semi-OT: Gutenberg
by Jack 21 Oct '05

21 Oct '05

I have downloaded and burned a copy of the Gutenberg 10K DVD. It contains approximately 9500 books. Since this is a FREE Library, as in FREE Beer, and FREE Speech, I thought it might be appropriate for the list. TGP people also ask to spread the wealth sort of speak. While, I'd like to burn copies to give out at ITEC, I don't really have that many DVDs, but would be happy to burn a few for LUG members. It includes many of the classics, as well as some controversial one, statistics, history, religion, childrens, pretty much a full range of the Dewey Decimal. Some are also relatively new ones released by the authors. Brian JD

Debian, 3Ware RAID controllers & Opterons
by Charles Steinkuehler 15 Oct '05

15 Oct '05

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 We're finally going to buy some 'real' server systems at my company and I'm wondering if anyone has experience with some of the hardware we're looking at. The systems will be dual AMD Opteron (Tyan 2882 motherboards), with 3Ware 12-port SATA RAID controllers (9500S-12). We use debian (ie: no pre-compiled drivers from 3Ware for the Debian kernels), and I'm wondering: - - Has anyone used the current 3Ware drivers with linux (preferrably in a compile-your-own kernel environment)? - - If so, what's your environment (disto, 32/64-bit) and how well do they work (speed, stability)? - - Is anyone running the AMD64 port of Debian (sarge), and if so what are your thoughts about using this in a production environment (or should I stick with the plain x86 port for now)? Thanks in advance! - -- Charles Steinkuehler charles(a)steinkuehler.net -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDT9xELywbqEHdNFwRAkriAKCJQ6vD/+6kQCJSB5EDIX7FAc54eACeKj/b s7mBR9F4wjmKsxVzit4berU= =8oBQ -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----

Designed this label to stick on LiveCD sleeves
by Leo Mauler 11 Oct '05

11 Oct '05

I picked up a package of 100 white paper CD sleeves, and I've designed a KCLUG label to go on the backs of the paper sleeves. http://webgiant.sdf1.org/images/KCLUG-ITEC_cd-sleeve-label.jpg The label is generic enough in that it doesn't mention a specific type of LiveCD. If other people have burnt large quantities of Linux LiveCDs but don't have nice looking sleeves to put them into, I could get more paper sleeves and labels to go on them. __________________________________ Yahoo!

ITEC Planning [Was: Free Fedora CDs]
by Kelsay, Brian - Kansas City, MO 08 Oct '05

08 Oct '05

Better nail down what you want to do. The ITEC thing is next week. Do we know who is going to be manning the booth? What will be handed out? What needs to be burned, (preferably need to know before the weekend so it can be burned and handed off to someone that will be at ITEC if necessary)? What hardware wil be there? What hardware do we need? Hardware includes PCs, powerstrips, UPS, table, etc. Does everyone have tickets that needs them? Badges? Setup people? Time and day for setup? I think some of this was still coming together the week of, last year. ******************************************* If the automobile had followed the same development cycle as the computer, a Rolls-Royce would today cost $100, get a million miles per gallon, and explode once a year, killing everyone inside. - Robert X.
