is cheap!) so I can mount /tmp on a tmpfs filesystem.
Is this for apps that say if malloc() fails, I create a tmp file?
IOW, you pretty much ensure
I'm trying to get started with Xen.
I've installed Lenny and a bunch of packages that looked interesting
and mentioned Xen in their descriptions. But there does not seem to
be a Xen enabled kernel available. Is Xen built-in to the Lenny
kernels, or what?
I plan to spend tonite with my

A Blue and White G3 will happily boot and run the latest Debian
releases (Etch or Lenny). The Beige G3s (which may have slightly

Recently, .zsync files started showing up in the daily cdimage
directory.
This is very nice. The zsync program is loads easier to use(*) than

I forget the details, but there is a Hexadecimal vs decimal
