skyman8081:
The only Caveat with Zen, is that the server end runs on Novell NetWare.  So you'd be looking at a big-ass overhaul of your LAN, one that gives you more control.

We used to use Ghost at my school, I remember it, and then I wake up screaming.

haha. Scratch that. No Novell going on here. :D

I'm not too sure about Novell giving you more control, but...

I've had a really good Novell Directory vs. Microsoft AD argument with a Novell person a couple of years back. We went back and forth for quite awhile and eventually came to the conclusion that both of us were "right".

We were comparing Microsoft / Novell whitepapers and marketing material and came to the conclusion that both systems had extremely similar capabilities, in respect to their claims about the other, both Novell and Microsoft were full of shit.

Refalm:
From experience, AD is an unlogical system that has up to three different directory and file rights, and a very confusing connectivity scheme.

NetWare on the other hand, was a fresh breath of air. You've got NetWare rights, the NTFS rights are simply ignored, install the Novell Client on a client computer and you're done, and it's got good LDAP support.

Kintaro:

--- Quote from: toadlife ---Oh, and yes Kintaro, The spirit of GPL is similar to the spirit of communism.

A challege for you Kintaro, name a coutry which has implimetned communism without having to retort to fasism/dictatorship to maintain it.

DUh wazzah happne herre the right wingg facist has mmee sttuck in a hhole again oh NOEZ :X

I am very aware that the problem with Communism (or any new revolutionary radical system) is that the only people interested in working with it are only interested in the power they gain from it.

GPL is still freaky pinko communism and should be banned, nonetheless, its evil, isn't it.

If you were being less specific, I would say a good implementation of Socialism is http://www.wikipedia.org and I think governments could learn from the way that is run.

As for the schools debate, not everyone is a genius with computers. Their are morons out there who will get spyware and bullshit on computers. However instead of the educational facilities actually educating they will instead put restrictions on the systems to stop bullshit getting into the machines, as not only does bullshit smell and eat network bandwidth, but it also causes problems for students who are stupid and don't know what to do.

Live with it, learn to work around it if you want. I had a CGI Proxy running on my webserver too, with SSL support, so I could log into my gmail from school. Stop bitching and start learning ways around things, thats how schools create a good hacker.
