Hey! I just did "apt-get install setiathome" and it asked me if I wanted to download the client from the ftp server. It's in the contrib section, so your mileage may vary. After a short "setiathome -login" I was up and running. That's too easy. --Mike Rob Hudson wrote: Team EUGLUG is now in existence. Follow these steps to join and start analyzing sky data... 1.

Preparation for the Next System Admin Talk...
[Please pass this on to any people interested in unix system administration education] Hello, I am spending a lot of time on Unix System Administration Education. I have been working on a class at OSU called CS 312 Unix system administration as well as supporting the local Linux Users Group and working on the SAGE system administration education committee. As a part of my system administration class, I try to take my class on tours of businesses and I try to bring in guest speakers. This last term, I had a great guest speaker come (Hal Pomaranz) but I realized that I did not have enough networking in place to let people know about him in an effective manner. I hope in the future to bring in more great speakers around current topics in System Administration. In preparation for that effort, I would like to let you know about some of the mailing lists that I am supporting around system administration. If you know of anyone who would want to know about these, please pass this on. [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] List Descriptions: [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is the list of people who are willing to be speakers for the class. If you would like to come in and tell war stories about system admin, please sign up for this list. [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is the list of people who have projects that they want the class to work on. Typically this is a list of k12 people who have linux boxes in their school and want some linux support. But it could be any non-profit with system admin issues to address. The key is to be willing to work with the educational process and to work with students. [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is an international list supporting the discussion of how to education system administrators. It is part of the SAGE (http://www.usenix.org/sage) discussion on system administration Education. [EMAIL PROTECTED] This is an announcement list for people who want to know about speakers or other external events that happen as a result of the course. If you wish you had known about the Hal Pomeranz talk on DNS, Firewalls and Sendmail talk, then you want to be on this list. To get on a list send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] In the message say: subscribe list For example: subscribe sysadm-announce If you have any questions on system administration that I can help with, please drop me a line. - John Sechrest .

Re: File size limit?
He said, "Two of my runs ended with the wonderfully informative message 'System error: Input/output error'." I don't know exactly how his program works, but I suspect it calculates a set of numbers and appends them to a file then goes to the next set.

Re: File size limit?
Unfortunatly it's an x86 problem, as somebody alluded to eariler - ext2 can have MUCH larger file size, but the kernel is using 32bits in the VFS code above ext2, limiting a single file to 2 gig. 64 bit systems (e.g. Alpha) dont have that limitation. There is supposed to be a patch out there to make the VFS code handle larger files, but it sounds like an ugly hack to me... my $0.02 -david --- Seth Cohn [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: At 01:14 PM 08/16/2000 -0700, you wrote: He said, "Two of my runs ended with the wonderfully informative message 'System error: Input/output error'."

Clusters in Linux
The thread on clusters brought a couple of questions to mind. Does the application you are running on the cluster need to be specifically written for cluster operation? Or can any-old-app be run on a cluster? Also how much admin is there to running a cluster. I have a trunk full of Sparc 10's that I was just dying to find a use for. This sounds like a great waste of time. Another thing, does the cluster have a master control computer (think brain)? How is the work "shared" between the computers in the cluster? Also how much is does the speed of the network affect the speed of the cluster? How must overhead is there in administering the cluster? Maybe that is more than a couple of questions..
