From arronlorenz@gmail.com Sun Dec 6 17:49:16 2009 From: arronlorenz@gmail.com (Arron Lorenz) Date: Sun, 6 Dec 2009 11:49:16 -0600 Subject: [QCLUG] FreeNAS using Debian Message-ID: <30cf66b30912060949x2f5f5033y156f683bb831e992@mail.gmail.com> ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment I normally don't like to post along Slashdot/Digg articles but this one from Slashdot seems to have hit the nail on the head. Interesting to see a networking/storage distro moving to Linux. *"FreeNAS , a popular, free NAS solution, is moving away from using FreeBSD as its underlying core OS and switching to Debian Linux. Version 0.8 of FreeNAS as well as all further releases are going to be based on Linux, while the FreeBSD-based 0.7 branch of FreeNAS is going into maintenance-only mode, according to main developer Volker Theile. A discussion about the switch, including comments from the developers, can be found on the FreeNAS SourceForge discussion forum. Some users applaud the change, which promises improved hardware compatibility, while others voice concerns regarding the future of their existing setups and lack of ZFS support in Linux."* -- From: Arron James Lorenz http://ArronLorenz.com (563) 4470-AJL Reel to Reel Drive-In DavenportDriveIn.com Profit is only profitable to the extent that you can use it ~Timothy Ferris ---------------------- multipart/alternative attachment An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

This will be my first desktop since the SuSE one I played with so long ago. Although my server has most of what one might find on a desktop, also, it's definitely more "servery" than "desktoppy", whereas this one will be quite the opposite.

I told him I would pass it on to the LUG. They do a fair amount of work with Linux and OSS (they have a Linux mail server, a XenServer (Citrix) Hypervisor for VM's, and are looking at implementing an OpenFiler iScsi SAN). If anyone is interested, please send me your resume and I will pass it forward. Also feel free to forward this to someone if you feel them to be appropriate. Here is what he sent me: I am looking for an individual who will actively look for ways to integrate themselves into our organization. This would be through the understanding of our business and the ability to see how technology can factor in to moving it forward in a planned cost effective manner. This will cover the topics of hardware, software, data management, reporting, and all aspects of planning which will include but not be limited to procurement, budget, and life cycle. The ability to research and seek out solutions proactively as well as implementation of adopted hardware, software, and protocols, is a must. The position will include the routine maintenance of all systems relevant to IT and will require involvement at the store level. TASKS Store Level PC=92s / Maintenance and Support Hardware OS Software WAN and LAN=92s / Maintenance and Support Hardware Firmware Devices on LAN=92s / Maintenance and Support Order Confirmation Boards Marque Reader Boards DT Timers Credit Card Machines Point of Sales System MFC printers / scanners Security Systems (tbd) / Maintenance and Support Cameras DVR=92s Sensors Alarms Safes Office Level PC=92s and Servers / Maintenance and Support Hardware OS Software Administration Optional / Reporting (future) Crystal MS SQL MAS 90 Web Portal for Reporting PROJECTS (current) We currently are in still in the process of vitalizing the server for our back office software package on our new HP Proliant ML350 G5. This should be done by year end. Also install more drive space and add it to the XenServer (Citrix) and associated VM=92s. We need to upgrade the older HP Proliant ML350 G3 with more drive space and a second processor. Then we will format and reload a fresh install of MS Server 2003 or 2008 32. This server will need to be re-setup as our on site tape back up. Plus it will need to serve our yet to be installed GPS tracking and reporting solution for the company vehicles. If it can be our back up DC it will be that as well. Otherwise a back DC will need to be created on a third machine. Evaluate store level and office security and safety. Evaluate network for improvements. PROJECTS (future) Research, procure and implement Security Systems in all stores. To be completed by end of 2010. Research, test, procure and implement next generation POS system. To be completed by end of 1st Quarter 2011. Research, and implement off web secure PCI compliant network. To be completed by end of 2011.
