lwio watch: Week 7 ending February 28, 2009
In the course of building a new software system, there are these inflection points when everything comes together. Last week was one such inflection point. Here are the highlights
- Windows explorer, dir, Acrobat reader, thumbnails views on explorer all work
- copying files, deleting files, drag and drop, xcopies are all smooth and seamless
- Word now works – we can click on a Word document on a share and we can open the document and edit it
- Multiple connections and multiple large file downloads work smoothly
- We’ve set up an internal file server that hosts over half a terrabyte of data (with full iso OS images and VMs) and are using this as our internal dog food server.
- The MMC share management snapin and wizard works smoothly; we can point MMC at our Linux server create, delete and manage shares on the server.
- The installation is very simple. There is next to nothing to configure and setup. Install the bits and you have a file server available.
The month of March promises to be very interesting for us. I’ll write another post on what we plan on accomplishing by end of March.
Thanks for reading
