It should be noted that this isn't quite true. The default (production-grade) KVM module shipped in SmartOS presently only supports Intel CPUs with both VT-x and EPT. SmartOS itself runs fine on AMD CPUs, and you can use everything exc

This is something we've been working to fix in the community! The good news is that most of the development and testing so far has been on an N36L-based Microserver, where the experimental AMD KVM support seems to work pretty well. There'

It might not be important to you, but I don't think the article is saying that it has to be. I think it's a good yardstick, though, for taking the 'temperature' of the sorts of policies and the kind of work environment you're about to be

My time as a system administrator makes me rather fond of logging as text into files. They're simple, easy to scale, to rotate, to compress and to throw away. One variation on this theme that I read about recently is to produce log lines

Huge might be the wrong word, but I've definitely been frustrated that it's missing. Java has a standard library class that works well enough for whole-file advisory (or mandatory if you're on Windows, I suppose) locks on a local filesyste

Emotive language though it may be, I don't think it's all that far from the truth. The iPad most definitely is a general purpose electronic computer. It can run any software that's loaded onto it. Except that it can't, really, because i

It's always great to see people turn their (potentially quite narrow) personal experience into broad proclamations. "I have never had a productive exchange via IRC, therefore it is not possible for anybody to do so!" Meanwhile I have produc
