  1. Re:Why? on Debian GNU/Linux 4.0 Set for December · · Score: 0

    Hmm here is an idea: Make a derbian Enterprise distribution (akin to RHEL) guarentied backwards comaatebility and pathces for 5 years, and let debia stable become more cuting edge. In this way the users stay happy when they get new features fast. And server admins with DeBian Enterprise Linux (DEL Hmm better look for a different acronym) will be happy with having a rock solid and patched sytem. Agrre/Dissagree: PLZ tell me youre thoughts on my idea

    the res dont work out to 16/9, are you talking about widscreen movies?
    if i base the calculations on a with of 3656 then the hight wold be (3656*9)/16=2056,5 (hmm 1/4 pixel)

    based on a hight of 2664 the with wold be (2664*16)/9=4736

    so the uncompresset bitrate wold be:
    4736*2664*12*24=3,633,610,752 bps
    That is 433.16MB/s (that's right MegaBytes per second)
    If i do the math oon the res you gave, it resaults in: 350,625,024 bytes/sec (334.38MB/sec)

    well you will need yo change the first 48 bits of the addresses (iana recomends that isps give /48s to all costumers), but it will make renumbering easier. If uoe ever need more than 16bits for subneting (128 -64(interface id) -48(mask from isp)) you will probably just get an extra /48 mor info http://smakd.potaroo.net/ietf/idref/rfc3177/index. html

Address Delegation Recommendations The IESG and the IAB recommend the allocations for the boundary between the public and the private topology to follow those general rules: - /48 in the general case, except for very large subscribers. - /64 when it is known that one and only one subnet is needed by design. - /128 when it is absolutely known that one and only one device is connecting. In particular, we recommend: - Home network subscribers, connecting through on-demand or always-on connections should receive a /48. - Small and large enterprises should receive a /48. - Very large subscribers could receive a /47 or slightly shorter prefix, or multiple /48's. end quote Hope this answer youre question
