  1. Re:Is there a ChangeLog around? by rpete · · Score: 1 · on Linux 2.2.11 Released

    It's usually a day or two late in reporting, but you can see a summary of the changes at the Cutting Edge Change Listing

  2. Re:Enough already!!! by Ray+Dassen · · Score: 2 · on Stormix:Yet Another Distribution
    How many distros are there now?

    Lots

    We will never defeat Microsoft unless we all pull together and focus our energy!

    The Microsoft == the Borg analogy is used quit often, but many people fail to look at it thoroughly. The Borg are defeated by individuals, not by another collective. Individuals differ, compete and cooperate with each other. Neither pure competition, nor pure cooperation seem to be the best strategies, evolutionarywise.

  3. Re:What was the point? by Matthew+Weigel · · Score: 1 · on Feature:The Empire Strikes Back
    1. Elitism. While Slashdot is not uniformly as technical as some of the readers (Alan Cox, Tom Christiansen, and Bruce Perens all read Slashdot and I won't claim to be as skilled or as knowledgable as them :), it seems oriented towards a more technical audience. It has not, in the past, been a forum for informing people not already interested in the material it covers. It has also not, in the past, been a place as technically inclined as Freshmeat.
    2. As for Jon's ability to get to the root of complex problems, I sometimes disagree. He has a knack for simplifying complex issues, but I don't always feel that he simplifies them accurately; he has and seemingly always has had an agenda behind his writing, and it appears to influence his writing. Whether I disagree or agree with the apparent agenda is a non-issue; in fact I agree and disagree about evenly.
    3. Slashdot, in the past, has not catered to people trying to learn what the Internet is. It has largely catered to people around the same level technically as Rob Malda, and the other editors have influenced this. However, it feels like Jon Katz' contributions are a good bit afield of the others'.
    There is a place for teaching people more; embracing the analog world, as you said. And there is a place for people, fully comfortable with the digital world, to sit down, BS, and be comfortable without trying to explain every second word. For the former, Linux.org and Linux.com and a host of other sites of varying repute and quality exist. For the latter, it seems that KernelNotes, Freshmeat, and Slashdot are the only general sites.

    Why is it so unreasonable that Slashdot not be all things to all people?
  4. Did _not_ use latest Linux... by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 0 · on C't NT vs Linux benchmarks : Linux wins
    The latest 2.2.x (stable) Linux kernel release is 2.2.10 (see www.kernelnotes.org), and for the brave there is the development kernel version 2.3.8...

    So, 2.2.9 s not the latest and geatest Linux version...

  5. Re:Newbie question: Where do you get kernel info? by herbman · · Score: 2 · on Linux 2.2.10

    the site formerly known as linuxhq would do you fine.

    the site address is www.kernelnotes.org

    I guess edge.kernelnotes.org will have the changes listed pretty soon.

  7. LinuxHQ by Gleef · · Score: 2 · on Linux 2.2 DoS Attack

    LinuxHQ is having DNS problems (the owner of the name took it back). The maintainer (Jim Pick) had just enough warning to preemptively get another DNS name (kernelnotes.org). Therefore, the LinuxHQ site is currently up and happily running at http://kernelnotes.org. If you want more info, check out the announcement.

  9. Block all at Firewall and use ProxyIP by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 3 · on Ask Slashdot: Securing Web Servers Against Cracking
    Use Linux IP Port Forwarding on your HTTP ports from the firewall to the servers. The servers will have different IP addresses and attacks will have trouble getting out of the server, particularly if they are non-Internet IP addresses.

    Also put the Deception Tool Kit on an old machine, preferably in a DMZ, and let the script kiddies think you're running a single machine and that it behaves differently than it really does. They have time to waste, so let them waste more time.

  10. New linuxhq.org up by dananderson · · Score: 1 · on LinuxHQ.com Renamed to kernelnotes.org

    I just noticed a new skelecton

    http://www.linuxhq.org/

    up. It looks unrelated to the LinuxHQ we're used to.
    And I can't reach the
    new

    now.
