From browsing around a lot of pages on the web it seems that there are a number of small light servers (in terms of memory anyway) in portage. Some names: fnord, thttpd, boa, monkeyd cherokee.

Re: [gentoo-user] {OT} Overclocked CPU killed motherboard and CD?
Overclocking when done properly, is very safe. There are TONS of sites out there to help with the research. And there are an equal ammount of hardware that can safely support Overclocking. So word from the wise (trial and error wise), take your time, do your research and always take baby steps. no, oc'ing is always a bad idea. And for the young ones: some years ago, overclocking klilled masses of P4 cpus thanks to electro migration. Don't oc. Its not worth the risks (silent data corruption, damage). Statements like this, bleed miseducation. Not every peice of hardware is OC'able. You *must* research the parts in question. It's almost always a safe bet to OC three things in very small increments. Motherboard, CPU and RAM. If all these can't talk to each other at the same speed, then you are dead in the water. No point in continueing. GPU's are independant of the system as far as Overclockcing goes, so if the GPU supports it, you can safely OC that. I would hedge my bets though and make sure my AGP/PCIe slot has speed-based room to move around in. That being said, for example, OC'ing an AGP 4x card to 8X speeds, if you want it to work, you still have to have an 8x AGP Slot.. -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list

Hyper-Threading is a whole different beast I know very little about, it's more of an Intel thing for there first generation dual-core cpu's. HT is an abomination that should not be suffered to live. It's Intel's attempt to implement application level threading in silicon and it simply does not work in practice. I've yet to benchmark any reasonably complex app that runs better with hyper-threading enabled. In fact when I still worked support at a certain database vendor we simply refused to support any of our apps running on machines where HT was enabled.

Re: [gentoo-user] The future of Gentoo
The problem is that we don't believe in tales about witches and premonition, do we? ;) I do, does that count? Some people call it yellow press (though in my country it would be translated to pink press :P. This gets kind of boring, because every two or three days a similar thread arises in the forum or here. Once a year I answer this kind of topic (I usually just silently ignore them). Bad press In general should just about do it. If in doubt, /. it first. If it's been /.'d, dig, if you can dig it. Something is afoot, and we all need to be paying attention :D Right now, gentoo is stronger than ever. Monthly newsletter works again, and they are better than ever. The legal issues with the foundation (about papers and bureaucracy) are all now solved and portage is maintained and updated everyday. I figure how a person that use gentoo can question these things... So I figure if any of the persons who open this kind of threads are really using Gentoo for anything else than installing it to be cooler. Gentoo is like a cult ... it can't easily be killed. Every generation has a mythology. Every millenium has a doomsday cult. Every legend gets the distortion knob wound up until the speaker melts. Archeologists at the University of Helsinki today uncovered what could be the earliest known writings from the Cult of Tux, a fanatical religious sect that flourished during the early Silicon Age, around the dawn of the third millenium AD... Gospel of Tux, Verse I No offense intended. As I said, this just gets boring after 1000 posts telling the same. It kind of seems like spam to me.

Are you sure the switch/hub/router is failing? With any remote connection such as smb/nfs/sshfs, if the target becomes unavailable for some reason such as lag or a bad route from Point A to Point B then that terminal window will hang till point B is reachable. ionut cucu wrote: On Thu, 28 Feb 2008 16:51:59 -0500 Jerry McBride [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: On Thursday 28 February 2008 04:19:22 pm ionut cucu wrote: I'm running sshfs very often and I've noticed the following issue: whenever the hub/swich(what ever is that keeping my lan together) suddenly stops working while I'm using sshfs my computer crashes, or if I;m lucky enough I get to do an umount before everything falls.

[gentoo-user] Re: [gentoo-amd64] Re: BT8x8
OK ... I think I've made a little more progress, but I think I am still missing something I switched to the Open Source ATI Drivers. But there are issues with this :/ 1) I can't play Doom3, so if I want to, I have to switch drivers are restart X but that's not the bigger issue. tvtime loads now. I figured out what modules to load to create the /dev/video0 device tuner 64360 0 cx8800 40124 0 cx88xx 72036 1 cx8800 ir_common 39620 1 cx88xx tveeprom 20240 1 cx88xx compat_ioctl32 11072 1 cx8800 btcx_risc 7432 2 cx8800,cx88xx vivi 21716 1 video_buf 28932 3 cx8800,cx88xx,vivi videodev 30592 4 cx8800,cx88xx,vivi v4l1_compat14340 1 videodev v4l2_common22336 6 tuner,cx8800,cx88xx,compat_ioctl32,vivi,videodev modprobe vivi creates the device modprobe cx8800 (the bttv replacement from what I can tell) then modprove tuner ow the problem is tvtime (and xawtv) gets stuck on screen, can't kill the process, even after restarting X, the process is still in memory :/ So I am still missing something On the upside, I have YU12/YUY2 Overlays From xine-check [ good ] found xvinfo: X-Video Extension version 2.2 [ good ] your Xv extension supports YV12 overlays (improves MPEG performance) [ good ] your Xv extension supports YUY2 overlays [ good ] Xv ports: RGBA RGBT RGB2 YUY2 UYVY YV12 I420 so ... it's progress ... but I don't think a step forward :/ maybe a step sideways . Anywho .. I am going to reboot one last time to get rid of these stuck apps and reload the fglrx driver so I can play doom3. Any more idea's would be greatly appreciated. # # NOTICE: The contents of this e-mail and any attachments to it may # # contain privileged and confidential information from XaeroLimit # # Industries or its affiliates.
