yet another cvsup server

Hi all I setup a cvsup server on a machine that is always 'in the air' and besides that it has an excelent connection to a common interchange connecting the several isp's in my country. Since here there is no (at least official) cvsup server , I would like to know how could I submit this so the

Re: Detecting ECC errors

Just how valuable *IS* it? I can come up with a test plan. 1. Get a pile of expendable ECC DIMMS. 2. Get your hacked kernel loaded. 3. Get an LKM to do malloc(); and free(); in kernelspace. 4. Open up your case, swap your DIMMS for expendable modules. Make sure ECC mode is on. 5. Boot, load your
