[techtalk] Desktop OS?

Hi folks, I don't want to start a flame war, but ask a serious question. This is not a troll! I promise. I've been running various strains of Linux on my laptop for about 6 months (Tried RH, then spent several months using Linux-Mandrake, now I'm on Progeny Debian), and although I've *loved*

[techtalk] Rotating apache logs

David, Sorry to be reqponding so late here, but even late, I feel I need to suggest using cronolog to rotate you apache logs rather than cron + logrotate. (http://www.ford-mason.co.uk/resources/cronolog/) Cronolog has worked really well for us. When we used log rotate we had problems if our s

Someone asked when the cutover was for the list move. Um.. been and done. I can't use @linuxchix.org to reach the old lists anymore. The DNS has been changed, and as the change propogates, each of you will gradually find that the old site isn't accessible at linuxchix.org (but the new site is).
