I have uploaded a replacement wvdial.conf for the cellular entry below. Notice that for Cellcom in Israel, you need an init string AT+CGDCONT=1,”IP”,”internetg” . which is embedded into the file. For other cellular providers, you might need a different string. For Cellcom users out there – this is the right init string. If you are on…

My initial thought was to setup NetworkManager as the dial-up component. What should…

Setting up an Oracle ASM disks is rather simple, and the procedure can be easily obtained from here, for example. This is nice and pretty, and works well for most environments. EMC PowerPath creates meta devices which utilize the underlying paths, as mod_scsi sees them in Linux, without hiding them (unlike IBM’s RDAC, for example)….
I have encountered it on several cases. RedHat Linux ES, by default, uses smp kernel which is limited to eight cores, or two sockets. You find out that your multi-socket hardware, with its 16 (or more…) cores show you only the first eight, both by the simple method of running ‘top‘ and then pressing on…
