1 / 0
 
http://ubuntuland.nireblog.com/post/2008/08/01/mysql-table-t...
As of MySQL Version 3.23.6, you can choose between three basic table formats (ISAM, HEAP and MyISAM. Newer MySQL may support additional table type (InnoDB, or BDB), depending on how you compile it.
When you create a new table, you can tell MySQL which table type it should use for the table.

Browsers Internet for Linux
1 / 0
http://ubuntuland.nireblog.com/post/2008/01/09/browsers-inte...
There are many browsers available for Linux. I did not find a listing which I thought to be complete, especially considering non-Intel platforms. This list tries to accomplish this task. I tried to include all browsers for web pages (i.e. no pure 3D browsers) which are available for Linux. If a browser is missing or the information given is incorrect, I would be very glad if you could give me the information via email at ubuntulandnireblog@gmail.com

How Dell and System76's Ubuntu Machines Stack Up to Their Mac Counterparts
2 / 0
http://www.dawningvalley.com/2008/08/how-dell-and-system76s-...
Open source operating systems obviously give more bang for the buck than any other operating system in the world. After all, they’re free, and you can’t get lower than free (unless you’re Kaspersky). However, what about pre-installed Ubuntu machines? Do they beat their Windows and OS X competitors in the bang for the buck category? Dell got rid of the so-called Windows tax, so it’s obvious that pre-installed Ubuntu on Dells give more power than pre-installed Windows on Dells. But what about Macs?

KDE 4.1: What to expect
1 / 0
http://www.dawningvalley.com/2008/07/kde-41-what-to-expect/
Recently, Gnome’s been gaining a lot of ground on its KDE counterpart in the desktop environment wars. The KDE developers were hoping to change this with KDE 4, the new radical release of KDE, but it was not to be. KDE 4.0 was buggy and unstable, leaving everyone except the hard-core KDE lovers. Mainly, this was because it just didn’t work most of the time. However, the developers were not without hope. They promised that KDE 4.1 would be more stable and fix all the holes and problems with KDE 4.0. That time is coming soon: in just four days, K Desktop Environment 4.1 will be released to the Linux masses.

Five Reasons Ubuntu is the #1 Linux Distro
1 / 0
http://www.dawningvalley.com/2008/07/five-reasons-ubuntu-is-...
Ubuntu is, according to DistroWatch, the #1 Linux distribution. That’s a huge feat in itself. However, once you realize that Ubuntu is only three and a half years old, the feat is much bigger. How did the Linux rookie beat out the nine-year-old Mandrake, the fourteen-year-old SUSE, or the fifteen-year-old Debian?

Why is proprietary software so bad?
1 / 0
http://www.dawningvalley.com/2008/06/linux-land-why-is-propr...
One of the biggest arguments in the Linux world rages around proprietary software (software restricted by license and/or price). The majority of the Linux users out there are for pure FLOSS (Free Libre Open Source Software). That is, they only want FLOSS software on their machines. This movement really took off mostly because many of the original Linux and UNIX pioneers were firm FLOSS disciples. However, many users, especially the less philosophical and the more pragmatic, have gotten into the habit of simply wanting what works. Which is the right answer?

VeritasNetBackup: Restores from multiplexed database backups
1 / 0
http://ubuntuland.nireblog.com/post/2008/05/31/veritasnetbac...
NetBackup can run several restores at the same time from a single multiplexed tape. This is done by means of the
MPX_RESTORE_DELAY option, which specifies how long, in seconds, the server waits for additional restore requests of files or raw partitions that are in a set of multiplexed images on the same tape. The restore requests received within this
period are executed simultaneously. By default, the delay is 30 seconds.
