Vasile Cristescu`s Unix Blog

Frank Pohlmann explains (very nice if you ask me) the reasons for choosing FreeBSD over other operating systems here. This doesn’t mean you should use FreeBSD if another operating systems soots your needs better.

I have read today on a mailing list a very interesting thread. It seems like there is a project Xen hosting that has the goal to provide cheap, reliable, and community managed Xen hosting.  It really seems like a nice project especially because some communities stared using it ( http://www.chris-lamb.co.uk/2007/10/03/yet-another-community-xen-server ) but personally I still prefer good old BSD jails.

In my opinion Xen is a relatively young platform, it isn’t tested enough by a lot o people comparing to the jails that over the years have proven their advantages.Anyway I hope one day this will become a reliable solution because it could be the beginning of something…

After a short vacation ( about 12 days ) I’ve got back to work ( my work ). I have stared on building my personal homepage where, so far there is not much to find except some things about me , some links and some scripts that I use every day in order to make my work easier.

If you have a few minutes to waste please check http://dante.new-order.org and send me some feedback on my email ( dante@new-order.org ) in order to help me drive the website in the right direction.

Yesterday was a sad day, I’ve finished watching all five seasons of Justice League ( my favorite cartons ) , so I’ve asked some friends to recommend me something else to watch because my life without movies and serials would be to boring . Some of them recommended me Lost , Prison break , Rome , 24 but I have already seen those. Finally my friend Radu gave me the solution that is going to keep me busy for a very , very long time. He recommended me a website where you could see lots of series on line , yes heard ( seen ) it right a lot of series online .
