Fedora Directory Server (part 2)

Ok, I have installed the Fedora Directory Server. Installation is quite strait-forward, configuration is done through simple wizard and is very easy.

Next step is Management Console. It is a java-based (I guess so) interface with lots and lots of things inside that I do not know :( :)

Anyway – I decided to study all of it so I am currently downloading tons of PDF files from redhat and I gonna read all of them in the NEAREST future since I really believe that this is something great and that I have (or no – MUST) no it :)

Watched Be Cool

be_cool.jpgWatched Be Cool yesterday. This movie has a lot of famous people in it including John Travolta, Uma Thurman, Steven Tyler, Danny DeVito and The Rock and some other. It is a kind of funny movie but at some points it reminded me of watching nice movie on the TV when you really enjoy the movie but you have ads running every 5 minutes when you feel you’d better shutdown the TV and the only reason not to do so is because apart from the ads everything is great. This movie has quite a number of very good and funny scenes but from time to time there are a lot of boring ones

Fedora Directory Server

Since fedora Directory Server is now out and I am like to play around new things I decided to check what’s there. I took my old machine (which I use as my playground for the past few months) loaded with Fedora Core 2 (kind of minimum install), downloaded the Fedora Directory Server and installed it.

First notice – installation fast and with no problems. FDS was in RPM and I during the install I received only one notice telling me that I should proceed with installation by running a setup script from the installation directory – that was what I did.

The setup script gave me an EULA and then warned that I have low memory (128 only) and that my kernel is not supported (2.4.7 or higher have to be installed while I was using standard 2.4.6 which comes with FC)

Now I am in the process of updating kernel and then I will try to run FDS on the machine (ignoring the memory lack) to see what’s there :)
