I'm trying to get a handful of lower case keyboard keys, but I can't find any place that sells them individually. I found one site that sells individual keys, but you have to know the make/model. I don't care what they keys go to and I don't know what make/model might have lower case by...
Was hoping to get some recommendations on some blogs to add to my RSS. I'm mainly looking for stuff that pertains to the administrative side of the LAMP stack... SysAdmin stuff in general is alright, but there seems to be a definite lack of good nix blogs out there right now.
Here is the...
While reading through the Apache documentation, I found a mention that disabling ExtendedStatus can speed things up by preventing gettimeofday() calls. I deal with a lot of servers that see a lot of traffic and wanted to find out what kind of gains it would give me. Strangely, I actually found...
Any recommendations on a good IRC channel to hang out in that is devoted to Linux system admins? Preferably something with a lot of good knowledge and limited bullshit/posturing.

I'm wondering if anyone has any recommendations on RSS software I can stick on a server that I can host myself. I'm not looking for a random google search... hoping I can get some real suggestions on software that folks around here have used.

I've been wanting to give back to the community for quite a while now... and I've actually been working with a smaller distro doing some packaging. Unfortunately, I'm not getting out of it what I was hoping for... I still have to strong arm for my next assignment so I can only do one or two...
I've been doing quite a bit of reading lately on how to harden my server. One of the things that I've come across is that you should disable htaccess completely; however, I've also seen quite a few different places advising to use htaccess settings to increase security (password protecting...
After many, many hours of trying to work around problems with Net-SNMP not reporting data which takes reserved space into account I finally just decided to submit a patch to Net-SNMP.org that would implement an additional datapoint. I was hoping there would be a few folks here that would be...
I've made some changes to some source code on a *nix system and was wondering what the best practices are for creating patch files using diff. I've done some googling, but all I've really found is folks saying "use the arguments". Man page for diff doesn't help me much either: "-c Use the...
I'm putting together an LFS build on an old laptop just for playing/learning. Its been quite an experience so far, but I'd like to get some sort of browser installed other than links. It serves its purpose, but I'd definitely like something a bit more graphical.

Anyone else care to share their whoops moments?
After installing the most recent auto-updates earlier I started noticing some of the migration/# processes using a ridiculously high amount of CPU (1 illion+ %) according to my widget. Everything looks fine on a top and also when looking at the System Monitor (both processes tab and...
I've spent well over 12 hours searching and fighting with this travesty of a programming language to get this to work. Unfortunately, I'm stuck having to do this with just VBScript.
The major problems I'm running into are an inability to pull the proper CPU data, no array sort (will have to...
I'm hoping that you guys can help steer me in the right direction for what I'm needing. I've done quite a bit of searching over the past few days and haven't been able to find anything that will work.

I finally have the chance to move over to Linux full time. I'm down to only 1 game (World of Tanks) and it seems to run reasonably well on Linux, except for horrible FPS and a slightly higher ping than Windows.

I'm doing all of this as part of studying for the Linux+ exam, so I'm pretty firm on using RPM for this. I have found a few examples using apt-get and yum, but I want to do this with RPM. I have been able to install other applications with RPM in the past, but I just can't seem to get this one...
I'm new to Linux and learning a lot setting up my home server; however, I would like to undervolt/underclock my CPU a bit. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment and the only good place for the server is in my bedroom. I currently have a P4 630 @ 3.0 Ghz that I think could run a little cooler.

I've got some Google wave invites available. Since I recently benefited from a Google Voice invite from ATOT, I thought I'd share them here :)
PM me your email and I'll get the Invite sent out in the next day or two. I doubt I'll check this thread again, so just send the PM :)
Anyone have a google voice invite that they can send my way?
I'm going to be doing a lot of business from home and I think it will help me out :)
Reply or PM me and I'll send you my info, thanks.

Hi ATOT... recently lost my job and I'm looking for work again. I put together a full resume that will be stripped down based on the position I am applying for. I'll most likely be looking at Help Desk and Junior Admin positions.

With its smaller size and the increase in PCIe slots and RAM slots on high end motherboards, it makes me wonder if there is a reason why Mobo manufacturers aren't switching to the smaller laptop memory. It seems that with smaller memory they could cram more stuff onto a motherboard, or just...
Not the greatest discount, but worth a gander if you are searching for something specific for price comparisons:

I have a Dell Latitude D820 which will boot just fine the first time around, everytime. I can run it for as long as I like without problems; however, when I shut it down it won't start back up again. It has to sit for a few hours before it will come back on. I press the power button, see a...
I'm wiring up my apartment and just need some keystone jacks for the wall plates. I've done some electrical work in the past and know my way around a wire, but I see time and time again people posting about how an amateur crimp/push-down/whatever job can kill your network performance. In light...
I'm throwing together a home server from some parts I gathered and am in need of a new PSU. The board is an Asus P5WD2 Premium with 24 pin and an additional 8 pin. All the motherboards I've ever had have had a 4 pin instead of the 8 pin. The manual labels this as a EATX12V connector. I need...
My wife and I were leaving an open air shopping plaza - It isn't very big. 4 stories with maybe 30 shops total - as we are heading down from the 3rd floor I happen to see a cop on the 2nd checking doors to make sure they are locked. We go across the street and there is a handbag just sitting...

I'm looking to upgrade my overall setup with a File Sharing Server and HTPC. The HTPC will pull media from the Server and will have pretty much nothing on it other than OS and media center apps.
We live in a 1 bedroom apartment. Our cable comes into the modem in our bedroom and current is...
Any benefits to one over the other for an HTPC? I'd think either would have the horsepower to take care of HTPC tasks. Would either be more energy efficient?
Both are 2.66 @ Stock with the 7300 running at 1066 and the 8200 at 1333. Both are 45 nm with the 7300 running 3MB cache and 8200...
