after a long time of things getting delayed, i am finally in the opportunity to run foresight on servers. i am already running one for a customer (though it is an office machine with the desktop still in tact for now, but its main function is squid (squid package is almost ready for committing) and dns) and i have been told by my collegue that he is ready to set up foresight on our new hosting machines, so i'll have some opportunity to experiment with building a base system there. one of the good things for developing server systems is that there is less pressure to run the latest and greatest on libraries and applications. this can give fl:2 another lease of life where we can experiment with reducing groups to a base system until fl:3 is ready. greetings, martin. -- eKita - the online platform for your entire academic life hackerspace beijing - http://qike.info -- chief engineer eKita.co pike programmer pike.lysator.liu.se caudium.net foresight developer realss.com foresightlinux.org unix sysadmin trainer developer societyserver.org Martin Bähr working in china http://societyserver.org/mbaehr/ _______________________________________________ Foresight-devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.foresightlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/foresight-devel
