ipv6 question
by Michael Casey
Hi
I just want to ask one big question :)
If I would have an IPv6 address [home pc, behind a router - supporting ipv6
e.g.: openwrt, ISP gives ipv6], then I can see an IPv6 address with
ifconfig, on the PC e.g.: "Z"
So that's my "very unique address". - "Z"
Can that be "seen on the internet", the "Z" address? so anyone can ping me
from outside, or do an nmap?
Or are there private addresses what the router gives to my pc.: eg.: with
ipv4 a router could give 192.168.1.10... and that IP couldn't be
pinged/nmapped from outside (More Secure???)
Because I heard that there will be no NAT with IPv6?
What will happen to e.g.: a windows xp pc using IPv6? The "C$, D$....
shares" will be visible to anyone if they know the password?
sorry for the trivial question... :S :) and thank you for any answer

change display/screensaver timeout
by Dave Feustel
I would like to lengthen the timeout for the display/screensaver,
but I have not figured out how to do this. I am running xfce.
so Gnome and KDE options are not available AFAIK.
Suggestions?
Thanks.

Custom Fedora Remix
by Valent Turkovic
http://kernelreloaded.blog385.com/index.php/archives/fedora-remix/
In our local LUG we have been brewing a custom distro based upon
Fedora and Omega linux distributions. We also added a lot of
applications from many categories; like gps, astronomy, office and
multimedia software.
What makes it apart from distributions that it is based upon are these points:
# Much more pre-installed software
# Latest updated packages
# Bonus (proprietary) software (Skype, Flash…)
# Support for broadcom wireless chipset (via firmware)
# Multiple desktop environments: Gnome, KDE, Enlightenment, LXDE…
Why did we make this distribution? Because there are just too many
things missing by default in current Fedora. Due to laws in US and
because the software in question isn’t licenced under open source
licence Fedora can’t provide things like skype and flash that most of
users are just too depended upon and can’t work without them.
Any comments and suggestions are welcome, tell us what we are doing
wrong and how to make this distro better.

I have in the past 6 months bought two cheap graphics cards that I use
with the kmod-nvidia from rpmfusion and give pretty reasonable 3d
graphics performance - eg google-earth works just fine.
1) ZOTAC 256MB GEF FX5200 PCI
2) Asus 256MB 8400GS/Silent/HTP Passiv PCIe
These I bought from Amazon to get two old machines with integrated
Intel graphics working acceptably in F10. They were a) simple to plug
in and go, b) cheap, and c) did not need any additional power leads
plugging in. The first one has a very quiet fan and the second has
passive cooling so no fan at all! Note that one is PCI and the other
is PCI-e.
As others have already mentioned you need to check your motherboard
for which slots are available. Also note that both the above cards
have both digital and analogue outputs. I did spend a fair bit of
time researching these before I bought them but they have both worked
extremely well using the driver I mentioned above. Perhaps in the
fullness of time Nvidia will open up and allow open source 3d drivers
to be developed but in the meantime this is an easy solution for what
you appear to need.

Pulseaudio
by jarmo
Quite ironic.
Jun 2 09:18:37 oh1mrr pulseaudio[3148]: module-alsa-
sink.c: ALSA woke us up to write new data to the device,
but there was actually nothing to write! Most likely this
is an ALSA driver bug. Please report this issue to the
PulseAudio developers.
Someone posted similar to Pulseaudio developers,
answer was quite rude... This is alsa bug, go there to do
report.
So ball is on the air :D
Truth is, that pulseaudio system is not ready, tho I can
cope with it, just have to configure more than with plain
alsa system, for instance with flash etc...
Using two soundcards and lucky me, goth both working.
One is for Skype and second for common use.
This post is not any flamewar start, just info what seen
