  1. Re:Openfiler is what you want. on OSS Web-based File Management? · · Score: 1

    There is a pretty large difference between "works with" and "supported on". If you look through the forums and such you'll see that it works on FC2 too.

  2. Re:Openfiler is what you want. on OSS Web-based File Management? · · Score: 1

    Why? CentOS is just RHES recompiled from SRPM. I'm sure it'll work fine on any RH/FC based distro.

  3. Re:sourceforge group on Enlightenment Lives · · Score: 4, Informative

    Yes, back when we hacked up SF, Raster and Mandrake were just down the hall, so E became one of the first projects. IIRC mainly because at the time they were hosted on openprojects which was broken/down.

  4. Re:Big 17 inch, too? on Recommendations For A Good Laptop Bag? · · Score: 1

    Check out the Jansport PC port. I was in the same boat as you are. The Jansport was the best comfort / space / price I was able to find for my 17" Powerbook.

    Even with the Powerbook, and all associated cables and other bits, I still have plenty of room for books, papers, and other stuff.

  5. Jansport PC Port on Recommendations For A Good Laptop Bag? · · Score: 1

    I recently picked up a Jansport PC Port. It's a backpack bag and has plenty of padding for the laptop. It has these neat "Airlift" shoulder straps that actually help with weight alot. It was also one of the few laptop bags I was able to find that would hold my 17" Powerbook.

  6. Re:Read the bible on Theory-Affirming Evidence About the Universe · · Score: 1

    As a matter of fact, The Discovery Channel just ran a show that talks about a lot of this and includes 2 different recent discoveries of fossils from our evolutionary past. I believe the show was called "Our Earliest Ancestors" or something like that.

  7. Re:Then get your OSX virtual desktops, already!! on Mac OS X Switcher Stories · · Score: 1

    Accually you can switch the capslock and control keys you just have to edit a XML file.

  8. Serial Console (BIOS Redirection) on Cheap KVM Over IP? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Many newer motherboards support BIOS redirection over the serial port. All of my systems (intel 440gx) supports this. It allows full remote BIOS configuration, etc. Used in conjuction with linux's serial console and sysrq over serial I find the solution works quite well.

  9. Re:finally it pays off! on Gaming on the IMAX · · Score: 1

    No doubt! I finally don't feel quite as bad getting screwed outta 2k a month..

  10. Re:It is all about themes ... on Sun Drops Sawfish for Metacity · · Score: 1

    The Crux theme is already in the default distro of Metacity.

    No it's still there.. we reorganized somethings to better differentiate the code from the website.

  14. Yes, yes, yes.. on On the Definition of a Hostile Network Connection? · · Score: 1

    I run download.sourceforge.net, which consists of 3 FTP servers. We host sites like ftp.debian.org, ftp.yellowdoglinux.com, and others.. needless to say we get one of these email about every day or so.. I simply point out the flaws in their logic and usually they're pretty good about accepting blame.

    As annoying as it's something that isn't going to change.. people just install snort or something and see random connections.. they don't understand how protocols like ftp and ident and such work..

  15. Re:Loadbalancing large websites on Google Doubles Server Farm · · Score: 5

    We have been using LVS on SourceForge, Linux.com and Themes.org and I nothing but good things to say about it. I have yet to have any real problems. We have 2 firewalls with automagic failover using heartbeat. We also use keepalived to automagically remove webservers from the queue if they go down.. all in all it's been a great piece of software.

  16. Re:Slashdot desperation? on FSF Award to Brian Paul & Get The Stream · · Score: 1

    Accually it's currently hosted on the SourceForge projects infastructure. Which is 5 web/ftp servers and a 100Mbit Drop from exodus west.

  17. Re:Sourceforge is SLOW on Open Source Databases Revisited · · Score: 1

    This is something we know about and that we're fixing. Look for a big boost in a couple weeks.

  18. Re:BDB tables? on Open Source Databases Revisited · · Score: 1

    Being the guy that setup MySQL on that box I can tell you that we have BDB support compiled into our MySQL, but the tables are still MyISM. Basically Tim wanted to test out the MySQL transaction stuff so I compiled it in..

  19. Re:ReiserFS is just fine by me on Merits Of The Different Journaling Filesystems? · · Score: 1

    We accually use both reiserfs and ext3 in production on sourceforge. Both work equally well. It's all a matter of what you want.. when migrating servers that have been up and running for month I use ext3 because it's a simple remount, but when building new servers that have a need for speed and/or lots of small files (ie CVS) I use reiserfs..

  20. Re:Dirty words on Yggdrasil ships Linux Open Source DVD · · Score: 3

    Accually part of sourceforge is a huge archive of everything that's ever been released on sourceforge, we also mirror about every major open source repository also. You can check it out at download.sourceforge.net

  21. MySQL and /tmp as a RAM disk on Other Uses For The Linux RAM Disk? · · Score: 1

    While testing the databases for SourceForge we found that by mounting /tmp as a ram disk we saw about a 10-20% performace boost.. works great.

  22. Re:Slack? on Tidings From Swagland: An LWCE Wrap-Up · · Score: 1

    No.. what that's the insert into the LWCE Badge. The BSDi folks did that last year also. This year the BSD logo was even on the back of the badges.

    Because he isn't in town for the show. I would assume that if he was Larry would have introduced him.b

  25. Re:Is VA really committed to the community? on Kurt Gray on Andover, VA Linux, and LinuxWorld · · Score: 1

    Accually the writer got this part wrong a bit. Larry introduced Tony Guntharp from SourceForge, Trae McCombs from linux.com, Greg Sanders from themes.org, and Rob Malda from here. Then it was Trae who hugged Larry, not Tony.
