Regarding the bad performance of ext3 on directories, is this feasible?:
Since every directory has two entries in it ("." and ".."), that is three times the number of directory entry creations/deletions that need to be journaled. Perhaps the other journaling FSs have some optimization for handling "." and "..".
Actually, the Multi-OS combo would probably not make much difference. Compared to the (architecture agnostic) game data, the OS-specific game binaries are usually tiny. That is why "hybrid" CDs are so common (probably more common than separate versions, nowadays), and why you can use any Quake 3 CD to install on any supported OS. The "update" contains everything but one huge game-data file.
I doubt that has any relationship to spam patterns. Do you really think spams are written and sent by hand? I think it is more likely that they are generated en masse by scripts. CPUs don't really care what day it is.
It seems to me that all of those results deal with how to go from 6.0 back to 5. Not very helpful for someone who wants to eliminate the program completely.
You waited three minutes before commenting that no one was responding? In an article that didn't make the front page? Isn't that a little premature? REmember, most of the First-Posting Karma Whores only pay attention to stories that make the front page. More mods read them.
All because of one man's experience.

Linux Hits the Road

I'd say it was good for everyone that the lecturer who happened to have the know-how to make this system was more experienced with Linux than Windows. Otherwise, they would have an expensive, buggy VB implementation, we wouldn't have another Linux success story, and every car in Austrailia would be driving over potholes that made security holes look like nothing!
$200 million is a decently sized chunk of money, but I would have preferred to see more enforcement fo the federal anti-trust judgement and settlement. I think that would have done a lot more for a lot more consumers than paying $5-12 to a bunch of people in Florida.
freenet still isint there yet, but feel free to tell us when.
This is just the attitude that is delaying the adoption of many new technologies (IPv6, for one). "Early adopter, what's that? Just tell me when it's done!" How do you expect it to "get there" if no one uses it? Take a chance. You might be pleasantly surprised.
Loki Setup is now maintained by icculus.org. However, I think that any good package scheme (read: RPM, DEB, Portage, or whatever) is better than this if the administrative tools are good.
Stanford has something called SULinux. It is a modified version of Red Hat with APT, libsafe, different default firewall rules, and some programs preconfigured for Stanford's setup (kerberos, afs, etc.).

What patents still exist that cover Unix? Don't they expire after 17 years? I don't think patents filed for "time sharing systems" or "virtual memory" in the seventies are still applicable. Besides, if this is valid, why are they not also suing everyone else? I know Sun licensed the Unix code to make Solaris, but did they license patent rights as well? What about FreeBSD? GAAHHH! How can SCO even claim that this nonsense is valid?
And now that people are using it for illegal purposes, what do think about it? Do you intend to do anything about it?
Is this possible?

How could you prevent people from modifying the library to let them use other people's keys? What would stop people from pirating the keys at easily as the music?
I remember when 8.0 came out, it was days before I could find a mirror that didn't already have too many users connected. I think it is a great idea to use p2p to to distribute it.
Logwatch is a pretty decent system. I comes with Red Hat (and probably other distributions as well) and mails you a summary of the system log. The main thing I use it for is to keep track of what IPs are connecting to which services how many times.

Does anyone know what the notation "11281+1" means?

Correct, but a lot of the information is relevant to desktops as well. Probably not cross-compiling, though. ;-)
When Edward Norton starts the timer, you can clearly see Linux and bash.
Watch for botched HTML tags.
That should have read:
Machine b (via ssh session):
# nc machinea 1234 < file_to_send

I've found Red Hat 9 most impressive.
The included version of Wine
From the Red Hat 9 Release Notes:
The following packages have been removed from Red Hat Linux 9:
- wine - Developer resource constraints
Or even half an hour getting Moz-Frirebird
Half an hour? You spoiled, dual 3GHz-running... guy! Seriously, it's more like 4-5 for me.
