Re: [nslu2-linux] Re: What happened to the nlsu2 repositories?

 

The native feeds are obsolete and exist no longer -- they've been empty
for a long time now. Basically, with optware we were able to get all
packages to cross-compile, so you should find everything in the
appropriate "cross" or "stable" feed.

Thanks. That was helpful. I'll look up the information on google.

It should work just fine. Servers are basically just computers with
better constructed components, that are designed for 24/7/365 operating
conditions.

Check the mainboard for the manufacturer and model number, and google it
to see if you can pull up the spec sheet.

Servers tend toward running high-end RAM, like Rambus or RAM with other
error-checking schema, so try to make sure the RAM you use is appropriate.

Some server mainboards are designed for specific backplanes, and will
require a server case of the 1U, 2U, 3U or 4U variety... will not fit
into a Desktop style case, and/or the holes for mounting the mainboard
will not line up with the holes in the case.

Also, the power supply might be an issue... it might not fit properly,
or at all. The power supply for my 1U SuperMicro servers would never fit
into a standard Desktop case.

On the up-side, operating systems designed specifically for servers,
like the BSD OS's, will probably install and run well on a mainboard
designed for a server.

You might run into trouble if you try running high-end video or audio
cards on a server board, though... might not have driver compatibility.

[nslu2-linux] Re: Requests for Netatalk 2.2.0 & compat w/ 10.7 Lion, BDB libdb w/ compat185...

 


@ sebastian : thanks for putting that in. I made a minor change, in Netatalk-2.2.0-2, so that dhx2 and some others are there in UAMS...

Both netatalk 2.2.0-1 (or 2.2.0-2) and libdb5 install OK, but
... those of us testing @ the tomatousb.org site are unable to get authentication to work as it should. Also, wondering about whether libdb5.2 is playing nicely w/ Netatalk... some issues w/ cnid.

Is anyone (besides me) working on the Optware project feeds an OS X 10.6 or 10.7 user?

[nslu2-linux] md5deep misses binaries

 

Hello,

I would like to notice that md5deep package <http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/cs08q1armel/cross/unstable/md5deep_3.9.1-1_arm.ipk> misses binaries for other ciphers (sha1deep, sha256deep, ...). Could you fix it, please?

Thanks,

I have a old desktop that quit on me and want to make a new computer with the existing parts with this server mother board and cpu's. I know it's a server board but that's just it, is it a bad idea using a server as a regular computer and can I use the existing parts on it?

You're sure about that? because I just reread their original post a few times to make sure and the line, "the best way to appreciate your handiwork is to start up a browser on another machine and punch in the IP address of your CentOS server" Is pretty ambiguous.

A lot of people only have one computer so if they were going to, "start up a browser on another machine" they'd likely have to do it at another physical location now wouldn't they? Which would imply some kind of Internet connectivity.

The way I read it makes two common assumptions 1 they only have one computer and 2 the best way to appreciate a web server is at a distance. But I can see how you're looking at it as well. I'm not so sure if that is such a good thing on my part, but I'll admit I can see it.

Because I do have 5 machines on my home LAN and I locally serve up a few pages off one. Why? I've no idea today but it seemed like a good idea at the time ...

Ignoring your usual inflammatory remarks, I did want to add that this
is a pretty neat site, especially if you, like many other people, dont
get a static IP from your ISP.

However, that will only tell you the IP address of your external
facing interface, so most likely your cable or DSL modem. In my case,
it's showing the IP address of the outbound port on my gateway router,
since my DSL modem is acting as a pure bridge.

The OPs original question was regarding the IP address of the machine
he just installed/configured Apache on, so ifconfig is most
appropriate there, unless his machine is sitting directly on the
internet, which we have no way of knowing based on the information
given.

>
> ifconfig says my IP is inet addr:192.168.1.4 and anyone that knows spit about the net knows that just can't be!

what are you doing on my LAN? ;-) This machine is currently using
192.168.1.10 and 1.11

I concur.

One thing worth considering, is that posting a valid, on-point reply to
a technical question (as opposed to posting a flamer) requires thought,
research, and time.

I know for a fact that Jeff, like myself, often replies on his
employer's dime... during work hours.

I also know that when I post to Yahoo lists on my employers dime, I wind
up working late, so that I am not stealing from my employer. I suspect
that Jeff, being a person of integrity, does the same.

I tend to either ignore or killfile people who get off-point, or behave
rudely on Yahoo Lists.
