spike'afternoon04:26
tarvidhello04:30
tarvidi have a few servers up on hoary and breezy04:31
tarvidplanning on more04:31
tarvidthis looks more like a career than a project04:31
spiketarvid: hi there04:32
tarvidi'd like to put one "sandbox" on the cutting edge.04:32
tarvidhi spike04:32
tarvidbut serviceable04:32
tarvidwhere should i get my files?04:32
spiketarvid: I've no idea what u're talking about, sorry04:33
tarvidthere was a breezy "server" release a couple of months ago, does dapper include those efforts?04:34
Pygiwell, there will  be a dapper "server" release if that's what you mean04:37
spiketarvid: which efforts?04:38
=== spike keeps not getting it
tarvidPygi, i found a dead link to nightly dapper server builds04:38
tarvidspike, LDAP among others04:38
Pygitarvid: well, not sure that there is a current server build04:38
spikeLDAP what? if it'll be included in dapper?04:38
infinitytarvid: The "server" CD is just a different package selection from the regular CD.04:39
tarvidthere are more than enough packages, the issue is how much work is required to get them to work together04:39
infinitytarvid: All the packages come from the same archive.04:39
Pygiinfinity: and the dapper server will have tweaked kernel, won't it?04:40
spikePygi: it will04:40
infinityPygi: The dapper server CD will have the "server" kernels on it, yes, but those are also in the main archive.04:40
Pygiinfinity: yup, I know...04:40
infinitySo, you can just as easily use a "normal" CD, then switch kernels, or do a netinstall, or, or..04:40
tarvidso if I download dapper and say "server" at the install I get the "server" release?04:40
tarvidthere was a separate iso section on the mirrors called ubuntu-server04:40
infinitytarvid: Basically.  "server" at the install prompt just means "install a very minimal system, and let me tweak it after"04:41
infinitytarvid: "ubuntu-server" has a different set of packages on the CD (not installed by default, just shipped), and a different default kernel (but you can install that after the fact, if you use a regular CD...)04:41
infinityJust install "linux-server" after you install dapper, if you want to check out the server kernel.04:42
tarvidah! perhaps exactly what I am looking for.04:42
tarvidi run three ubuntu web servers, one (not ubuntu at the moment) mail server, one backup server, a staff server, ...04:43
tarvida few of the staff members have sandbox servers04:44
tarvidwe like to stay on top of ubuntu servers in some rational manner04:44
=== ajmitch [n=ajmitch@203.89.178.198] has joined #ubuntu-server
tarvidit is beginning to look like a career04:45
=== spike is worried
tarvidwhat does spike want to do?04:46
=== ajmitch [n=ajmitch@203.89.178.198] has joined #ubuntu-server
tarvidone of the tasks i am facing is a new mail server04:53
tarvidi pulled user shell accounts ages ago and a virtual server makes sense04:54
tarvidthe sql setup for courier and postfix is close but not congruent04:54
tarvidi have several people who maintain mail accounts04:54
tarvidi'd like to have a consistent tool for them to add, archive, delete mail accounts04:55
tarvidi haven't found one that rolls up everything into a package04:55

Xoritorwow07:01
=== ogra [n=ogra@ubuntu/member/ogra] has joined #ubuntu-server
Xoritoranyone here run ubuntu with xen07:37
Xoritori see a few mentions on the forums07:37
spikeXoritor: I do, self compiled07:38
Xoritordo you have to self compile it?07:38
ubijtsa2yes07:39
spikeXoritor: integration is a bit problematic because of ubuntu release cycle/policies and xen ones. in short their kernel patch release cycle is too slow and wont apply to latest kernel provided by ubuntu.07:39
Xoritoroh07:39
Xoritorbummer07:39
spikeXoritor: if u want something stable of course. dev tree has patches that applies to current, tho07:39
Xoritorhmm07:40
ivoksxen should enter linus's kernel :/07:40
ubijtsa2it will, in time07:40
Xoritorivoks, i have not used it enough to say if that would be good or bad07:40
Xoritor;-)07:40
Xoritorheh07:40
spikeXoritor: "it's the best thing since sliced bread"07:41
=== spike loves that one
spikeehehe07:41
spikealways made me laugh07:41
ivoksXoritor: if you take a look on linus's kernel, you would see Xen is much more stable then most of that kernel :)07:41
ubijtsa2http://www1.us.dell.com/content/topics/topic.aspx/global/products/monitors/topics/en/monitor_3007wfp?c=us&l=en&s=gen  <- how's that for a monitor07:41
ivoks30"?07:42
spikeonce they get guests running with no modifications on intel/amd hw virtualization, then things will get serious07:42
ivokslol, that's a great TV for movies :)07:42
ubijtsa22560x1600 resolution...07:42
spikeI tend to dislike 'em for quite a few reasons07:43
ubijtsa2some desktop that would be...07:43
spike2-3x17-21 is a *much* better solution imho07:43
ivoksspike: i agree07:44
maswanivoks: an lcd computer monitor is likely to suffer from the "no dark" problem07:44
spikeit's easier to keep things organized with more screens running separated X, not xinerama07:44
spikeit's easier to replace a faulty one and u wont kill urself if for some reason u break it by accident07:44
ubijtsa2if separate X displays, just run x2x07:45
maswanI prefer just one monitor really07:45
maswanAnd the higher the resolution the better07:45
spikeubijtsa: eh? why should I? and there's better than x2x, synergy07:45
maswanOf course, I don't want to spend that much money on a monitor. :)07:45
spikeubijtsa: works with windoze too07:45
Xoritorivoks, i dont dispute that at all07:45
ubijtsa2I'd like two, in xinerama, with 1600x1200 on each07:45
spikeanyway, x2x or whatever implies other boxes, here we were talking of monitors07:46
spikenvidia has got a relly well working mode for that, besides xinerama07:46
ivoksi would like one small 14 or 15"07:46
ivoksno wide screen07:46
ivoksmy next laptop won't be widescreen :/07:47
spike3 17 is my best setup07:47
ivoksand, it won't be dell :))07:47
spikegod bless u man :)07:47
spikegot an inspiron?07:47
ivoksyup 860007:47
spikedoh07:47
spikeirc'ing from one of those crappy thingie07:47
ivoksthere is more glue than plastic on this laptop :))07:47
spikeanyway, back to work, talllk to u later07:48
ivoksbye07:48
