A Linux-Powered Cisco Server with VMware?

Submitted by Webmaster on Wednesday March 11, 2009

Cisco in the server hardware business? With VMware? Using Linux? Has the world gone topsy-turvy while I wasn't looking? If you think about it, Cisco's forte--routers--are lightweight computers that do one specific job--routing packets from one network to another. So, their foray into the dark realm of higher-end server systems isn't such a big stretch for them.

Update on openSUSE Infrastructure Services (download.opensuse.org)

Submitted by Webmaster on Wednesday March 11, 2009

We've restored user services to download.opensuse.org and are working to restore all services and add redundancy to the system.

The repository inconsistencies last night were caused by a missing configuration on the system, which caused it to redirect requests on metadata to mirrors, which are often outdated. That is now fixed.

Database backed Zend_Form elements

Submitted by Webmaster on Tuesday March 10, 2009

A relatively common task when working with forms is filling select boxes or checkbox and radiobutton lists from a database.

It's not very tricky to query a database, and fill a Zend_Form element's possible values from the resultset, but it can be quite boring and extraneous code
