Good morning Captain Nemo! (Hello all) I'm trying to go about collecting statistics on the amount of bandwidth that passes through my gateway in a billing cycle, and given that this is a fairly common situation, I figure other people must have already invented that wheel, and likely in multiple flavors colors and designs. I found a fairly extensive list of some various apps that might be of help over here http://www.ubuntugeek.com/bandwidth-monitoring-tools-for-linux.html But I was wondering what methods ended up actually being chosen by other members in the community. Do you track your bandwidth usage, and if so, what do you use and would you recommend it? Not on the list linked to above is the program pmacct which I'm currently using. It does work, though with plenty of room for improvement (pmacct's mysql plugin gets backlogged if your SQL server isn't fast enough or your seeing a lot of traffic or theres too many records in the sql database table). Cheers, Jeff.

Still lurking, but .... yes, I just got a new gateway small form desktop with win7, and it's pretty nice. Haven't tried a linux install yet... we'll see how that goes in a couple of months. I also run win7 as a virtual machine on my Debian 64bit install, using VMPlayer, and it runs well. I often full screen the VM on one linux desktop, leaving me 3 others for linux. Pretty sweet, I can access the Win7 VM using logmein.com from anywhere, even from linux using firefox.
Anyway, it is pretty quiet on the list, eh?
But what a hockey game to end the Olympics!

Blame the deathly silence on Global Warming. Well, I'm still here. Every morning I give the crank on my old Celeron box a few turns and fire up ancient Libranet 3.0. I write a few letters with WP 8.1, then dial-up the internet. I like living in the past. Can't wait for the next version of Open Linux... Oops; sorry. Senior moment. -- -- Leon A.

For that matter, I only installed XP Pro on my new 15in Macbook Pro under VMware Fusion a few months ago. About the only thing I do with it is use a program to do ACBL Convention Cards. I have CentOS 5 in another VM on this in addition to the 60+ Linux servers I support around the planet. I have been having fun with a new iPod Touch (which I *HAD* to buy to help a client get VPN and ssh connections to his Linux systems. Finally a mobile device that's actually useful as it seamlessly integrates with my laptop and desktop contacts, calendars, email, and the OmniFocus ``Getting Things Done'' program.

Is this the Windows followon to XP, Vista, 2003, or some other gyration? Honestly, why anyone bothers with Windoze is beyond me. Waste of time. Been working on a number of projects. Every time I retire I get busier than the previous retirement. Anyway ... no, between preparing to teach classes (at least not physics classes this year), following and using Debian-Live, working on a virtual box with LedgerSMB, building and testing CVS builds of OpenWRT, and rewriting (forking) openadmin (school administration software) to run on PostgreSQL vice MySQL (I see little point in running more than one SQL server), I'm busier than a one-armed paper hanger. And I still administer several companies' Asterisk servers (that software needs some serious dumbing down). So, I'm currently working about 52 hours of each 24 hour day. Time to write? Not hardly.
