How many Vista users out there? I know many people don't like it, but I haven't had many problems with it ... I'm running Vista Ultimate on one laptop, and Mac OSX on another.

Anyways, one of my main complaints about Vista is that it tries to estimate the time to copy files prior to even starting the process... we all know that Microsoft cannot estimate that time by any means, so waiting five or ten minutes prior to even starting the process is not a great idea...

What can you do about it? Disable it ... lol, try at least.... The best solution I found that to install this program call Teracopy, a free-ware software that replaces your XP/Vista built-in copying engine to deliver faster results... and it does! In addition it has a couple of additional perks such as pause, resume, and error recovery. This is my new must-have program for Vista users.

Anyone successfully deployed CF8 with jBoss? I spent part of the weekend trying a few installs, but I couldn't get even near... note that I'm a Windows guy, I don't even know where to start with Linux ... so I downloaded a Centos 5 VM image, ready to go ... I cheated and installed the GUI (yum groupinstall "X Window" "GNOME Desktop Environment" ... of course, it's because I was running a local development VM, not a production environment .... so performance is not that critical... after that, I installed mySQL, PostgreSQL, Java SDK 5.0.... everything went through smoothly ... Then jboss.... how the heck do you install that? I found on some blogs that people installed it on FC4 and FC5 with "yum install jboss4-all", but that didn't fly with Centos ... I'm not sure if it's because I need to change the servers there yum points to... so I downloaded the files from the jboss.org site... initially I downloaded the latest build, or perhaps, the latest source file, just to find out I have no idea what to do with it ... so I downloaded a previous build JAR installer... ditto, couldn't run it with Java ... ok, so I downloaded a tar.gz... The office site says that it requires no install, just go to the bin folder and execute run.sh ... but that through like 1000 errors... ok, so I gave up on Centos.
I downloaded j2easy, which is a pre-build FC5, Apache, mySQL, PostGre, Jboss4, mod_proxy, ready to rock ... and indeed, it ran fine, but once again I had no idea how to continue from there... I got the cf8-lin.bin file from Adobe .... and .....

I give up... so much for trying to go linux, maybe next month ... I'm sticking with Windows, JRun, and CF8 multi-server deployment. The entire idea was to try to go open source stack, but I can do that with the db alone to save some money ... Linux with PostgreSQL Vs. Windows with SQL Server 2005... that I have running w/o a problem.

Anyone out there can shed the light on a xNis jBoss CF8 install?
