Slightly OT: bad rap for Fedora, and realistic effects
by Arthur Pemberton
Well I'm not sure how many of you all have seen this:
http://linux.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=07/02/22/207231
And this may or may not be the correct -list for this, but here goes.
I think its fair to say that a lot of the louder voices on the
internet do not like Fedora for fair and unfair reasons. My question
is what does this do to Fedora, and RedHat by association. I can't
imagine that anything good is coming of this. All the developers here
are bound by the 24hr daily limit, ie. there is a finite amount of
work that any developer can accomplish, esp. those not being paid to
work on Fedora. Making the assumption that all these negative word of
mouth is bleeding Fedora of contributors, then what's the plan?
A few loyalist bound by the laws of Physics can only accomplish so
much, and I'm even more worried that the bad karma trickles down to
RedHat, who I believe is the Cinderella of the Linux community - one
day I hope to be in the position to purchase RHEL licenses, but I'm
becoming worried that it may not be around by time I get there.
Peace

Filesystem problems
by Dan Track
Hi
I've got a server with 59G /opt partiition. Currently df -h reports
that I'm using 59G, however if I run "du -hs" on /opt the size of the
indidivaual dir's sitting in /opt are much smaller and don't sum up to
59G. So my question is what is making the server think that more disk
space is being used?
Any help would be appreciated.
Kind Regards

RAID 0+1 on Fedora?
by Jack Howarth
Has anyone tried setting up a four drive RAID 0+1
on Fedora Core using the installer tools for setting
up custom drive partitions? After doing some benchmarks
on a new dual quad core Xeon system, it has become
apparent that at 8 processors certain calculations
that thread well can show a disk i/o bottleneck
so it might be worth exploring striping my mirrors
with a RAID 0+1. However, I am unclear on how well
tested the linux software raid support (and installer
setup tools) are for such a configuration.

Jumping mouse pointer - FC5
by Clodoaldo Neto
In FC5, gnome desktop, the mouse pointer jumps randomly to one of the
screen borders at each minute or two when I'm moving it. Tried with
two PS2 mouses and one USB mouse.
How could I investigate it further?

Conflict with installing RKWard
by Paul Smith
Dear All
RKWard seems to be a nice gui for R. Its site has the address
http://rkward.sourceforge.net/
I have compiled it from the tarball and created a rpm, but getting the
following conflict when trying to install it:
«Transaction Check Error: file /usr/share/apps/katepart/syntax/r.xml
from install of rkward-0.4.6-1 conflicts with file from package
kdelibs-3.5.6-3.fc6»
Any ideas? Is there somewhere a ready rpm without the above problem?
Thanks in advance,
Paul

More on swap.
by Aaron Konstam
Yesterday in answer to the question as to how much swap is needed it was
suggested to read the article at:
http://www.redhat.com/magaszine/001nov04/features/vm/
Well this is an interesting article but it tells one nothing about swap
fits into the virtual memory structure for the 2.4 kernel in this case.
Unfortunately , it is sort of complicated and as other people have said
how much swap you need depends a good deal on what you are doing. Swap
is an concept whose name was incorrectly borrowed from the OLD 370 and
360 IBM systems and to understand how it fits in to the VM system of the
Linux kernel you need to read books like, "Linux Kernel Development,
Second Edition", by Robert Love.
In many cases you can run a Linux system without swap.

Saving the "Frequency Scaling Monitor" applet settings between boots
by Michael Wiktowy
Hello list,
This is a repost since I received no replies from my inquiry last
time. Maybe no one knows or it is impossible. I have dug through gconf
and found a key named applications->panel->applets->applet_0->prefs
that looks like the controls for the appropriate applet but the
setting I want doesn't seem to be there. I am just looking for a
little guidance.
Original post:
I recently updated my old laptop (850 MHz Dell) to FC6 from FC5. It
seems that FC6 is a bit more demanding of it such that while before it
could scale back to 700 MHz and things would work fine, now I need to
pin it at 850 MHz. The CPU Frequency Applet will allow you to do that
by setting the Governor to "Performance" or just setting the Frequency
to 850 MHz but this setting isn't kept between reboots. Is there a way
to save this setting so I don't have to keep resetting it each time?
Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks,
/Mike
