  1. Re:Can't use Windows by Soruk · · Score: 1 · on VMware's Ultimate Virtual Appliance Challenge

    I recently rebuilt the entire Mail Me Anywhere platform as a virtual appliance system. Under QEMU :)

    Entirely built of free software or my own code (it uses MailStripper as its backend) but due to the nature of both the appliance isn't distributable...

    There's another at http://www.eridani.co.uk/spamscan/

    I know exactly what you mean. This picture was a fortunate accident - I'd even taken a wrong turning and wasn't even planning on going down the road where I saw this.

  4. Re:Haven't noticed any on my end by Soruk · · Score: 1 · on Red Hat Linux 7 Infested With Bugs
    As for RH 7.0's bugginess, I'm rather apalled. I may switch distributions over this. At least I have a choice.

    I'm the maintainer of Eridani Linux (based on Red Hat, but includes all updates and some extras) but looking at this lot and other reviews Eridani Linux 7 will be some distance away and an intermediate release will appear. (Being a one-geek operation it's not going to diverge away like Mandrake did.)

    What's the point, you might ask. Eridani Linux's market is primarily the UK, where our phone calls are metered (and the unmetered offerings suck). By rolling the updates into the CDs the end users are spared a lot of downloading getting the security fixes (especially after the release has been out for a while!).

    Apologies if this looks like a blatant plug. It isn't meant that way.... ;)

    I can't understand why we are pushing for faster clock speeds!

    One word: SETI@home.

  6. Re:Bad bz2 file ? by Soruk · · Score: 1 · on Linux 2.2.17 Released
    I've downloaded the .bz2 file from the master FTP site, and it verifies OK with bzip2 -t.

    I've put it online at ftp://arcturus.eridani .co.uk/pub/kernel/linux-2.2.17.tar.bz2
