Good point. Only time will tell and I bet that history is going to repeat itself, thus having us all head over to windowsupdate for patches…. Previous Linux installs of mine have always felt snappy and responsive, but this Red Hat 9 install does not.
The 2. Maybe you can test it out by installing a development version of the kernel 2. The original NT driver model ran drivers outside the kernel, outside of ring zero. A bad driver could not crash your machine.
Of course there was a small performance penalty, but that was more than compensated by a giant reliability boost. Throughout the course of developing an email client on NT 3. For servers, it would be an interesting development to bring back the original NT driver model. Many people would gladly give up a few percentage points of speed for rock solid system stability. One one of my machines, I run Windows Server and it is much faster perceptually apps load fast, directories update quickly, etc than Windows Professional.
And when you want to do something… i. No messing around like you have to do on the Professional version of the OS. I appreciate the early view of Windows WinXP at home, 9 months, no defrag, heavy audio and video editing, no slowdown.
Just a feeling. It also means easy clustering, easy load balancing, terminal services etc etc. And there, Win2k3 shines. If you use Windows over time it will slow down because cruft is accumulated in the registry. I went to the windows server coming out party and grabbed one of those evaluation disks.
This is just like the previous Server versions of Windows. They have different a engine under the hood that is geared for heavy duty work. With the previous versions of Windows Server products the performance of them as a workstation was below that of the workstation version of the OS. Which only begs the question, how much better would the performance be if Microsoft released Windows Workstation ?
There is most always a time when one needs to quickly share a directory here or there just to transfer one or two quick little files. I think the slowdown depends mostly on how much crap you install, how muchyou let running in the tray etc.. I used to be able to keep my win95 man that feels so old now running really nicely for basically as long as i wanted. I took care of that box, cleaned out the registry frequently, defragged once a week, didnt install things other than what i needed.
When he bought it, it was almost a joy to use, the sickening xp interface aside of course. Install a Slackware 9. I am sorry, but this article proved exactly the opposite. I have Red Hat 9 on this same machine, and in fact Red Hat is installed in the beginning of the drive where the hard disk is faster. What do you want to compare? Loading times in general, UI responsiveness? Win2k3 wins hands down. I knew that some clever goofie will come over here and reply something like that just out of a reaction.
Is it because they do it on their own in a scheduled time? You will need to either have files of a fixed file size which is useless or you will need to use a technique which will render your hard drive full after only filling a few percentage of the real size of the drive.
This will not fix existing fragmentation, but will affect all newly created files and appends. If desired, you can defragment by copying a fragmented file and deleting the old one. To defragment the entire fs, restoring from a fresh backup is your best bet as there is on defrag tool for reiserfs yet.
Question for Eugenia, will Apple give you a copy of their Turn off all the eye candy, lose the fisher price theme, disable the web folders, and you have a pretty fast desktop OS. I might email them it months before the release.
Small files less than say 4 filesystem blocks or 16kb make-up the bulk of the files in a system. Once closed, it is comparatively rare for a file to change size think config files, program binaries, archives, MP3s, pictures, etc. IE pre-loads all of itself on boot. The review was about Win2K3 as a workstation, though, and needs to be evaluated in that context.
Yes it does. It does on the Win2k3. I used both XP and Win2k3 and I also used other apps as a measurement too. Incredibly faster. Also, on features, not only apps are measured, but OS features, down to kernel features, filesystem, UI.
For example, as I wrote in the review, the newly compiled apps are completely flicker-free, something that is not available on XP. Script errors, YES.
WIn2k3 has been extremely slow here. I guess it needs a lot fo time to ge tall these drivers to be compatible. Did you install third party drivers? Were you careful to download drivers that do support Win2k3?? You just need to turn on the Theme server which is of course turned off by default as this is a server OS.
Anyway, I will give Linux a try as my main OS in mid by the second round of distributions from now or Even if it does not, it is easy to add it as it shows in one of the screenshots. There is not a problem adding another MS OS to the boot manager. The problem only starts when you want to install non-MS OSes. I had to give my address in order to be sent the CD! This way they can debug problems and help you when you call their customer service for this or the other issue.
I see this as a big plus, not a minus. It is the only way for them to serve and debug better. The strange part is that it works perfectly with Windows Advanced server, oh btw, it was a clean installation not an upgrade. If someone can clear this issue up, it would be really great.
Regarding Windows security, all I can say is this, it has been one month and no security alerts and apart from a feature request by people using Windows Server and Windows Server, Windows Server has turned out to be a very stable and reliable product.
Oh, btw, Java does perform pretty well on it. For instance, if you make major changes to your hardware 4 new components, or a new mb, or something else , your windows thinks you have installed a pirated copy, and you have to again send your information to MS before it lets you use the software.
Maybe you should break out your winXP license agreement and actually read it — using the software and installing the service packs, especially gives microsoft express permission to come into your box and look for pirated software. Makes me sick, honestly. As for what I would use as an alternative, why not Solaris on x86? Solaris on the other hand has been time tested and has been in the marketplace thus it has matured and developed into a very strong x86 server operating system.
I have heard it of course and I have used it. It is a painless registration. If this is what will make people stop pirating a product, then I am all for it personally. I have nothing to hide really. The original NT kernel was a Micro based kernel, however, as the operating system became more complex the performance penalty due to the large amount of contextural switching became unbearable, even for a server environment.

Clear instructions. Easy to follow. No jargon. Pictures helped. Didn't match my screen. Incorrect instructions. Too technical. Not enough information. Not enough pictures. We have 3 office locations, going to simplify with numbers, 1, 2 and 3.
I can however talk to servers that are and higher, located at both buildings 1 and 2. My boss, however can talk to all of the servers via UNC. My last windows update was KB on Sept 7 and based upon some logs I keep for mainly debugging purposes, I know the problem began at some point between Sept 4 and Sept I've removed this update, but no luck.
As per the linked thread, I've also checked the windows firewall on the server I'm trying to connect to, but it is disabled. I've also run network diagnostics, again with no issues found. I can both remote into and ping the server in question. I completely forgot I disabled that. Problem solved. This is why documentation is important, as is removing legacy stuff to avoid having systems vulnerable. Trust me, I know on the legacy stuff, we're working on it, got a couple stubborn managers that still think they need immediate access to ancient stuff on those servers.
I plan to have a big party when we finally turn the last of them off :.
