The legal OSX Eula prohibits to install OSX on non-Apple hardware. Therefore you will not find drivers for your specific hardware or get any support from Apple. If you just evaluating OSX for academic or research purposes go to the site http://www.osx86project.org/ for information about running OSX on generic hardware platforms but be careful not to violate the OSX Eula.

For a project I have to learn some of the specialty of an iScsi NAS. To be precise it was Net App FAS 2500 Filer. These things are very nice but a little too expensive for my personal use. But Net App offers a nice simulator of their product and the simulator is free. You just need to create an account on the Net App web site and search for the word ”simulator” or just follow this link. (http://now.netapp.com/NOW/cgi-bin/simulator). Some bloody side note: the website doesn’t work fine with safari. Just use Firefox and all works well in this case.

Recently I bought a new computer with a Samsung Spinpoint F1 as primary hard drive. Every time when I boot up the computer or the system is heavily loading data the hard drive brings the whole computer case into vibrations which is making quite annoying sounds. So I decided to buy a HDD silencer to decouple the hard drive from the computer’s case. At the time of my research several HDD silencer systems where available. The main difference between the various products although was the fact that there are complete decoupling mechanisms and partially decoupling mechanisms for your hard drive.

This week a nice opportunity knocked on the door. As a windows server administrator in large companies you cannot configure every day switches and routers from the basis. Normally some network guy will do the configuration of the cool Cisco stuff for you. The configuration of Cisco is very easy when you know something about networks. The only problem is to know the commands. This week and in the next post we’ll do an easy basic configuration together. The lab is created in an old version of the boson NetSim. Witch is a Cisco IOS and a Cat OS Simulator. It is not the best tool, but it will do the job.

I must admit that I’m not an owner of the LaCie LaCinema Black Max but I’m a proud owner of the popcorn hour A110. The popcorn hour A110 is a small media box which plays almost every video and audio format on the market. The media box includes portal services for youtube, google video, shoutcast and many more platforms. Although I’m very pleased with this box I want to present to you the latest news about LaCie LaCinema Black Max.

This week I want to write  something about security with the MSBA from Microsoft. After a hard week working with the new blade series from HP we do have a bit of insight of the benefits of the c7000. This time the security geek’s will be pleased. First we take a look at the question “what is an Blade Center?”. A blade center is an 12 U high rack mounted system. In this box you have six 2700 Watt power supplies, eight multi-function network slots, ten high performance fans and place for up to 32 dual Quad Core Server. The whole center can be managed from two websites. So its very cool for IT professionals.
