I'm sure it would -- just from the caching.  However, FWIW, you can do
better still, by running a recursive nameserver such as Unbound.  pdnsd
is terrific for what it is, but it's ultimately just a small caching
forwarder with no intelligence of its own.

I don't know how that translates to debian.

I am using pdnsd as a local cacheing from a sugestion from Russel Coker, 
this turned out to be a real excellent sugestion as it sped up page 
loading no end (this was on dialup). I will keep this setup as it will 
almost certainly be a good step forward on satelite given its latency 
issues.


Note: The satelite dish and modem was installed last monday, ie more 
than a week ago and I have as yet not done anything as I still have 
plenty of data left on my current account. Also the modem was installed 
a good distance from my current firewall (access was far easier) and I 
did not have a long enough cat 6 cable.

Does this help?

Re: Change HDMI resolution via fbset?

[Toby Corkindale via luv-main]

Well.. I ended up "solving" the problem by installing and Xserver, and
making an xinitrc script that pauses for 5 seconds, changes the res with
xrandr, then continues.. (For some reason xrandr needs that several-second
pause before it's called, or it too throws a "can't find mode" error)

PPPOE for a sat connection, that's just bad design.
