Check this out. Mysqlreport is a small script intended to Make easy-to-read MySQL status reports.It has also a nice manual explaining every variable it returns. Check it out here .From yesterday I feel a little sich just like I guess I’ve catched a flu. I’m still looking for a what kind of laptop to buy.
Everybody says a different thing.
A friend of mine who sells laptop says Gigabyte is a good choice, still I’m uncertain about that.I personally like Thinkpads but unfortunately thinkpads comes with OS installed on them and also I don’t like it that IBM Thinkpads (e.g. nowhere days Lenovo Thinkpads) at least the cheaper ones come with Integrated ATI video.
I’m thinking of a Dell as a possibility but still I’min doubt which one to take … For all those who doesn’t know IBM/Lenovo has three major series of Thinkpads the “r” series “t” series from Terminator :), and the “x” series. x series thinkpads are a way smaller than “r” and “t” series. As I’ve heard from friends and other sources online “t” series are rock solid and had a titanium backing. A good thing about Thinkpads to note is that the batter life of “r” and “z” series is 3.5 h 🙂 What I can afford is to spend no more than 1600 lv. (something like 1200 USD) for a laptop. The Dell models I liked were Inspiron 1520 but unfortunately they come with integrated wifi card which is dell and has no support for Linux/BSD (I need the computer to run FBSD/linux).Ofcourse I can always use NDIS and use the windows driver under linux/BSD but this is not the ideaEND—–
