Hahaha!!! Yes I am listening. I'm in UP Manila now, though (using the CAS
faculty coop's machine, paying P40 per hour for Internet use). I'll check the
URL out and perhaps give it a shot. I've got quite a bit of bandwidth to spare
these days so, why not. This also gives me an idea. Linux from Scratch may be a
nice "challenge" for the CompSci majors here in Manila who refuse to stay as
Micro$ofty as most of our professors.
When I release the updated announcement on available Linux CDs this may be on
the list. If it ain't then I probably changed my mind. ;>
BTW, as an aside: I'm thinking of migrating my /home and /opt/samba partitions
to XFS from ReiserFS. I will keep the root directory and Squid cache in
ReiserFS for obvious reasons, but will migrate the two to XFS for NFS and SFS
support, as well as the EA/ACL capabilities that work with Samba 2.2.1. I do
not know how to free up enough space for this migration, though, so I _may_
have to delete all the ISOs and updates I have and then pick them up again
after the migration. I hope I won't have to do it, but if push comes to
shove ... what the heck. ;>
