As part of the Django 1.2 release process, tonight we've released Django 1.2 beta 1, a preview/testing package that gives a little taste of some of the new features coming in Django 1.2.

Da Acquadro.it, leggiamo questo suggerimento su come trasferire le email da Outlook al vostro Mac:
Nel mio recente passaggio a MacOsX, uno dei problemi che ho dovuto risolvere è stato il trasferimento delle email dal vecchio PC ( Outlook Express su WinXp) a Mail di Apple. Ho installato un mail server sul PC (hMailServer),creato un account e trasferito dal O.E le email via IMAP in windows.

CMS Market is still facing PHP simplicity versus huge software house products.
Druapl & Wordpress are good. Drupal is an ace if you are very dynamic needs. For instance, multi-language sites, forums, polls and so on are a snap to install. But if usability is a concern, choose wordpress. joomla/Mambo are not so good in my own opinion, but I’d like to her a comment from you.

After working with unix for years, we noticed it is difficult to get a very uniform approach to unix management.
Often different Linux distributions share very little, configuration is different every time. Worst, some good unix tools (like cron, syslog, etc) can be used in a distributed environment, but are very difficult to configure, very user unfriendly and so on.

One day, we have the need to create a fast cluster of linux machine, specialized and easy to segragate in different networks (for better security). We need web servers, integration servers (running java hudson), huge developer machines (running for instance eclispe) and so on.
It was not easy to find a good environment. This research lead us also to consider a very huge set of different and complex management software. In this series of article, we will show what we discovered.
Or final goal is to have a way to define a set of linux virutal machines, connect them and manage all using open source software. We also want tools easy to understand. We do not want super-optimized stuff, we have the “just it works well” approach.
We thinked about these types of virtual machine: super light LAMP servers, medim sized java tomcat servers (or udson servers), big database machines and super big development machines.
