[gentoo-user] Set a network quota per eth device?
Hello, I own a server in a datacenter which has a limit on the traffic per month. If I transfer more data then what has been defined in my contract, I have to pay about 1 EUR per Gbyte. Is there any kind of program or script in Gentoo Linux which detects if for example the server transfers more than 10 Gbytes in one day on the network device eth0 and then it shut it down for 24 hours or something like this?

[gentoo-user] domainname = (none) ?
Hello, I installed Gentoo Linux 2006.1 by a network installation from the minimal ISO CD. But my problem is that I don't find out how I could set a domainname for my machine? The hostname is set at: /etc/conf.d/hostname acmp5 conf.d # cat hostname # /etc/conf.d/hostname # Set to the hostname of this machine HOSTNAME=acmp5 But where I can set the domainname? When I type the domainname or dnsdomain command I get: acmp5 conf.d # domainname (none) acmp5 conf.d # dnsdomainname Does somebody knows how I could set it?

[gentoo-user] What to use for a Intel Xeon processor (IA64 or AMD64) ?
Hello, I'm a little confused. I just bought a Intel Xeon 64 Bits processors and now I'm confused what to install? Should I install the Gentoo IA64 or AMD64 version? I know that Intel Xeon processors have EM64T support, which means normally full compatibility to AMD64? Does somebody knows what would be better?

[gentoo-user] Good arguments to use Gentoo Linux?
Hello, I would like to convince my boss and my collegues to use Gentoo GNU/Linux at the company office for the desktop system (and maybe one day also for servers). Currently everybody uses its own Linux/Unix system, but soon we could be forced to uses for everybody only one system. I must probably convince the people to use Gentoo Linux against RedHat Scientific Linux and FreeBSD. Does somebody has some good key arguments? The mines are: - newests packages with newests security updates, encryption support and full integreated KDE desktop to be used in office without problems - high performance desktop Best regards, saf -- E-Mail sent with anti-spam site TrashMail.net!

[gentoo-user] How can I emerge a program with debugging options?
Hello, I would like to emerge a program with debugging options CFLAGS=-g and without strip at the end of the build. I know that I could do this: $ export CFLAGS=-g; emerge mypackage But then it strip at the end the binary file (/usr/bin/strip) and I loss my debugging symbols in the binary file of the package. Does somebody knows how I could do this by an easy way? I had already the idea to rename the program /usr/bin/strip in /usr/bin/strip.old, but this is a little ugly! :-) -- E-Mail sent with anti-spam site TrashMail.net!

Re: [gentoo-user] Important security update for GnuPG!

[...] Maybe have I to do an emerge -uD ? because I do only emerge --update ? I don't think that's the problem. To my knowledge the -D means update related packages (it means deep). Half way right: in this case, gnupg-1.4.6 *is* a related package. If you have gnupg in world, and tell portage to --update world, it will update the highest slot version of gnupg, in this case 1.9. Only when you say --deep, it will go for the other slots, too, *if* something else still depends on them. See the original GLSAs for reference - the first GLSA used --update gnupg, the second corrected GLSA said --update =gnupg-1.4* or something equivalent (all from memory). Problem resolved: I did know a emerge -uD world and it updated my gnupg version to 1.4.6. So from now I will any time use the arguments -uD when I'm updating Gentoo. Would it not be better if the deep update would be the default update? Because this is confusing (for non gentoo experienced users). By the way the emerge =app-crypt/gnupg-1.4.6 worked also before I did the deep update. So its also possible to manally update gnupg.

[gentoo-user] Which Laptop is recommended for Gentoo GNU/Linux?
Hello, first thanks all for your great support on Gentoo Linux. I'm interessted to buy a laptop on which I would like to install Gentoo GNU/Linux by using 100% all hardware functions of the laptop for which I have bought. Does somebody know a model of a laptop on which all works fine with Linux? I don't want to have trouble with wireless, webcam or this kind of stuff. Is there maybe a laptop hardware constructor which supports 100% Linux on laptop? Best regards, saf -- E-Mail sent with anti-spam site TrashMail.net!
