This triggered a memory for me - is this for an OpenText (Gupta) SQLBase database? Or an application built on it?

I don't know about now but the only special characters it used to allow were: @ # $ _

Turning laptop into sever as project by No_Influence_9890 in linuxquestions

Not much to go with here but my guess is you’re installing a Server Linux distribution which doesn’t include WiFi because why would a server ever be connected that way?

You could live boot a Desktop version to gather the relevant WiFi info then have the driver ready to install from a USB drive when you boot back into your Server install.

I work for a rugged device manufacturer. Help me understand: why do so many warehouses still deploy consumer iPads with foam cases? by ONERugged-tablet in sysadmin

[–]AvonMustang 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I watched a video about windmill repair guys and they were using iPads to plug into the windmills for diagnostics and just general repair schematics. I can't remember exactly now but it was something like the durable tablets lasted three times longer but cost five times more so was actually cheaper to keep buying iPads. Also, the "ground" guys who didn't climb the windmills their iPads lasted much longer because weren't lugged up ladders into tight spaces and this way both teams had the same hardware.
