Seriously, what practical difference does that make? A tag in some TLAs database. What does it even mean? In the post 9/11 world what with the current War on whatever in full swing, the TLAs are particularly paranoid. I'd hate to even nightmare that one of our younger members had been tagged in some way because he encrypted some totally innocent content. Either the TLAs do deep packet inspection on everything, or they don't. If they don't, then a subject has to be targetted in some other way *first*. One would hope that that is the case, but I'm 99.99% sure that the TLAs have 'fishing expedition' routines, snooping on us just because they have the technical ability to do so. Personally, I'd no more leave 50 megs of encrypted data on Google Mail than fly. Call me paranoid if you wish, but I have seen enough of life to know full well that tall poppies get their heads chopped off. Dachshunds know all about correct profile, that's how they have survived. Using encryption is not an admission of guilt, Of course it isn't, but the TLAs will be asking: Why's he doing it? and if you act like it is you're not helping the rest of us :-) -- Sincerely etc. Christopher Sawtell

Redhat support subscriptions
I have been doing some assessment work on Redhat. AFAICT Redhat charges approx $500NZ per year per server. (that's the bare bones basic subscription) and approx $1200 per year per server for 12X5 telephone support. There's a more expensive 24X7 one as well. Does anyone on the list have any experience with Redhat's services? What I'm trying to figure out is whether it is worth my employer spending it's money on some of these subscriptions or whether we just go Centos and muddle through. I am not the world's most experienced sysadmin but I *can* usually muddle through. My experience with another supplier (which at this point will remain nameless) was appalling when I went to them for support. That was the reason we were using their distro was because it was supported but when I tried to get that support for a quite obscure problem they were hopeless and I fixed the problem myself eventually.

Cheers, Zane My experience is that the support contract is not worth the paper it'll be printed on. Mind you, that was two years ago but I doubt much will have changed. All of my issues with RH I have managed to solve myself though to be fair, when the boss is breathing down your neck when a system is down you tend to work much harder and faster than any support rep ever will. Funnily enough, the one time support would have been welcome (this issue took months to resolve) both Oracle NZ and RedHat were absolutely useless. Wandering through source code eventually highlighted the issue which was resolved quite effectively once the cause was found. As such I would use Centos. Cheers, Brett. (RHCE)

The reason you can get 813MB on a video cd is because you aren't clogging up a great chunk of the CD with an ISO filesystem's redundancies (which are important for data integrity on regular files, but not used on videoCD) However google does assist with this page: http://www.togaware.com/linux/survivor/Copy_Video.html To copy a Video CD (these use audio CD disks--the common CD-R) the following should do the trick: $ cdrdao read-cd --paranoia-mode 2 --read-raw data.toc To then write it to another CD-R: $ cdrdao write data.toc There are other tools including readvcd, vcdimager, and vcdgear.
