And we wonder why GNU/Linux "fails" at marketing?

http://www.linuxinsider.com/rsstory/65877.html?wlc=1246679309 --
there's surely a lot of blame to go around, starting with Microsoft,
but the Linux zealots are probably as bad, if not worse, than MS.

using multiple gw

I have 2 isp provider (ISPA and ISPB) and I have 1 machine. The 2 isp 
provide a modem/router and both of them hook up on the same switch. I 
called it "PUBLIC SWITCH". My web server was connected also on the 
PUBLIC SWITCH and use ISPA provided ip address and its gateway.

What I want to do is also use ISPB on the same server. I have only 2 NIC 
(1 on PUBLIC SWITCH and 1 on my private network) on my webserver. But 
since it was connected on the PUBLIC SWITCH, I can use ISPB.

I put ip address provided by ISPB as virtual (ifcfg-eth0:1) and the 
metric gateway was 1. But I think this won't work as expected.

Is there a way wherein I can use both ISP and their provided ip block on 
my web server (just like a router)? My client is on a tight budget and 
don't want to purchase another machine just for a load balancer. But 
purchasing another NIC card is ok.

The OS is CentOS 5.3 with kernel 2.6.18-128.el5. Upon Googling, there is 
a patch on the kernel on how to do this but it seems old. Just asking a 
recommendation on the list who is expert to this.

LiMux: Where the Munich Linux (R)evolution is today


In the short-term, no money was saved with the change-over. To the contrary, the city had to absorb one-time upfront costs of 13 million Euros for the Linux Munich “LiMux” project, which the city’s IT department describes as an IT evolution, not a revolution, as some observers thought. According to vice director Schießl, an upgrade of the then-existing Windows NT4 operating system to Windows XP would have been as much as two million euros cheaper. The change-over will make financial sense only after several years, by avoiding the payment of on-going licensing fees.


Who said that Free Software was necessarily cheaper, at least in the short term?

When the third largest city in Germany rebuffed Microsoft, even people in the US were talking about it. While the software revolution has quieted down, the change goes ahead with zeal.

mod rewrite help

hi!

I'm trying to rewrite my site:

domain.com/about/us/help/value

into domain.com/about/us/help.php?url=value

So far, I've used,

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^about/us/help/([A-Za-z0-9-]+)/?$ about/us/help.php?url=$1 [NC,L]

but isn't working.

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks!

Bry

Unable to Install CentOS 5


Hi:

    I'm unable to install Centos 5 (64bit) my machine. 

    When I selected options such as "Remove all partitions on selected drives and create default layout" (or
any other options). I got the following error messages:
    An error has occured - no valid devices were found on which to create new file systems. Please check your
hardware for the cause of this problem.

 Here are excerpts of the log (displayed when I hit CTRL-ALT-F4):
     <6>ata4: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300)
     <4>ata4.00 qc timeout (cmd 0xec)
     <4>ata4.00 failed to IDENTIFY (I/O Error, err_mask-0x4)
     <6>ata4: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300     
     ....
     ....
     <5>SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)
     <6>SATA link down (SStatus 0 SControl 300)

     Running lpsci, give me the following message:
     ...
     ...
     00.09.0 SATA Controller: nVidia Corporation Unknown device 0584 (rev a2)
     ...
     ...

     I don't think it is a hard disk problem, as there was a Windows installed before it (I already remove a windows partition).

     Any ideas?

Thanks in advance,
ludwig Lim
