This could be some effordt to make some performance maps for the internet. There were quite a few academic projects that tracerouted quite a lot hosts, to get some performance data.
In fact I am writing my master thesis about something similar right now, but active network probes (like traceroute) consume too much bandwith to be usefull in performance monitoring...
A strange Thing is, that they only traceroute from their hosts. IIRC I read some paper (about 2-3 years old) that stated that they used about 120 public traceroute servers...
the promise PDC20262 driver crashes all the way from test1 to -ac 22... I did send in multiple reports.. but noone seems to be interested. And no.. harware is ok, checked it with 3 different adapters, 3 maiboards, and 6 hardrives. All hang at boot:(( so... no 2.4 for me:(
Check your internet explorer to delete the temporary internet files after closing it. Whithout this option enabled IE uses min. 1% of local hd (that can be awfull much) as cache, and puts it into %systemdir%\profiles\user\temporary internet files\
no need to say, that with that profiles get HUGE HUGE HUGE... (> 60 mb is normal;)
Enable that one, and profiles are down to 10 mb...;)
There was a similar discussion on slashdot not long ago (I think it was about the new intel mobile ones), where someone posted the actual power consumption of the componets.
IIRC the CPU was eating quite a big chunk, but the other parts (backlight/HD/io chips) eat not much less, and accumulated they are much more than the CPU. Samba Information HQ
There was some discussion about this today on the gnome-kde mailinglist. They say its an serious effort, but in order to succeed it needs MUCH work, and that is unlikely to happen soon.

This WOULD be an ideal case for mobile agents... but I seriously doubt that they use such technology..
(for those who are not that familliar: mobile agents are programms that "hop" from server to server, and perform their tasks at the current location. It would be ideal for distributed indexing / spidering / checking whatever, unfortunately there is not much infrastructure around, that allows execution of foreigen java programms....;)
Thats very true. In the german research-network (DFN) the transatlantic links are MUCH faster than the inter-ISP links. IIRC the DFN has 90 MBIT to the german ISP-exchange point DE-CIX, but a 4x 155 Mbps + 2 x 44Mbps + 1 x 60Mbps transatlantic link.
That leads to strange situations, that slashdots loads MUCH faster than my own site at a german ISP...;(
Even download transfer rates are MUCH faster. I get about 200-250 k/sec to redhat.com, but only about 50 k/sec to other german providers...
Well.. I had some similar problems. One thing is, that the HPT366 has some "problems". I put a promise card into my bp6, then everything worked fine. But when I changed the mainboard to a "normal" asus BX with a P2 on it, kernel hangs on boot. The only way to make it work is to put all IDE drives as master (ok.. that requires a 2nd promise card...;) (and yes.. I mailed the IDE maintainer about it)
Well.. the moral is.. DON'T use IDE ulra66(100)/raid at the moment.. it is just TOO unstable to use.
You don't need a new distribuiton. But running NOTHING in X beside the game (that includes windowmanager, xload, etc) can help the performance quite a lot with xfree 3.3.x and openGL.
The reason for this has something to do with X11 generating interrupts or so, look for the GLX-Pages for more Info.
We are currently using a MLR 16 GB tape for our backups, it takes about 2 hours per Tape, so if you include compression, you have abt. 10gb/hr.
Now. We have to backup 60 gb of data -> takes about 6 hours ! (That means, if server fails, it takes >> 6 hours to get it working again)
So... we thought of another sollution, as IDE hd is dirt cheap, get 4x40 gb, put then into a BP6 with 4 IDE controllers, use SW raid, and use rsync to mirror our server... When server goes down, we got instant backup, if 1 hd fails, it can be replaced without major fuss (backup server downtime is not THAT critical)
So.. you get a perfect backup sollution for about 2000 us$..:)

and look at those m4 files.
You don't need to edit a
use MAILER(cyrus)
Thats it !
I think sendmail is quite EASY to configure
(and its still FAR more configurable than qmail or postfix
is SMTP AUTH .. it rocks my world ! :)
... with SMTP AUTH you can "login" to an smpt server to permit relaying. This feature is a MUST for most ISP's !
:)
.. NO other competitor (qmail,exim, etc...) has it ... GO SENDMAIL GO !
for those who don't know
It uses the cyrus SASL library, so if the client supports it, it can handle nearly any authentication method, from Kerberos to CRAM-MD5
There is even a patch (or allready included in sasl) so that OutlookExpress (which uses an VERY OLD SMTP LGOIN command) can use SMTP auth !
I'm still using one of betas for exact this functionality

Michael
I can't agree more ...

I am thinking about purchasing some good X-server for win32, so that you have the best of both worlds. (I have some small linux router/server)
I could run every X on the server and still have the vast choice of programs on the win32 platform. (esp. Games
