Questions about shell account

[prince18th]

hello, I plan to own a shell acc here.. I got your addresses to send money to .. My curency is VND, I want you guys to know that 15 units in this curency equal to 1USD .. So how much will I have to send ?

Denisf : Are you support shell account on ur server ? If I want to contact you to arrange this .. What should I do ?

[DenisF]

In your case, the shell fee is 30VND [2USD~]

And i'm the root [of all evil] on mandrake, but the address to send application form + fee is the same [zoli's].


You know the usual proccedure; take cash, send the cash.
print form, fill it in, fax it.
that's the long way, but zoli's away for a few weeks so..

[prince18th]

Oh it's okay .. when he's ready I will do my works .. err .. sorry Denisf.. I have a wrong word in the first post .. In VND :
15.780 VND = $1
But I will send about $5 to Zoli .. Okay got all the info I needed. Thanks Denisf.
Ah, Will I have to fax the form ? Can I send all ( money , form , ect. ) via postoffice ?

Denis' shell rocks

[DenisF]

Yeh you can send it all together in a single package, u can send it now and it will arrive by the time that zoli will be back

And chaz, i think the folks who have their eggdrops restarted every 5~10 days would disagree
but then again, i still keep my 99.9% uptime ^_^

[prince18th]

newer is better .. I have just taken a lock on the info about some of your servers.. About Denis's it's good and just becoz Denis is my friend ..

[DenisF]

hehe my server is indeed the second best [hardware+software wise] on polarhome, since i have no life and i basicly babysit it all day long

that comes at a price though, look at solaris for example, it's been up for the past half year.
while my server's uptime is restarted every 5~10 days [best i got so far was 11 days or so].

So if you're one of those people who think the latest is the greatest, and don't mind a few restarts per month, go for mandrake.
otherwise id'e suggest any of zoli's machines. [except freebsd, it's overloaded to hell and back]

[sjaz]

dont crowd my solaris.

So C'mon join the Alpha

[DenisF]

Not that many people are qualified vms operators

I do believe that a good UNIX/Linux person can get the hang of it pretty fast... Some things look dumb at first glance, compared to Unix, but there are good reasons for the difference... except perhaps for handling UID/GIDs in octal :wacko:

[sjaz]

I dont have an account on the alpha box but im tempted to give it a go.

Hey guys -
Let me add my <span style='color:red'>warm</span> recommendation for the Alpha (or for that matter the VAX; exactly the same!)

There should be a pointer in my sig to a page with some VMS help: If you're really new start with the beginners FAQ. If you have specific VMS-related questions, theres online documentation - click the link for <a href='http://h71000.www7.hp.com/' target='_blank'>HP OpenVMS Home</a> (on my page) and look for the pointer to "documentation", or the <a href='http://h71000.www7.hp.com/doc/731FINAL/6489/6489PRO.HTML' target='_blank'>User's manual</a>

Or try the most helpful OpenVMS command : HELP (try it it works! Better than man or apropos, IMHO)

...Or ask here...
