That is pretty cool! I have often thought of doing the same but for FTP, I bet that wouldn't be too hard and I wouldn't be sirprised if it existed allready. Thanks for the link.

Something very cool...

by Keller, Tim

I just saw this on one of the other lists I'm on and I'm testing it out and it seems to work. http://shfs.sourceforge.net/ It lets you mount a remote filesystem over an SSH link. ala mount -t shfs root@someserver /mnt/localmntpnt Very cool. Tim.

Ummm... that too. A binary-only driver has a wiked short shelf-life. Unless you talk driver source code out of them, or never upgrade your kernel (once you finally get it working), this will be a pain in your ass forever. -Chuck

1) do you have usb support in your kernel? 2) do a dmesg | tail and see if the kernel is catching the device being plugged in. -----Original Message----- From: Clint Moyer [mailto:cdmoyer@charter.net] Sent: Wednesday, February 11, 2004 10:48 AM To: wlug(a)mail.wlug.org Subject: [Wlug] Hi.

First, did you drop them into /lib/modules/whatever and run "depmod -a"? You'll need that to figure out the dependencies, so that modprobe can auto-load dependent modules. Second, if you have the kernel source, you can search for the names of the unresolved symbols and find out what drivers provide them. -Chuck

Seriously, if you can't get a stock install of the claimed compatible distributions to work, how long do you think the company will continue to update the binary-only drivers for future kernel releases/distributions?

Setiathome is a good distributed program http://www.setiathome.com as well as gimps (can't remember the url). Seti is the Search for ExtraTerrestrial Life(be verry verry quiet, I'm hunting for aliens, huhuhuh). And GIMPs is the Great Internet Marsene Prime search (so we can keep having better encryption and such).

My name's Carlton and I figured this is probally the best place to post this note. My friends and I have recently got distcc working (a distributed compiler using gcc-3.3.2). We've currently got 7 (maybe 8?) computers running the distcc daemon right now. Basically, when any one of us compiles something the processess are distributed amongst the computers on the network running distcc. So, my question is, is anyone interested in joining our little group? I figure the more linboxes the merrier. We are also in the process of setting up a couple of G5's with cross compiling on distcc so any Mac guys out there are welcome to (but Linux/BSD guys are most welcome ^_^). Feel free to reply, sageman(a)wpi.edu, if you are interested. We are also looking at getting some other stuff distributed if at all possible but really haven't started looking anywhere yet. If anyone else some ideas of possible distributed software we can run, that information would also be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

I have two machines using Gentoo that also have distcc servers running on them. I also have a couple other friends that also use gentoo and would like to use a larger distcc network.
