  5. Re:Lots of Confused People on Lose Weight The Slow, Boring Way · · Score: 1

    I've to agree with all of the above, the only thing I've to add is if you want to lift weights (even if you are not intrested in body building) you should get Insider's Tell-All Handbook on Weight-Training Technique as a companinon to the above mentioned book. It's by the same author. The best part about it is, that it explains the excersies in a lot of detail and it will teach you how to lift weights in a safe way prevent you from getting any injuries.

  6. Re:SysV vs BSD-style /etc/rc.d on Interview w/Slackware Developer David Cantrell · · Score: 1

    As far as I know solaris 2.x (SunOS 5.x) is SysV and not BSD. And I've been working on solaris for a while now. I also disagree with you which system is better, but that's me.

    Just wanted to let you know that linux does support 64 tagged command queue (at least the sym53c8xx driver I'm using). Here's a proof (part of mine dmesg), the size of the queue is adjustible at compile time.

  9. Re:Debian Install Follow-UP on Interview: Debian Project Leader Tells All · · Score: 1

    The init scripts shouldn't have any problems with kernel 2.0.x. They check the kernel version you are currently running and take appropriate actions.

    One week ago I have installed potato which was running kernel 2.0.36.

    Also kernel 2.2.13 is in potato, so you might want to install it as well.

  10. Re:Twice as big? on Mozilla M7 - Ready for the War · · Score: 1

    The linux tarball is much bigger becasue all of the binaries and libries contain debuging information. If you want to make them smaller run strip on all the binaries and on all of the *.so (shared libs). I don't recomand running strip on *.a as it is going to break them.

  11. Re:UNIX must evolve. on Dangers of Typecasting OSes · · Score: 1

    You got the layers wrong. X windows doesn't run on top of shell, it runs on top of kernel and libs. Same with Corba, it runs on top of libs, as it can be used by CLI applications.

    Its not a flame just a correctin :)

    Here's a link to junk buster for debian, no need for RPMs and its even on the debian web site.

    And as for not finding any good information about debian did you look in the right places? Did you even bother to look at the Debian website.
