01:27.38Moe__plarsen: hey how are you
01:27.59plarsenhey Moe__ - doing good. How about you?
01:28.04Moe__good
01:28.11Moe__trying out F16
01:28.21Moe__PXE
01:28.41plarsenHaven't had much time with F16 myself yet.
01:28.47Moe__having a lttle boot issue on one of my PCs
01:29.08Moe__fdisk -l complaining about a gpt partiotion
01:29.41plarsenyup. Fdisk doesn't support gpt
01:29.50plarsenbut parted does
01:30.03Moe__parted is newer?
01:31.02plarsenhmmmm - fdisk was "invented" in the way early 80'ies if not late 70'ies. Parted is a script friendly partition editor program
01:31.12plarsenAnd it has abilities outside the "dos" ideas.
01:31.35Moe__Windows seems to dislike GPT as well. I couldnt dual boot because of it
01:32.21plarsenyeah.
01:32.28plarsenThere were rumors once that Windows7 would support it
01:32.43plarsenThe old MBR type partitions are a hazzle to Windows too
01:32.52plarsenToo much baggage to carry around
01:32.57Moe__I have a developer copy of Windows 8, and it was not lining the GPT partition
01:33.07Moe__liking^
01:33.23plarsenyeah, they decided not to go that way
01:33.32plarsenMS is not known to embrace standards ;)
01:33.38Moe__true
01:33.49Moe__they came up with their own DNS implemntation
01:34.16plarsenheh - even their own TCP stack
01:34.34plarsenthey were forced to change that. but the early versions were not standards based.
01:35.13Moe__I figured out what my LDAP problem was from the other night
01:35.27Moe__389 admin server was placing the ssl cert in the wrong location
01:35.35Moe__that is why I couldnt get the server to start
01:36.26plarsen:)
01:36.45plarsenYeah - not all apps has figured out pki and the standard way of locating certs
01:37.22Moe__I want to be able to "sell" linux as an enterprise client server solution. No reason for M$ to have all of the fun
01:38.30plarsenheh - I don't think I've heard the expression "client server" in years ... almost forgot about it ;)
01:38.38Moe__DoD
01:38.57Moe__cloud is to risky for us
01:39.44plarsenThere are many types of cloud. You don't necessarily need to go public cloud.
01:40.01plarsenIf you have enough internal use and mind-share, you can create a private cloud
01:40.15plarsenAnd still get the benefits
01:40.21Moe__I see
01:40.33Moe__sharepoint is sort of a "cloud"
01:40.50plarsenPleeeaze .... ;)
01:41.01Moe__lol
01:41.29Moe__for us anyway
01:45.06Moe__you work for Red Hat dont you?
01:45.34plarsenYes
01:45.42Moe__what do you do for them?
01:45.51plarsenSolutions Architect for JBoss
01:46.15Moe__what exactly is JBoss?
01:46.29plarsenMiddleware
01:46.50plarsenApplication Server, SOA, BRMS, Portal, messaging, monitoring etc.
01:47.53Moe__what would it be similar to in the MS world?
01:48.53plarsenhmmmm - I don't think MS has JEE frameworks.  They have their proprietary .NET stuff. Runs on windows only, with windows clients only. JEE runs everywhere on every type of client and a lot of servers, including MS
01:49.10Moe__ahh .net
01:49.20Moe__I see
02:36.48Moe__plarsen: are we having a release event for F16?
