At work, I now have around 50 desktops running Ubuntu and around 40 servers (including customers machines) also running Ubuntu. As you can imagine, when you have a security update of X, this represents a lot of bandwith usage! Not to speak about Hardy upgrade! We started to look at different solutions to optimize our [...]
One of the thing I should have done on the 18th of october, is blogging about the new Ubuntu release : 7.10, codename Gutsy Gibbon. No need to make another list of new (great) features included in the release, I would like to talk about the server team.

Now my server is under Ubuntu [...]
Lucas demandait aujourd’hui dans un billet sur son blog le meilleur moyen de se connecter à l’IRC. Je répondrai ici en Français (Lucas, comment on fait pour répondre quand les commentaires et les trackback sont fermés ? :-)). Ma solution sera un peu différente de celle présentée par Christian Perrier.
J’ai les mêmes contraintes que Lucas [...]
J’utilise à des fins de tests, une RHEL 4.0 et étant habitué à apt (vous avez remarqué que les billets traitent plutôt de Debian et Ubuntu généralement non ?), apt me manque terriblement ! yum fournit une solution acceptable (même si je continue à préférer apt), mais il n’est pas disponible sur la RHEL :-(.
