You will need a Solaris 10 or OpenSolaris host and 1,2GB of disk space. Preparation First, go to a directory where you have enought space. We will need 1,2GB for 6 files of 200MB. The files are named like disks, but they are only files for this demo. text/html 2009-07-21T17:52:00+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://old.andunix.net/blog/2009/virtual_network_visualization Virtual Network Visualization OpenSolaris supports virtual networks using virtual interfaces connected with virtual switches.

In this book, I found amoung other, also very interesting, articles one about LAX by Thomas Groß. LAX has some very interesiting concepts, but, unfortunately, it doesn't fit my needs.

The wikis are able to show tables, but building a table using lots of pipes “|” sucks. What I want to develop (or learn that such a this already exists) is a small application which creates tables which then can be included in wiki pages. text/html 2009-02-18T19:25:00+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://old.andunix.net/blog/2009/dice_roller Dice Roller I programmend a small dice roller in javascript. You enter the number of dice, sides and the offset and press the button “roll”. The script shows the individual dice and the resulting sum. For convenience, there is a second form where you can just enter the number of dice and press the butten for the type of dice. At the bottom, there are some links of six- and eightsided dice, which are often needed in roleplaying games. You can also create bookmarks for dice, e.g. text/html 2010-10-27T12:36:00+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://old.andunix.net/blog/2010/ips_repository_appliance IPS Repository Appliance Brian Leonard wrote a good guide how to setup a Local Repository Mirror. If you are in a hurry, it's good to know that you don't need to copy the entire repository of about 8GB to a local disk. You can use the repository image directly.
