their booth was across from ours at the ABA TechShow.
Most of the services available through state or other BAs and other industry groups are not necessarily "endorsed by" those groups or likely to be better than other solutions.
I wouldn't expect an affiliation or mention of any kind to indicate anything more than something like "their sales team got here first" and perhaps "and offered us some kind of good deal".
IANAL. YMMV. Place on ground, light, retreat.:-)
Re:Clever new tools for kernel config

Linux 2.6.26 Out

After my last round of wrestling with video drivers, I'd settle for a multi-step process:
install new distro
plug in all optional hardware, devices, whatever
boot an 'inventory' kernel
mount all desired file-system types
start any unusual drivers or processes
direct 'inventory' kernel to
"detect and configure the options as needed"
for all the hardware or other configuration
sensitive stuff that is visible, mounted, etc.
manually tweak kernel config if needed
compile new kernel & any modules needed
boot to new kernel
enjoy
I'd settle for any method that lets the non-kernel-guru user focus on the few config items that might need changing, instead of facing 2900-odd CONFIG_ variables, many for obscure hardware that won't be found in most systems. Yes, the settings need to be available for people who do have that hardware, but they should not require decisions by people who do not have that hardware.
To put that in a way more Slashdot readers might remember, I'd like a tool or specialized kernel that could determine from the hardware, without having to poll the user, the appropriate settings for:
Slashdot Mirror
The unofficial responses to which are:
Which is less hot? (tourist)
Which is hotter? (local)
Which is better today? (foodie)
On the side. (wimp)
Christmas! (wiseass)
It was yellow when I went through it, officer,
and three other cars came through behind me! (local)
The question:
Red or Green? (chile, not political affiliation.)
Way to go, citizens. March on!
