Development time
This office is now starting development and learning times for about 1.5 hrs three Thursdays out of the month. Thanks to Travis for suggesting this wonderful idea and to Bill for being open to the suggestion and implementing it so quickly and giving his full support. I believe this will benefit everyone on campus, not just our ucs team.
I worked in a team with Shaun, Dale, Ron, and Joe to build a Solaris 10 box using Sparc hardware on the old cook machine. I was able to use a lot of my notes from Solaris 9 installs, so that helped. There were a few quirks along the way, of course, but it went very smooth. We have the entire install done, but now there needs to be configuration and patch updates installed. We want to put Oracle 10g on this machine for testing next week. Man pages didn't seem to work, so we'll need to fix that and then figure out how to remove unsecure services, such as finger, ftp, etc... I'm hoping we can create a flash install so I can easily rebuild my defunct machine, jester. I may try that later.
Since I'll be on vacation next week, I hope someone takes some notes about the Oracle install. I'm really interested in the db admin part.
