    Aye, the Solaris machines I was doing admin on a few years back were averaging at around 500-600 days.

    Hi,
    The 64-bit version of CentOS is very reliable and used in a fair number of places, although I would recommend RHEL or SLES (SuSE Linux Enterprise Server) if you can afford it simply because you...

    From my experience the best way to combat this is a combination of cgiwrap and either the Openwall or GRSecurity patches (Linux only, there are similar ways you can restrict in NetBSD and FreeBSD).

    Hi,
    The main reason you'd use Zend Performance Suite, PHPA or Turk MMCache etc. is to eliminate the majority of the overhead involved in parsing, loading, checking and optimizing your PHP files.

    I am infact paid minimum wage by my employer, simply because there are no other tech jobs in the area. You'd be suprised what people can get away with, I should be earning £30-40k a year :(

    The problem with 'uptime monitoring' sites is that most of them only ping you or try to connect to a port every 5 or 10 minutes.

    I think that rule is perfectly acceptable, and it ensures that people just don't promise things they can't provide.
