Probably true enough that OpenGL is the way for a while.
Now that there is a set of instructions, perhaps they will be widely adopted and drive some sort of hardware accelerated video card with Cairo support. Not very easy for me to predict. Probably not likely.
Still glad to see Xr / Cairo... And that penguin is very happy.
btw-I love OpenGL, and think of it as legos for my monitor. I am very glad developers and video card manufacturers have done what they have with OpenGL. I dual boot my Radeon 9700 equipped PC - XP for games or 2.4.20-8 for most everthing else for that very reason.

Stuffed on the finest of herring no doubt!
Great news on the arrival of rasterized graphics output for Xfree86. That should allow for some superb gaming, visual modeling, and graphic apps for Linux.
XrStroke is sure to be a popular command... maybe that explains the contented look... randy penguin!
If you are lost with these references, you might enjoy "Why a penguin?" and "linux" together as a google search.
My thought is, has it really been "ethernet" all the times it is just an ethernet frame (ethernet_ii, 802.3, snap, whatever) without CSMA/CD, or do you need a half duplex shared net with collisions for "real" ethernet?
I have not seen so much excitement about 64-bit since IBM released their 64-bit OS/400 operating system for the AS/400. SPARC, MIPS, and PA-RISC got much less fanfare.
Now with AMD bringing it mainstream, I feel ready to whip up a 64-bit compiler to make use of the Opteron instrucion set, recompile 2.4.22 for 64-bit, and recompile a bunch of apps.
I think I'll start with a DVD recorder...:)
Oh yeah, I can barely keep up with what I'm doing now. Anyone else up for some assembler to get the compiler done?
btw - anyone remember how many cycles a Zilog Z80 needed to get that big a number through?
I presently use this combination for many customers, and will continue to do so.
Postfix is much easier to deal with than sendmail. The configuration file "main.cf" is long but well documented, and it is often the only file you need to muck with.
Add Webmin and you can leave the system in the hands of a local admin without much training.
A real time operating system is of great use in robotics.
I am actively working toward the completion of several autonomous
systems.
RTEMS (by OAR) is available as well
as RTLinux (by FSMLabs) for those
interested in developing robotics software using GPL. Big boys buy
vxWorks or something from WindRiver
(Asimo by Honda).
You said that bandwidth spikes now when 30000 users need a few meg file. Do they all need the same file? If so, can you send it via multicast instead of unicast? That way will save you to the point of (n*30000 - n*1) bandwidth right now...
and you could ignore the hassle of my previous post...
btw-just gotta ignore others negative comments, this was a fine place to post your query...
Start with a best guess for amount of bandwidth based on number of users and type of usage. Then monitor and adjust. If you pay for uneeded bandwidth you may be losing money. If underestimate bandwith needs and lose business, you may lose money...
Some things to consider checking into:
Use SNMP and RMON to manage and monitor your wide area connections. You will be able to do trending on your traffic to see what percentage of used is used during any predetermined interval. Free tools like MRTG are a great place to start.
Good network hardware, maybe most specifically your edge router(s) and firewall(s), that allows you to configure some sort of priority queuing or traffic shaping. Cisco's QOS features in its IOS based routers are known to be particularly strong.
A service or dedicated person to make sense of the traffic reports. It is an ongoing process.
You will also likely want to consider measuring "latency" as well as bandwidth consumption.
Also note that during a one minute average, 50% use can be 30 seconds of 100% and 30 seconds of 0%. Be aware that many of the bandwidth utilization numbers that are reported can be averages. You will want to look for peaks as well.

I like faster too.

Very nice, Letmeoutada. Much more elegant than my solution would have been. Very nice.
P.S. - I want out too.
Snip, snip, no electrons for sensor power supply.
No report, no fine.
Or maybe just pull a fuse or relay.
Or maybe Lucas (of MG & old Jaguar electrical fame) will be producing the system, so it will stop functioning by itself very quickly...
btw-car fans, I as well believe Jag and MG had many redeeming values... just not the elecrical system.

Add Usermin and basic webmail is painless.
Try it, you might like it.
You do not need solar power, windmills, generators, or massive UPS/battery. They are all bad and ineffective. Like Linux. Bad and ineffective. Evil.
You need big monopoly elecrical power and utility computing from Bill G. This is good. Reliable. Supportable.
Really?
Read, learn, and think for yourselves.
No one is to blame except ourselves in a democracy.

you can use more than 10%, it just might hurt search google for positronic stimulation or maybe just search your mind...

Amiga 1000 at 1000MHz(aka 1GHz)... how many liters of water (better use aqua) does that take?

Smoke from a Motorola 68000 or would it just vaporize?
btw - my Amiga 1000 is NOT overclocked.
