Oracle Enterprise Linux 6
mike | 23:25I hope that Oracle will very soon support Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 for his Database, so we also could start with tests there.
OpenSource Video Editor
mike | 23:21Just See the new Release of the Openshot Video Editor, this is a burning point on a Linux System because right now IMHO there is no real good Editor available.
I tried also Kdenlive, pitivi and also Kino but noone is really easy.

SSD Intel X25-M SSDSA2MH160G2C1
mike | Friday, 12. November 2010 23:33Last Friday I saw a SSD on Sale on Daydeal.ch ( http://www.daydeal.ch/index.php?deal=713 ) So as my Laptop Dell 630 with Windows XP is extrem slow on booting I just bouth it.
Today I copyed all over to the new disk and it was awesome ! I boot and loged in about 90s before it was on something 30min. !!!
So maybe I never will have a normal Disk anymore.
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is out
mike | Wednesday, 10. November 2010 23:34Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 is out, at long last. Also IMHO lot of Code come from Fedora 13 not from Fedora 12 also there are lot of Kernel features from 2.6.32 until 2.6.34. The Release is pretty good beside some Problems with the Cluster we found ( it’s running but not really ready for Production ), hope they fix that very soon. Also certification is not there from the Major ISV’s.
Over 3.5 Years after RHEL5, RHEL6 came out. For me I think Red Hat will get into bigger Problems with the Major Releasecycle sooner or later. If they don’t Release a Major Release every 2 -max. 3! Years they don’t get the necessary Hardware update into they’re Kernel. From my side I don’t understand that they wait so long. So at the End the Releaseschedule for RHEL is complete not plannable from outside.Means also the ISV will have some Problems.
Also the Subscriptions have change significant ! http://www.redhat.com/rhel/purchasing_guide.html
Now you have to Subscribe per two – sockel ! also there are 3 diffrent Version for Virtual Guest inclusion. Then more or less all important packages are separate als Add-On ( don’t really understand what is where included )
–> conclusion we are back to RHEL 4 Times
Also the Add-On EUS has two variants EUS and ELS, where EUS extend the Lifecycle of a minor Release the ELS extend the Lifecycle of a Major Release ! BUT the exclusions are Big if you go to Site:
http://www.redhat.com/rhel/server/extended_lifecycle_support/exclusions/
http://www.redhat.com/f/pdf/RH_ELS_CustomerDatasheet.pdf
then you found out that Cluster and GFS for RHEL4 are not supported anyway –> How should buy such a ELS ? For which Server do I need a ELS ? Not for a Single Server, this I could maybe migrate.
