8/26    http://kernel.org seems down and I'm unable to install git-core via
        macports. is there anything I can do to get this installed? thx
        \_ sure,  use the magic Facebook mirror
           http://mirror.facebook.com/kernel.org
           \_ amazing! thanks. that worked. so this is like the new
              and improved (tm) http://archive.org wayback machine?
           \_ amazing! thanks. that worked.
        \_ in the future, you could also try www{2,3,4}.kernel.org,
           http://www.eu.kernel.org http://www.us.kernel.org etc.

2/19    I program a lot by sshing to a Linux cluster.  So I'm used to using
        Xemacs to code.  This works fine from a Linux or Windows workstation,
        but sometimes I have to use a Mac.  On Mac, the meta is usually
        bound to option, but that often doesn't work over ssh for some reason.
        This makes using emacs a real pain.  Any suggestions on how to fix it?
        (Other than "use vi")

8/26    Amazon medium instances (3.75GB RAM): 0.160/hour = $1382/year
        Generic standard Linux VPS (4GB RAM): $480/year
        Amazon costs more (but does offer superior scaling options).
        \_ Amazon is $670 if you buy a year's usage up front (heavy util).
           Why is heavy util less expensive than light util?

1/4     I want to test how my servers behave during a disk failure and
        a RAID reconstruction so I want to simulate a hardware failure.
        How can I do this in Linux without having to physically pull
        a drive? These disks are behind a RAID card and run Linux. -ausman
        \_ According to the Linux RAID wiki, you might be able to use mdadm
           to do this with something like the following:

7/21    Can I just use ifconfig to expand my netmask on a FreeBSD box?
        Are there any gotchas here? Linux forces me to restart my network
        to expand my netmask.
        \_ yes... and no, you don't have to restart your network on linux either
           \_ Rebooting is the Ubootntoo way!
              \_ Oooboot'n'tootin!

7/22    Playing with dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/<disk> on linux and bsd:
        2 questions, on linux when <disk>==hda it always gives me this off
        by one report i.e. Records out == records in-1 and says there is an
        error. Has anyone else seen this?  Second, when trying to repeat this
        on bsd, <disk>==rwd0 now, to my surprise, using the install disk and
        selecting (S)hell, when I try to dd a 40 gig disk it says "409 records

5/26    anyone use lxde?  supposedly it is less stupid than xfce and
        less bloated than gnome.  thoughts?
        \_ lol, does anyone still use desktop linux?  Get with the times
           buy a mac.  Now.  DO IT.  Go NOW.

5/5     Does anyone know how to do custom install of Ubuntu 10.04? I can't
        even boot it up to give me the menu to custom install and it
        keeps installing a bunch of crap I don't need. It's getting
        just as slow and bloated as Winblows install. Dear lord,
        I miss the old Ubuntu.

4/22    In Linux is there an easy way to rename the scripts in /etc/rc?.d ?
        For example I want to set all the /etc/rc?.d/S91apache to S100apache
        so that it'll run the ramdisk BEFORE going to apache.
        \_ Sure, just move them.
           \_ I mean is there a script that will rename all of them
              for me? Like: setrc apache2 0 0 1 1 1 1

org The Linux Kernel Archives Welcome to the Linux Kernel Archives. This is the primary site for the Linux kernel source, but it has much more than just Linux kernels. Ume Universitet, we now have a full complement of mirror servers in Amsterdam and Ume. Huge thanks to HP for donating two additional DL585 G5's for this effort, and huge thanks to ISC and UMU for volunteering to host our servers! We hope to have Geo- or BGP-based IP directing in the future, and hope to soon provide additional services in Europe. Huge thanks to HP for donating two additional DL380 G5's for this effort, and huge thanks to ISC and UMU for volunteering to host our servers! These servers are dual quad-core Xeon E5335 servers with 16 GB RAM per server, and 15000 RPM SAS disks. These servers have replaced the old servers for all local-contents services (www, ftp, and rsync); org possible over the years, our sponsors, staff volunteers and of course the Linux community for making it a worthwhile effort in the first place! This concludes the maintenance window that started earlier this week. The hope is that these changes will lower the loads experienced by the machines. Thanks for bearing with us the last couple of days - we know things were slow but we beat our expected restore date by 3 days (syncing 24TB of data across the internet is something we had previously experienced taking a week). almost destroyed in shipping, but amazingly worked without issue on the first boot, and was serving the production git needs in less than 12 hours. Kudos to both OSUOSL for getting the machine up as quickly as they did and to Hewlett Packard for building a machine that can take the beating of an unnamed shipping company and keep on ticking. Massive thanks to ISC and all of its sponsors for all the bandwidth we have eaten up over the years! We'll continue to keep your wires warm for as long as you'll let us! The Linux Kernel Archives Mirror System To improve access for everyone, a number of sites around the world have provided mirrors of this site, which may be faster to use than the master archive itself. It has all the features you would expect in a modern fully-fledged Unix, including true multitasking, virtual memory, shared libraries, demand loading, shared copy-on-write executables, proper memory management, and multistack networking including IPv4 and IPv6. If you're new to Linux, you don't want to download the kernel, which is just a component in a working Linux system. Instead, you want what is called a distribution of Linux, which is a complete Linux system. There are numerous distributions available for download on the Internet as well as for purchase from various vendors; some are general-purpose, and some are optimized for specific uses.
