Comment on 'Ajax console for your Slice!' by Jered

Unfortunately the only browsers that seem to pass control characters along to the AJAX console are Firefox and Internet Explorer.

Is there a way to enter control characters in the ajax terminal? I entered “cat > t” and can’t regain control. Soft reboot got me out but that’s not so elegant.

Thanks for the response, Jered. Sorry, I didn’t check sooner. Appreciate your input though.

We have updated the console from time to time, yes – okk thats good to know, some updates for other programs and stuff take forever to update and its frustrating…

@David… Give up and go home! They’re just giving us an update – they never said this was a BIG announcement

Thanks for the feedback on the 32-bit images.

The Systems Team have engaged a couple of the responders and I hope we can work together to produce an even better image repository.

Again, your feedback and time is appreciated.

Cheers, Paul

I was also unsure of what was meant by the CentOS/RHEL explanation, as I run numerous Xen servers that are 64-bit dom0’s with a variety of 64-bit and 32-bit CentOS domUs running the CentOS provided xen kernels.

Oh yeah… This would be awesome! Of course, the thread is a bit old, so I imagine it’s not exactly alive… Perhaps reviving it would be in order?

The explanation for centos/fedora images is a bit unclear to me. I work on the fedora project and our infrastructure team uses 64bit xen and kvm hosts to run 32bit fedora and centos/rhel images… If you’d like to talk about it a bit – let me know – or come by #fedora-admin on freenode.

Why not just offer pure 32-bit without munging the setup needlessly? Xen supports running 32-bit Dom-U’s assuming your underlying hardware supports it, which I’d be surprised to find out if the majority of slicehost’s hardware doesn’t support this, I know that of the four slices I work with, half have processors which would support full 32-bit domU’s even with an underlying 64-bit dom0.

Not that I really have any need for a 32-bit slice, just curious as to the reasoning behind this approach.

Another supposed great announcement that has no benefit to my slices.

A step in the right direction. Once pure 32 bit images are offered, I will surely be back to slicehost due to the great customer service experience I have had in the past.
