Stuff in need of a good home

by Eric Martin

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 As some of you know, my fiancee and I just bought our first home. We are moving in two weeks and I'm trying to clean out some stuff from my basement. I have a Sun Ultra1 Sparc64 with 17" monitor, an additional graphics card, 2 internal drives and a 1GB external drive. I can't find the keyboard and mouse right now but I'm sure they 'll turn up. For all of you mac enthusiasts, I have a Beige Mac G3 (oldworld) with monitor, keyboard and mouse. I did get gentoo to run on it via bootx, and I might even be able to scrounge up CDs. Lastly (for the moment) is a Blue iMac G3 (new world) with keyboard and mouse. Email me off list, freak4uxxx(a)gmail.com if you are interested. I would like to get rid of this before Wed March 28th. Stuff is on a first come, first serve basis.

I also realize that many people will not see this email prior to the meeting. Unless we get lucky and something changes at the last minute, I propose that we meet outside of the Access Grid room and immediately adjourn the meeting to the pizza restaurant. I've made signs for the door to inform anybody who arrives late, and I'll post those when I get to WPI. There wasn't a speaker scheduled for this evening (but there will be a speaker in April...ask me!). I apologize for the late notice and any inconvenience this may cause you. All things considered, I think this is only the first (or maybe second) time in almost 10 years that this has happened...all in all, a very good track record!

Re: [Wlug] Apache2

Configuration changes. Porting your httpd.conf may be difficult.

If you have any mod_perl applications they might need to be ported.

Re: [Wlug] Apache2

by Adam Gomes

Sure, If you are using or planning on using php on your site, it's MUCH slower under apache 2 (statically linked OR DSO). Apache 2 is a bit faster at serving up static content, though. I haven't played with Apache 2 much myself, either, but I've heard that some of the other modules suffer some performance issues under Apache2. --Adam On Thu, March 8, 2007 2:34 pm, Michael Zarozinski said: > Does anyone know of any reasons *not* to upgrade to Apache 2.x from the > last Apache1 version (1.3.37)? > _______________________________________________ > Wlug mailing list > Wlug(a)mail.wlug.org > http://mail.wlug.org/mailman/listinfo/wlug >

Apache2

by Michael Zarozinski

Does anyone know of any reasons *not* to upgrade to Apache 2.x from the last Apache1 version (1.3.37)?

Re: [Wlug] Window manager problem

by Bruce Linnell

Andy, Eric, and Mike, Andy nailed it with "/opt/gnome/bin/gnome-wm". That got the manager back up, which, in this case was metacity, as Mike suggested. Once that was fixed I was able to continue and get xgl running so I now have the rotating cube desktop and other effects. Thank you all for the quick responses. Tux has happy feet again :-) Bruce
