  1. Does the LiveCD write anything to the hard disk ? on Hoary Hedgehog Ubuntu 5.04 Released · · Score: 1, Interesting

    According to this blog entry by Daniel Glazman of Nvu fame, the ubuntu LiveCD destroyed his MBR Can anybody confirm/deny such behaviour by Ubuntu's LiveCD or LiveCD's in general (don't they mount hard disks read-only)

  2. Re:Also on Linux Apps On Solaris · · Score: 1

    Skype is one such binary program which comes to my mind. Maybe CrossOver office

  3. Re:opera vs firefox? on A New Look For Firefox · · Score: 1

    type about:config in the location bar if you want access to all the options. remember that firefox is designed for users not to get lost in the maze of options.

  4. Re:Firefox on Mozilla 1.7 Beta Is Faster And Smaller · · Score: 3, Informative

    How can firefox render better, it has the same rendering engine as Mozilla, are you comparing the same Mozilla version as the one which firefox is based on
    e.g, Mozilla 1.6-Firefox 0.8
    Mozilla 1.5-Firefox 0.7

    Remeber firefox will branch soon from the 1.7 release, so far a while, Mozilla (aka Seamonkey) will have rendering fixes/speedups and Firefox won't have it till it returns back to the trunk sometime after 1.0 is released

  5. Re:Firefox improved? on Mozilla 1.7 Beta Is Faster And Smaller · · Score: 3, Informative

    yes, firefox is nothing without the underlying Gecko engine. Shortly firefox will branch on the Mozilla 1.7 branch, it is very likely that Mozilla 1.8-1.9 will have much faster page rendering that Firefox 1.0. See bugzilla for the bugs targetted for 1.8alpha

  6. Re:Apache alternatives. on Apache 2.0.49 Released · · Score: 5, Informative

    One thing I really miss in thttpd is keep-alive support. I am currently kicking the tires of cherokee . It supports epoll/kqueue and also does keep-alive/pipelining. Very useful if you have to serve lots of images, it even has a nice mechanism to serve cache-friendly headers I see some issues with its gzip support but the author is quite responsive

  7. What about IE 6.0 on Dreamweaver MX, Flash MX With CrossOver Office · · Score: 1

    Any idea when IE 6.0 will be supported by CodeWeavers ?

  8. Re:Does Panther support case-sensitive journalling on Mac OS X Panther 10.3 Reviewed · · Score: 1

    Is this only in Panther Server or also in Panther ?

  9. Does Panther support case-sensitive journalling fs on Mac OS X Panther 10.3 Reviewed · · Score: 2, Interesting

    My understanding is that HFS+ is case-preserving. For people switching from Linux/BSD and used to a case=sensitive fs, are there options to get case-sensitive (you can install ufs but you'll lose journalling)

  10. Re:why would anyone buy intel? on First Benchmarks of AMD Hammer Prototype · · Score: 1

    You might wanna take a look at this 1U Quad AMD system from Angstrom Computers

    Personally, I haven't heard of any Quad CPU AMD mobo's at all

  11. Co-existance of Red-Carpet and up2date/RHN on Learn About Ximian and Gnome From Nat Friedman · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Hi, Red-Carpet seems to offer functionality similar to up2date/redhat network. However, there seems to be a very substantial lag between packages made available via Ximian's redhat channel and up2date.

    An example being (till now, RPM 4.0.4) is not available via the Redhat 7.2 channel. Is Ximian going to ever make a policy statement as to what is the maximum duration their userbase will be diverged from receiving the latest updates of their respective distributions.

    If there are specific packages which are likely not to be made available via red-carpet, can their be an official statement on this so that users are aware of the pros/cons of using multiple update mechanisms

  12. Some developer friendly features still required on mozilla.org Releases Mozilla 0.9.8 · · Score: 1

    The following bug fixes make it quite difficult to pitch Mozilla to other developers View source page bug Cookie Confirmation dialog should show all fields

  13. What if there are no updates in a month ? on Ximian Adds Subscription · · Score: 1

    I have observed that at times for a couple of weeks at stretch, Ximian had pushed out no update or release on their Gnome desktop. They also take a few days to show updated packages on the Redhat channel

    This could be due to the fact that the packaging team might have been busy with things like Evolution 1.0 release or Red-Carpet Express release

    However, when consumers are paying $9.95/month they might expect more frequent rollouts. What if there are no or very few updates in a month ?
    Do RHN users feel shortchanged for their $19.95/month when they see very few updates

  14. Re:Reasons to upgrade? on Linux Kernel 2.4.6 Released · · Score: 1

    Won't the backing out of the page_launder changes cause problems for servers with heavy IO loads ?

  15. Re:Let's make this usefull. on Building Big Sites on a Budget · · Score: 1

    Have you looked at 3Ware IDE RAID controllers. Excellent Linux/BSD support You'll find most dual mobo's have intel eepro's on them (support is okay under Linux) though you'll find many a thread under lkml where problems are attributed to eepro's. 3Com's 3C905C have support for hardware checksumming and zero-copy networking (incorporated in 2.4.4-pre6)

  16. Incorporate kqueue/kevent from FreeBSD on What Does The Future Hold For Linux? · · Score: 1

    It would be nice to have in 2.5 a kqueue/kevent interface similar to FreeBSD 4.x Maybe something like Schedular Activations
