Re: How to create a terabyte storage array?

I think I might not have conveyed my original point very well.  Some
posters are very defensive of raid and may mistakenly believe that I
was discounting as a potential solution.

All I was really trying to say (somewhat clumsily) was that what a
raid setup protects you you from that any other solution (LVM, JBOD,
single disk) combined with regular backups doesn't is downtime in the
event of a physical disk failure, since you can rebuild the array from
parity (assuming you have a replacement disk) without having to do a
complete restore.

I just wanted to suggest that for some users, the time it takes to
restore from backup to get the data back may not be a problem, and
might be worth the almost mindless simplicity of setting up LVM.

Personally I am a raid user (though not at the moment) and I think
various raid configuration s have some pretty neat implications.  I
just wanted add another idea that may be viable in some circumstances.
 Sorry for any confusion.

They are not flat, they are subtle gradients, not very
trendy anymore; they makes the window feel top-heavy.

I too would like a linux based photo cd creation programme .... one that
would make the resultant cd 'playable' in linux or windows and
especially if it woud allow selctive photo printing ....

Anyone any ideas on how one might go about this ... maybe a common set
of data on which the appropriate application in its own OS could be
used ???

Re: Which USB mp3 player to purchase?

Interestingly, the iriver actually came up a few weeks ago on the
list. The October issue of Tux Magazine, http://www.tuxmagazine.com,
which is available free in PDF format, has a really good article on
getting iRiver Digital Audio Players working with linux.  It discusses
the firmware.  Not sure if it works with the IFP-800

Re: Ubuntu's unstable vs Debian unstable

Hello.

In my experience, sooner or later I always needed a package that
depended (directly or indirectly) on sid's libc, in which case pinning
the default to testing packages for stability reasons seems rather moot,
and I always ended with a sid-only system.

Yes, but porting packages from Debian sid to Ubuntu stable is, in my
opinion, usually quite easy (just a `fakeroot dpkg-rebuildpackage`
away in most cases).

Actually, I'm using Ubuntu on my servers as well. In theory, I have to
remember to track non-main packages' security by myself (while Debian
supports everything it ships), but in practice the MotU team does
a splendid job, Debian's security isn't as good as Ubuntu's main's,
and at least I can use a supported, official PHP 5 packages. :o)

It's beta no more. It became final yesterday.

Hopefully it will be in Breezy Backports within the next 30 days.....

Re: evolution antispam not working


you can also check that in the menu 'edit -> plugins' the plugin 'Sa
Junk Plugin' is here and enabled.

after you receive mail you can also check the logs *tail
/var/log/mail.log* to check that spamd processed your mail. If so, then
maybe you could just wait a little for the filter to be trained ;)
