Recent versions of Bind distributed by RedHat and CentOS enable strict zone checking at startup time. This setting can potentially cause problems for Bind users with a large number of zone files or syntax errors in individual zone files. In these circumstances, users may experience an inability to restart Bind after a shutdown.
cPanel has produced and distributed an autofixer for this condition. This repair will run automatically on all systems with updates enabled. However, cPanel checks only occur at specific times and depending upon update schedules, users experiencing issues restarting Bind may benefit from manually executing the code to disable strict zone checking. You may safely execute the autofixer at your discretion by running the following command:
/scripts/autorepair bind_disable_checkzone
While the final release has been available to MSDN subscribers for sometime, yesterday Microsoft officially released to the public the latest version of their flagship operating system – Windows 7.
Like many eager beta testers out there, most of us here at AUSWEB HQ have been using the release candidate betas from the beginning and singing it’s praises most of the way. Whether or not Windows Vista was released too early in PC hardware evolution terms, or whether it was just a lackluster O/S, is still widely debated. However, based not only on our experience, but the overwhelmingly positive response from Windows 7 beta testers, one thing for certain is Microsoft’s new O/S is much improved and in a perfect world, is what Vista should have been!
There is one area where Microsoft may never fully succeed however and that is their branding and marketing. They’ve tried many times to take lessons from Apple, but as seen in the widely parodied Windows 7 Launch Party ad’s last month, and in their new Windows 7 launch advertisements – they’re trying hard to be cool, but are just as geeky as ever. Either-way, Windows 7 get’s two thumbs up from us!
Microsoft announced the final RTM signoff for Window’s 7 today. Meaning manufacturers can now start mass production in preparation for the official “General Availability” release date of October 22nd.
Over 10 million people chose to participate in Microsoft’s opt-in Customer Experience Improvement Program (CEIP) providing feedback on Windows 7 beta’s, along with countless more non-participating beta users. The overall consensus with Windows 7 beta testers has been far more positive in comparison to Windows Vista, who’s mistakes Microsoft are keen to learn from.
You can bet Steve Balmer’s happy about how things are progressing and in honour of this milestone for the big M, here’s a lookback at one the Microsoft CEO’s finest moments.
Nine months after launching the Chrome web browser, Google has now announced the Google Chrome Operating System, “an attempt to re-think what operating systems should be.” Google plans to offer Chrome OS on a wide array of devices in 2010, but the first target will be the increasingly lucrative netbook market.
