Seemes my first message never hit the mail server, if it comes through later I'm sorry for double posting <orig message> > You *might* get them in time if you order now-- unless they give events > priority. Mine usually take a month or two to get here, though. > On the bright side, I do have about 15 or so Kubuntu discs I haven't given > away yet... Let me know how many we would like ( 300 to 500 ? ) and I can give them a call and get the process sped up a bit, for LRL we got just over 300 Kubuntu CD's in about a week. Also do we want all i386 or should I poke them for a few PPC , and AMD64 ones also. Also +1 we are working on getting the first point release pushed out the door in the next few days, so the cd's would be Kubuntu Dapper Drake 6.06.1 LTS ( the first point relasese ) Brandon -- Brandon Holtsclaw imbrandon(a)kubuntu.org http://lunchpad.net/people/imbrandon

ITEC in October

My boss has given me permission to load up some P3 systems, I intend to install slackware, debian, centos, and suse for demo machines. My main problem with this will be monitors (or lack there of) so I will bring my 4 port KVM and hope for the best. I'll be able to man the booth for a few hours as well. Also, are we in need of any equipment (switches, wifi access points, power strips etc...)?

outsourced web page hit counter with moving averages
by David Nicol 09 Aug '06

09 Aug '06

too much coffee... I have been meaning to write this little thing for some years, since hit counters were a Big Deal, which was a long time ago. Details at http://tipjar.com/nettoys/counter.html I guess I had to wait for iframes to happen before setting it up was sufficiently simple -- it used to be to do that kind of thing you needed to dynamically generate numbered images on the fly. -- David L Nicol all your grammar nit are belong to us

07 Aug '06

Hi All, ITEC is coming up October 25-26th They're willing to give us the same deal as last year. If everything looks good, I'll sign and send in our agreement (http://www.kclug.org/KCLUG-ITEC_2006_Agreement.pdf). Chris -- I digitally sign my emails. If you see an attachment with .asc, then that means your email client doesn't support PGP digital signatures. http://www.gnupg.org/(en)/documentation/faqs.html#q1.1

high softirq
by brad＠bradandkim.net 06 Aug '06

06 Aug '06

I have 6 identical IBM blades and all are running RHEL 3, kernel 2.4.21-40.ELsmp. They are dual 2.8 Xeons with 4 GB RAM. Most of the blades that are not in production have a resting load average of 0.00 to 0.08. One particular blade has a resting load average of 0.2 to 1.3. Even when I shut down just about every service it hovers around 0.3. The load looks to be coming from softirq. How can I track it further? irq looks fine, as does iowait and context switching, at least as far as I can tell. Here is a snip from top: 16:30:49 up 1 day, 9 min, 2 users, load average: 0.51, 0.65, 0.83 46 processes: 45 sleeping, 1 running, 0 zombie, 0 stopped CPU states: cpu user nice system irq softirq iowait idle total 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 3.2% 0.3% 96.3% cpu00 0.2% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 99.7% cpu01 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 100.0% cpu02 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.6% 99.4% cpu03 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 0.0% 13.0% 0.8% 86.2% Mem: 4093432k av, 763352k used, 3330080k free, 0k shrd, 213936k buff 278660k active, 220840k inactive Swap: 2048276k av, 0k used, 2048276k free 347588k cached Thanks, Brad Crotchett brad(a)bradandkim.net

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!?
