But I just want to say that you should have a look at Mac OS and Ubuntu, I’ve notice they are bloody similar in their current market and … ambitions.

They are both good on a home desktop, they can do as a home server ( they have server editions ). They also lack hardcore enterprise solutions.

Now you wish to connect to one of the servers. You are typing

ssh mylovelyserver.somesubdomain.mylovelylongdomain.tld

How much do you like to type such a long address ?

When you are working from one machine, you can set it up, so you can very easy access your servers.

You can use

search somesubdomain.mylovelylongdomain.tld

or

domain somesubdomain.mylovelylongdomain.tld

in your

/etc/resolv.conf

which make your servers accessible just by the host name. Then

ssh mylovelyserver

does the job.When you are feeling really lazy, you can setup some aliases in your shells rc file. Something like

alias ssh-mylove = ssh mylovelyserver.somesubdomain.mylovelylongdomain.tld

can save a few key strokes.That was easy when you were working from the same computer all the time. It would be even easy if you would work from a few computers, where you keep your configurations synchronized.

It is not so easy when you have to connect to your servers from different locations and systems which you are not in control of. You are back to typing all that lovely.nice.descriptive.domain.names.

That is why I am opting for a short, not descriptive, easy to type domain names. Which you will use for fast access. Typing

ssh sharp.yllq.net

is much quicker than

ssh sharp.somesubdomain.mylovelylongdomain.tld

Have you tried to dictate yours servers domain location over the phone ? I do it quite often, and believe me, even it the domains make sense for you, they might be confusing for people and longer domains are asking for more mistakes. it is easier to say s-h-a-r-p.y-l-l-q.n-e-t than s-h-a-r-p.s-o-m-e-s-u-b-d-o-m-a-i-n.m-y-l-o-v-e-l-y-l-o-n-g-d-o-m-a-i-n.tld just to make sure person at the other end of the phone got it right.

My solution to :   “Cannot start Microsoft Office Outlook. Unable to open the Outlook window.
The set of folders could not be opened. The server is not available. Contact
your administrator if this condition persists.”

Is : Rename||copy PST file and get outlook to point to new location. ( Oh and I also have removed shitty Nokia PC Suite from users machine ).

What I have received was nowhere to be said ‘pro’ …
I have spend around 8h or more to remove all the extra empty paragraphs, repeated spaces and finally styling each of the paragraphs, converting formula’a to objects… adding correct captions. Really not the most interesting stuff to do.
Before sending corrected document back to Ania, I had to explain what I have done, and how she should carry-on editing it. And during that time I have written some useful tips for a newbie, all in Polish ( except names from OpenOffice ). I will try to compile a short and no doubt incomplete tutorial. Just after I will get over with this ‘dissertation problem’.

I’ve lost /bin, /boot and some /etc(minor), ah and links in /dev

right now i think that /dev, /boot are completely rebuild, but I’m worried about my /etc

I don’t want to halt or reboot system , it’s running with config from time before rm , so it is useable

remember, never reboot a system , which lost its config files, and/or basic functionality ( like programmes from /bin )

ah , and i’ve used mc, and irb to manipuled the system without functional *sh

right now, i’m thinking about a wrapper for rm to catch all rm -rf /
