Question about Linspire
by Leo Mauler 05 Aug '06

05 Aug '06

I'm looking at getting a complete Powerspec system from Microcenter (I'm being lazy and wanting to buy off-the-shelf instead of going the self-assembly route). It comes with Linspire already installed but I'm going to wipe the drive and install Debian instead (I'm really liking the netinst install option). Is Linspire radically different from other Linux versions, in terms of what it runs on? I'm wondering if running Linspire means you can run nearly any other Linux version, or if there is something special about Linspire, such as built-in support for, say, winmodems and related Windows-only devices, which would make it run on hardware which other versions of Linux wouldn't run on. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I have Sun pricing a couple for me as well since I am buying some other equipment from them, but I don't know anything about their application switches. Thanks, Brad Crotchett brad(a)bradandkim.net

I've had good luck with Foundry Network's ServerIrons, which you can get for cheap on EBay. RADWare devices aren't that bad either. I know a bunch of people that swear by RADWare and nothing else. Not sure about price on those however. I've found them both easier to administrate than a BigIP, which actually isn't that tough.

OT:Help[-we've lost our cooling @the campground
by Oren Beck 04 Aug '06

We've had a compressor failure in our condensing unit at the campground. Anyone on list have-or know where we can get cheap either a 3 ton piston compressor or a complete condensing unit- that's the "outside part" of a house style central unit. TIA Oren Beck 816.729.3645

OT: load balancers

Does anyone have experience with load balancer/ssl accelerator appliances? We need 2 and I don't think I can them to spring for BigIPs. We are looking at Kemp Technologies and their 3620 with 1000 ssl tps. The problem is I don't know anything about the company or the appliance, or any other products like it. http://www.kemptechnologies.com/load-balancer-3620.shtml Thanks, Brad

Backups
by Jack 03 Aug '06

03 Aug '06

Well, I've done it again. My /var partition went south today on my server. I couldn't find my backup media. It wasn't a full backup anyway. For some reason that partition kept my system from booting. Not sure what's going on there, unless I had a link from /usr to /var (a very real possibility). Anyway! I've just bought a DVD+RW writer for the server. The goal is to make a complete backup of the system onto a DVD, that can be used to rebuild the system. Question 1: Is it possible to 'dd' directly onto a DVD medium, so that it could be 'dd'ed back onto a new HD? Question 2: How would one best copy the entire file structure onto a dvd to make it a bootable media, so that it could be used as a boot device? Answers must be suitable for a CLI only system as this is a server and has no X. Thanks, Brian JD

"autorun" type functionality from automounter
by Kyle Sexton 31 Jul '06

31 Jul '06

I was wondering if anyone had a way to automatically run a command after automounter sees a new device and mounts it. My goal is to automatically sync over new podcasts to an mp3 player when it's mounted. I've searched around and haven't seen a simple way to do this. I'm trying to avoid writing a poller in a cronjob that looks for the device. :) Thanks, Kyle

Adobe Live Cycle Designer - Paperless Product Cycle - Electronic Document System
by Dale Beams 28 Jul '06

28 Jul '06

I am looking for open source solutions that fit the following requirements. PDF - HTML Creation similar to Adobe Live Cycle Designer Storage of PDF files that are indexed and can be searched for by index. IE: Customer Invoice - Index -- Customer Name/Number -- Dealer Name/Number -- Date -- Part #'s I am aware that PDF's can be searched, and i suspect indexed from a search. Ideally, one would create a pdf and dump to a que where it would be indexed/sorted for filing/searching. Any ideas would be appreciated.

RE: "autorun" type functionality from automounter
by Kelsay, Brian - Kansas City, MO 25 Jul '06

If you use KDE, you could create a shortcut containing the command and click after the mount happens. On Kubuntu, I've had USB pen drives auto mount. Also, have you looked into any of the sync apps like ksync?
