Hi,
As some know, I'm planning to buy me a LARGE hard drive to put all my
videos on, eventually. The prices are coming down now. I keep seeing
these "green" drives that are made by just about every company nowadays.
When comparing them to a non "green" drive, do they hold up as good?
Are they a
Just thought I'd remind everyone to read their cups-1.5 elog when
upgrading from 1.4. It's necessary to either disable the "usb" USE
flag or disable USB Printer support in the kernel in order for USB
printers to work after the upgrade. I just figured that out this
morning after working on the pro

The bug
One of my systems is using OpenDNS:
# cat /etc/resolv.conf
nameserver 208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220
# cat /etc/conf.d/net
config_wlan0="192.168.0.2 broadcast 192.168.0.255 netmask 255.255.255.0"
routes_wlan0="default via 192.168.0.1"
and I can't figure out why. Does anyone know why this is happ
Try appending this into your /etc/conf.d/net
dns_servers_wlan0=208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220
with or without quotes and brackets I am not really sure.
dns_servers_wlan0=( "208.67.222.222 208.67.220.220" )
Hope this helps!

Hi there!
When you pause mplayer2 playing any kind of video, does its process also
use 100% of one of your cores? I think this is weird. I'm switching back
to mplayer.

I'm using big WD Caviar Green (WDxxEAxx) SATA HDDs for some years now in
my home 24/7 server, and haven't had any issues - they run cool and
low-noise, and the performance is good. Low power and heat was what was
important for me when choosing. HDD performance isn't an issue anyway,

Thanks. Another thing that happens to me only. I filed a bug about this:

Hello,

scripts and recognized the following error:
'dh_gencontrol' fails with missing File/FcntlLock.pm:
$> dpkg-buildpackage -b -d

My SB Live! 5.1 sang its last note finally, so I'm reverting to the

went to edit make.conf, I became confused on which of the following is
correct:
