Fink on OS X Servers.

Since OS X server doesn’t come with mrtg (which requires things like gd and the like) by default and the spamassassin is quite old, I’m going to trail fink on one server and macports on another  and pitch them off against each other and see if there is one true leader.

I have to say I’m kinda swinging to Fink as it allow binary packaging which on servers is much more secure that installing compilers and the like.  Another package manager to support.. How annoying.

Why is that fink requires X even to install a perl package… Seems Stupid.. Need more time to fingure this out.  One hopes for a custom repo for corner situations and odd sofware. Might make patch management better on new installs.

Telstra finally connected my home phone in the new digg. This also means ADSL at home. Yay!

Ipv6 On Printers

Went to a client’s office today to solve a printer problem ( Captain Obvious strikes again!) and discovered that Ricoh are now including ipv6 stacks in there C4500 printers. I almost fell of my chair when I saw this in the web interface. What makes this even better is that it also appeared on the printer GUI as well. I will post a screenshot tomorrow when I get back in the office.

All mighty Leader.

Boss goes on holidays today, so I’ve decided (as acting boss) I’m going to make a dint into out debitor report by making phone calls and e-mail to specific ppl.  I’m sure he will bitch at me but 20k is alot of money to have outstanding.

Other good news is that more applications for new jobs are going out this weekend.   [insert shameless plug for AFK Cafe all nighter this Saturday] Working 0000h to 0800 h in Sunday should be alot of fun.
