How many operating systems do we need?

Posted on December 6th, 2007 in Bits 'n' Bobs by declanshanaghy

We are currently running Fedora 7, RHEL 3 and CentOS 3 on our network here in 350 Nice. We really need to get things inline on a single OS. This will greatly simplify clustering and maintenance of the servers to provide High Availability (HA) of FaxIt Nice services.

Office Document Conversion Revitalized

Posted on December 6th, 2007 in FaxIt Nice by declanshanaghy

I just found a cool new document conversion library based on OpenOffice.org. As you may know OpenOffice.org is the foundation of our office document conversion system in FaxIt Nice. We’ve been using legacy OpenOffice.org 1.3 for a long time now. It’s reliable but dated. No support for WordPerfect and ODT. This new framework will allow us to upgrade to OpenOffice.org 2.3. Wahooooo!!
