O'Reilly is doing a new certification/training system called the O'Reilly School of Technology at http://oreillyschool.com/courses/

They are offering a Linux section which might be interesting, with the cost around $400.00. Looks like you might be able to get real credits for them at some universities.

Thoughts?

Moderator, if this isn't allowed on this forum just let me know.

I get a lot of emails daily for various web dev and programming positions available. I found a good job, but I keep my resume up. Ya never know.

Just feel guilty constantly deleting them when I know someone may need them. Figured I'd at least post them for any coder friends that may be looking for something. I lj-cut it so it wouldn't be too obtrusive.

If these are just found to be crap, let me know and I'll stop passing them on. But some of them at least appear to have potential. They're all fresh over the past 24 hours.

To whoever is currently looking, hope these help! If it's ok, I'll send periodic digests of these if anyone finds them worthwhile.

Microsoft released a new Media Player plugin for Firefox. The WMP version 11 plugin is for Windows XP and Vista (last download on the linked page) only, but if you must view WMV video; at least the plug-in is less likely to crash Firefox. And yes, I'm told the plug-in works in the suite as well, but since I run Linux; I cannot verify this assertion.

First you must know that the DSL modem from BSNL can be directly setup to connect automatically, provide firewall, DHCP and even NAT to allow multiple computers to connect to the internet. So [...]

I am being asked to configure and develop n end-to-end SNMP monitoring solution.

I have used tools to monitor syslog and SNMP from devices, but never servers.  I am not even sure where to start.

I am expected to have all of our Cisco devices, Linux servers, Windows servers and Novell servers configured and reporting to a central console that performs notifications based on the message.

Does anyone here have any good resources on configuring a server to report event, errors, logs, etc via snmp?

Thanks in advance.
