Hi All,
Its with great pleasure that I announce a new vict^W^W^W^Wdeveloper to
the ranks, Mike Auty. I'm sure you'll all make him feel very welcome :)
Mike's been around helping many of us for a long time now, most recently
with the excellent work he's been doing on vmware.
Mike has this to say:
OK, You got me. Not really *new* but meh!
I'd like to welcome back Jon Hood (squinky86) who has returned after a
prolonged hiatus. If you wish to cheer or throw underwear, this is your
cue. Jon hails from Huntsville, AL, but its not his fault, bless.
Jon will be mostly working on accessibility and
Hey guys,
Anyone got any objections to this?
If you do, please speak up now, else I will add this in the close to
immediate future.
Cheers,
John

Hi All,
Just to let you know that as of tonight there is no guarantees on when I
will be back online. I pack up my most valued of possessions (in case
you never guessed, its my computer kit ;)) and get ready to board a
one-way ticket to York.

Hey all,
Sorry for asking on this list but if anyone has an MP2400+ which they
are willing to get rid of (I can pay P&P and a reasonable asking price)
on the cheap, please let me know.
Please email me off-list on this mail if you can help me.
It will certainly help me out a LOT!
Many thanks,
Joh

In general, there is no obvious technical reason against individual

For the record, there is a bug open for this. (#64009)
Personally, I'm not keen on the idea.
the only way which we can do this is by detecting which arch we are

Hi All,
Apologies for posting my question to such lists, but it hits the exact
audience I'm after a response from :)
Does anyone at work run Vmware ESX Server? If so, could they please get
in touch with me so that I might talk about experiences?

This tracks linux-mod installed kernel modules, and also gives you the
ability to remove/add/toggle the list of modules to rebuild.
Basically.. following a kernel upgrade running: module-update rebuild,
will install all modul
Hi all,
For some time now kernel-mod has been deprecated in favour of linux-mod
(or linux-info in some cases).
linux-mod is much tidier, accurate, and portable. Most of our ebuilds
have already been migrated to using the new eclass, but the following
still remain.
