Several things regarding the mirrors on the UUG website:
1) When should we expire old releases? For instance, we still have
Fedora 2 and SuSE 9.1. If we got rid of them we could add something
else to the site.
2) Should we get rid of the Debian mirror and replace it with an
Ubuntu mirror?

Offhand, I can't think of any reason to keep FC2 or Suse 9.1.

If you're going to replace Debian, Ubuntu is probably a good
choice, but I'd like to see Mepis as well. Not all of us like

Profiling support - OProfile system profiling
I've been seeing sorta similar problems both at work and school. In
every case, for me, it turned out to be the settings on the NIC.
Normally autonegotiation works fine, but in some cases one end will be
full duplex and the other end half duplex, which means there will be
millions of collisions.
Gary,

It depends. CaptiveNTFS should be safe. The writable NTFS support
in the kernel is still pretty experimental.

I have my own Debian mirror on campus. I do hate to see someone give up
Debian though. I'm not a big fan of Ubuntu, compiling a vanilla kernel
was a pain. Granted I only tried it on the one machine, it left a bitter
taste in my mouth. Gnome based is also a negative for me, although KDE

FreeBSD may be working well, but those I/O errors do mean there is a
physical problem with your hardware, not that FC failed in some way.
You did do some extensive diagnostics, right?

I take it by GPL you really mean free and open source. I'm sure a BSD

Anyway it turns out that my method for doing this does use a GPL'd

Of course, you might just get better audio quality with:
