Web hosting
by Mike Leo 12 Sep '07

12 Sep '07

I know this question has gone around a few times, but I don't keep all the emails i get! Anyway, i host a weak little personal web site out of my house and was looking into hosting companies. Not quite sure how it works, if I want linux/mysql/wordpress. I need more than just a place to hold my index.html. Are there companies that give me total control over a "server" on the internet? I say "server" 'cause my guess would be a virtual machine I could control remotely. Any advise would be greatly appreciated. Mike

Oh my gawd.. What do I do now?
by Ken Jones 07 Sep '07

07 Sep '07

I have a single 120 Gig hard drive dual booted XP and Fedora Core 6 machine. Recently Linux had been running slowly. I restarted, selected the linux side and was shocked to have it fail into a fix disk mode. It suggested that I use fsck. I did and answered "yes" to seemingly thousands of questions. Once finally done fixing errors I rebooted. Now it fails completely. It complains about multiple "dma-intr: error" and {uncorrectable error} The last gasp before terminating says: "not syncing: Attempted to kill init!" Then it hangs indefinitely. No keyboard input has any affect. The XP side of the machine works fine, but it crashes overnight. Where do I start? What do I do? Can I save the linux half of the hard drive? Ken Jones

EEProm Programmer
by Tom Misilo 07 Sep '07

07 Sep '07

Hey, I know this isn't completely linux related, but I was wondering if anyone happened to have any information on a Omni 64 EEPROM programmer.The Model is "Omni 64" And was manufactured by Oliver Advanced Engineering, Inc. (OAE). What I really want to do is be able to use the programmer to program some EEPROMs and make them boot eeproms for a few network cards so I can use LTSP (Thin Clients) on more computers I have and not have to attempt to boot from cd or floppy. Thanks, Tom Misilo -- Tom Misilo AIM:Tmisilo FL Jabber:tmisilo@jabber.org http://tmisilo.ath.cx
