[clug-talk] Troubleshooting Poor Gigabit Performance

2012-03-29 Thread Jeff Clement
Hi everyone, It's been a while since I've been on clug-talk. Lots of familiar faces though. I'm having some trouble with slow performance and I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas? I have two older HP Proliant servers (ML370 and DL360), a more modern desktop computer and an i7 laptop and I'm h

For me, Crunchbang comes out of the chute almost exactly how I want it. It has very broad package selection that usually works pretty well for my purposes. It's not as flashy as Ubuntu or Mint but it's fast and usable and reasonably pretty. They use Conky to draw a list of shortcut keys to the d

Yes Daemon tools is most definately the right tool for the job. It's awesome. Failing in that you can try this (http://jclement.ca/software/daemon-tools-jr/) which just launches a single service and restarts it if it die (but I wrote it so it so watch out). Definately look into daemon tools

I lean towards Python for several reasons: 1) It's a very clean, well documented and simple to learn language. I used to use Perl and found the code just got nasty quickly. 2) A very complete standard library means you can start writting useful apps quickly. 3) Very powerful and flexible. Yo

VMailmgr doesn't mess with your default qmail install. If you just install it, it won't do anything. Once it's installed you have to add your virtual hosts (one domain per system account) to /var/qmail/control/virtualdomains and then when logged into that system account run vsetup which sets
