Ubuntu update-manager makes system unresponsive for large updates
by Chetan S 23 May '07

23 May '07

Hi all, I am running on ubuntu gutsy without any problems for a while. One of the things i encountered, was the heavy load the update process can put onto your system making it almost freeze. Well for now I do this via cli - sudo nice -n 19 apt-get update sudo nice -n 19 apt-get dist-upgrade This leaves my system upgraded and usable in the time when its upgrading. Any thoughts on how I can make the update-manager from ubuntu play nice ? C

Troll is definitely require here. Do you know what is contribution of Novell in pushing OO.o to masses? Do you know that almost all top OO.o developers are working with Novell to contribute and making OO.o better? Do you Know about Micheal Meeks/Pavel Janik/.. ?

The point is that while Novell might be doing a good job with OO.o, it may well be losing out on loyalty in its core network system goodwill treasure chest. Having said which, the original post is about hiring OO.o developers. FROM THE EDITOR :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: Leaving Novell, despite years of loyalty At Red Hat Summit last week, I talked to a Novell NetWare die-hard whose relationship with and love for Novell died, well, hard. Like many users, Jim Klein realized in 2003 that NetWare was a "dead-end street" and was looking for alternatives. Klein, IT services/technology director at Santa Clarita, Calif.-based Saugus Union School District (SUSD), ruled out Microsoft Windows because management costs were higher, security problems were rampant then and he didn't want to get locked into Microsoft's upgrade routine. When Novell acquired SUSE Linux, he saw the opportunity to stay with Novell and get an operating system with a lot of life in it. Unfortunately, SUSE glitches caused trouble, and Novell didn't offer much help to fix problems. Also, Klein found that Novell didn't have the community-oriented spirit associated with Linux. "To me, it looks like Novell just uses Linux as an entry to selling proprietary products to put on top of it," Klein said. Quite the opposite was true of Red Hat and its Linux distro, and SUSD runs most of its applications on Red Hat Enterprise Linux today. For more about Klein's Novell and Linux journey, check out this Enterprise Linux Log entry. Did your Novell NetWare and SUSE experiences end in divorce, or is it still a love affair?
