Here is a review:

It's a community version but its package selection is in the official Mandriva tool to build LiveCD ( http://wiki.mandriva.com/en/Draklive ) .

The eathlink.net is from the helo, which might be typed out by hand and not actually validated for anything. Plus, there's evidence that it's valid. He states that the email that he received was in reply to an email he sent them. If he means that they quoted his email, that means something. Secondly, The Jem Report contacted the radio station on the matter, and received a verbose reply (in the article: "The full text of the message follows:").

The original email message is posted here. The message headers are as follows:

Your Blog, which we have copied, has been turned over to our lawyers.
You should plan on a response from them shortly and a visit to
Atlanta to be present in court. I am not allowed to make any further
statement regarding this matter at this time.

s a number between 0 and 100, representing how aggressive the swap policy of the kernel is, or where is the balance between swapping applications and freeing cache.

When an application needs memory and all the RAM is fully occupied, the kernel has two ways to free some memory at its disposal: it can either reduce the disk cache in the RAM by eliminating the oldest data, or it may swap some less used pages of programs out to the swap partition on disk. It is not easy to predict which method would be more efficient. The kernel makes a choice by roughly guessing the effectiveness of the two methods at a given instant, based on the recent history of activity.

The default swappiness is 60. With a value of 100, the kernel will always prefer to find inactive pages and swap them out. With a value of 0, applications that want memory can shrink the disk cache to a tiny fraction of RAM. For laptops which would prefer to let their disk spin down, a value of 20 or less is recommended.
