    If you use konqueror and try to see what James Tuner has written, you see nothing! The page it's completely empty! You'll have to use firefox / mozilla instead.

    And I thought in a Linuxworld you could use free software. Oups. My fault.

  14. Re:I think one.. on A Database of Patched Software? · · Score: 1

    no it doesn't. If you have one server internally in your network that grabs everything from the internet (every now and then) you can still continue the operation of your server(s), if the internet goes down.
    You just need to configure this in your /etc/make.conf file for this.

    Another question is, if you don't can get the update from somewhere, how do you know which upgrade to apply?
    In Gentoo you can supply all the upgrades on a cdrom to all of your servers, if you like.

  15. I think one.. on A Database of Patched Software? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    ...way to solve your problem is to use Gentoo.

    First run "emerge sync" and the "emerge -vp world" to see what kind of updates that would be needed on the system.

    And if you have one system that include the feature "buildpkg", the rest of your system could take the pre-compiled packages from the first system and just install it.
    (Run "emerge --usepkg -vp world")

    I'm so sorry, but I had done something wrong.

    Yep, belive it or not, it was apache that has served you the file instead of tux. Damn me. Well, now do I know that I must restart tux when I move files to a new harddrive and makeing some links too.

    Okey, it's nice to see that a pentium running at 188 Mhz can handle a slashdot load. Okey, it has 256 mb of sdram. Oh well.

    From now on, it's tux that is serving the file, so the respone should be even better.

    but building a full KDE-setup may be a bit too much for me right now...

    well it might not.

    You can take a look at my two script for this. The first one will try to get many extra packages, which kde can use if it is installed. Thisone is called prekde3.
    The next one will compile kde itself and you can get kde with differents method like: ftp, rsync and cvs. This script is called compilekde3.
