  1. Re:Windows XP personal firewall... on Bad Review for the Zaurus · · Score: 2

    I'm not sure which version of XP you're talking about... Corporate has the firewall disabled by default.

    Head over to #kde on irc.openprojects.net for the release party :)

    It's statically linked.

  4. Re:Anti-Unix site running IIS now? on Slashback: Blender, Pictures, Servitude · · Score: 1

    True, as well as "pass". That and your first two are all I got to try before being blocked earlier.

    Now I seem to have gotten a second chance. It turns out that "bill", "billg", "unixsucks", "iisrules", and "bsd" don't work either. Man, with every /.er trying to find out their vnc password, we may as well distributedly bruteforce it ;)

    According to the article, these tasks were outsourced... not good, but hopefully the same policy isn't taken with more sensitive tasks.

    Timothy probably did know about it... after all, it's "from the better-not-be-an-AF dept."

    Or, since BlackBox hasn't been developed for so long, use FluxBox, which is based off BB0.61.1 and doesn't require the use of an external keygrabber.

    I used to love BlackBox, now I love FluxBox.

    Umm.. browse any /. articles where Klerck has posted, such as this one.

    I hear it only affects IE users, and that it's supposedly fixed. I dunno.

  15. Re:This is for "Citrix like" applications. on Microsoft XP License Prohibits VNC · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but 50 Linux desktops connected to a single Windows box isn't exactly useful, unless you use 50 machines that you need to access the Windows machine from, in which case you've got other problems.

    50 people on 50 Linux machines using 50 VNC clients connected to 1 Windows VNC server does not result in 50 people remotely running their own instance of Windows apps. Instead, they'll all be sharing the same mouse/kb cursor, and the same processes.

    It would be nothing short of chaos... why does this need to be regulated again?

  23. A couple of suggestions on Swap Performance in Linux · · Score: 2

    First of all, I would recommend trying the preemptible kernel patch and even the low-latency patch. It seems like an obvious enough suggestion, but some will tell you that these patches should not be used in servers where throughput is important, and that is correct... in some cases. It has been shown, however, that in most cases the preemptible patch increases performance and throughput. I have not heard of any such testing on the low-latency patch, as I am new to it.

    In my testing, these two patches have been a big help, especially on my P166 system with 48MB RAM.

    Also, you say "faster drives" and repartitioning are not feasible ATM, but how about multiple small drives? As shown in this howto, the linux kernel has support for striping data to swap disks, just by specifying multiple swap entries in fstab.

    Then again, if you're not on SCSI, trying to stripe to the swap drives won't be much help anyway, as RAID over IDE for _speed_ usually is just crap.

    That last suggestion may not be for you, but definitely try the two patches. It should also be noted that preempt is a compile-time option, and there is also a compile-time option to control the low-latency patch through /proc/sys/kernel/lowlatency. An additional patch may be required to allow these two to work together, but I am unable to locate it currently.
