Leopard

I was provided with a copy of Leopard (thanks Sjon) so that I can try what it can do.

Installation - really smooth. no more that 3 next clicks. I did not watch for installation time. But I guess it took around an hour on my Mac Mini G4 1.42MHz

Desktop - really nice. Eyez candy all around. But it seems more dark to me than Tiger.

Spaces - really appreciate this feature. I've missed it since I switched from Linux to OS X

Stacks - looks nice. Did not have much time to use it so far

Quick look - that's something. Really love it.

Finder - looks better, improved. did not test it much yet.

Time Machine - don't have spare external HDD to be able to try it.

Performance - it's more memory hungry. I suppose because of all these eye candy stuff. But it's quite speedy. So far I did not experienced any big performance issue.

It's really nice unfortunatelly I don't have money for it in our budget. I'll have to stick with Tiger because I don't want to steal software. May be someday next year.

prtconf #prints some basic info about your machine
lsdev -CH #lists all customized devices
lsvg #lists all volume groups
lsvg rootvg #lists info about rootvg
lsps -a #lists all paging spaces
lspv #lists all physical volumes
bootlist -om normal #lists bootlist for normal mode of booting

Can be useful to store before some big change on your AIX server (TL ML upgrade, etc.)

AIX: odmget examples


odmget -q"name=hdisk0" CuDv # get ODM object in the CuDv that describes hdisk0 disk device

odmget -q"name=hdisk0 and attribute=pvid" CuAt # get ODM object that stores the PVID

odmget -q"value3=hdisk0" CuDvDr # get major,minor number of special file for hdisk0

odmget -q"name=rootvg" CuDep # query ODM class to identify all LVs that belong to rootvg

odmget -q"parent=rootvg" CuDv # the same as previous command

Can be usefull when troubleshooting LVM related problems

To reach autumn beauty

To reach autumn beauty, originally uploaded by miromir.

We have had to pass this little stream because of autumn beauty waiting for un on the other side.

It was not that hard after all but I was not very happy when I was asked to do it.

So when we passed we had to climb the hill to reach the meadows on the next shots.
