servers, 2300 users, 1000 workstations, and netware is the only network os that provides complete management from workstations to applications (using zenworks) to remote connectivity, and allows admins to manage all this under one utility.
i think the addition of linus os will boost novell's status as far as the rest of the world is concerned, but for those of us who use it every day, we're happy with the secure netware kernal.

|novell sucks (10:50pm est wed nov 19 2003)
have you ever tried to make zen 4.01 to work?
after speding $ 85k in a so called better os 6.5 ….it is not better at all.
novell is no better than ms…
|ms server reliability (10:44am est fri nov 21 2003)
i've always used ms servers and have had no problems or issues. i've also used nw servers without problems or incidents. i think it really depends on the hardware. some nos's work better on certain hardware platforms and not so good on other hardware platforms. not that one is better than the other. the reason why ms servers are attacked so frequently is because they are more widely used than nw ever was so the hackers go after them and not the nos that is not as prevalent. if nw was the most widely used, then hackers would go after them. everything can be manipulated and breached. nw is just as vulnerable. why go after peanuts when you can take down the entire circus? this ms / nw war is just silly. they are both superior, it depends on the hardware and the would be technical genius behind the keyboard and mouse. – by neutral
|i'm sorry folks novell does suck ass (2:59am est wed jan 28 2004)
i work for a public school and have had to use this junk shit for 6 years and counting. we had to go with novell because it was cheaper then ms. and i'll say novell is more secure. but only because nobody uses it. the same reason groupwise doesn't get virus. who uses groupwise nobody it sucks. zen4.01 it good but once again nobody uses it it brakes you have to spend $450 on a support call. bottom line novell sucks. there just sucking the money down and onces it's gone there gone – by xms

|ms – netware contest (11:30pm est sat nov 06 2004)
from the comments posted, i see that for some of you it has been a bit hard to "point & click" your way, or read residential pc type help files, to properly implement a netware server, or true nds network. really, ms should have stuck with pc's and left it at that. as far as groupwise not being used. well, the last groupwise training class i went to was full! 75% of the students had groupwise, moved to ms exchange with the trend, and were moving back to groupwise. if you believe netware sucks, i suggest you get some training, find a mentor and listen for a change, and get your head out of the sand… i manage both os's at our company, and have been an engineer for some 15 years. yeah, i might be an old fart so that qualifies me as a netware engineer i guess. at least i can still find a job being an experienced netware engineer with out employers worrying about me being just another ms paper-tech. good luck with the packets.. tyler, cne, mcse, cca, ccna, csa, ohhh and i finally got certified in understanding how to operate my adjustible office chair.. these new contraptions these days can really mess ya up.. – by tyler
|words of wisdom (12:04pm est fri nov 26 2004)
interesting opinions here. i am a scsa (sun certified systems administrator),scna, ccna, who has implemented solaris, linux, and microsoft servers, and have been working with novell netware 6/6.5 for the past year. i have worked with *nix and ms for six years prior to that. for a guy who comes primarily from a *nix server background i find the services that novell provides for the windoze pc desktop as very good (groupwise, zenworks, etc)…but, the netware server software/kernel that they run on is utterly ridiculous. i work with a guy who knows nothing else but windows and netware point and click and unhelpful help tips. he thinks netware is great and holds its own with everything else…yet he has never administrated (nor used for that matter) any other server os! that is the essence of my point: if you haven't experienced any other way other than netware (or windoze for that matter) of course you think it is good. i can't even begin the ways to list how ridiculous it is to get things accomplished in netware, how un-uniform it is, and how much it frustrates me to try and work with it day to day as compared to a *nix box, and how unhelpful the included free support calls are. (*they really are more worried about closing the call instead of actually helping you*) you never know why something happens in netware (why is something like syslog in netware such a hard concept for novell engineers?), you have to rely on patches and fixes all the time like ms too – not just for security, but just to have things work like they are suppose to work! – unacceptable for an environment that is supposedly 'reliable'. (if something is reliable then this means uptime. then can some netware admin tell me why you have to reboot your server every time you make a change to something?) you want reliability and power use solaris. you want robustness use linux. you want to be mainstream use ms. you want to be outdated, frustrated, and limited, then use netware. netware services running on linux is a good direction for novell. it will give the best of both worlds – good desktop applications like groupwise and zenworks, and the reasonable server backing of linux. and my suggestion to you 'dinosaur' netware admins is to learn linux because that is where novell is heading and where the newest advancements are going to be. – by the authority

|incompetent admins??? (4:23pm est mon jun 26 2006)
well, i've read just about all the comments. some are silly spewing of letters. some are informative. i work in the public school system now and we unfortunately run nutware (thanks for new term!) on top of windows. from my current support monkey side, i hate novell. printing was a nightmare! the stability of the servers are awful. they require a reboot every couple weeks. our app servers many times do not do anything but churn out heat. the windows servers go all year. but again after reading it all, i believe that nutware *can* be good with decent admins. the public school system has none. we just throw money at novell and 3rd party nitwits and hope it works. which most of the time (that i see) it doesn't. or at least it doesn't work witout causing other issues. yes, i've worked with other oses both as a support monkey and server admin and instructor: dos, windows nt 3.51, nt 4, 95, 98, 2000, xp, (servers and clients), sco, solaris, hpux, linux (various), sunos, and lots of macs. i could list a couple more if i thought hard. my thoughts are that i do believe i will begin a cna study program as the slackers in charge wont let nutware (i love it!) go anytime soon. i gotta learn it. maybe i'll like it once i know how it *can* be under competent administration! keep your friends close and your enemies closer… – by support monkey
|why??? (11:39am est thu oct 05 2006)
it is not a rhetorical question, i really cannot understand the purpose of netware. everywhere i have seen it used it is riding on top of windows boxes. there is no administration tasks that cannot be done through win2003 server that i can see. every client machine that has to run additional software that is using resources that provide no benefit to completing the work we are trying to complete. i just don't get it. it seems like a useless layer running on top of the os slowing it down without purpose. even groupwise, a simple e-mail client cannot maintain operability for an entire day without crashing. everyone i know using it in our organization has it crash at least every other day. i can write a email client in vbscript that would suck as bad as groupfool. if they can't even write a e-mail client haw can they be that good at any networking anything??? – by wyzerd
