code review / process flow tool?

by Bill Mills-Curran

My org at work would like to adopt some software tools to manage the code review/approval work cycle. A web-based interface is our first choice. We have both linux and windows web servers available. Any recommendations for existing tools? (We could write our own, but that seems like a waste of time.) Thanks, Bill

Heavy load app for linux

by Mike Leo

Anyone have a app that would put a heavy load on cpu and memory for burn in/testing for linux? I have one called "heavy load" for windows that pushes cpu/memory/disk drives as hard as they will go. We just had an odd server issue and HP replaced random parts till it went away. Before using it, i would like to run it through some tests. thanks mike

Re: [Wlug] System hang woes continue

There should be settings in your bios main screen for 'Load setup defaults' or 'Load Failsafe defaults' The setup defaults are pretty conservative, but the failsafe is barebones On 10/29/05, Keith Wright <kwright(a)free-comp-shop.com> wrote: > > > From: "John Stoffel" <john(a)stoffel.org> > > > > Bummers, I've been thinking about going the opteron route as well with > > a dual box like this.

Re: [Wlug] Need help: palm -> laptop

by Walt Sawyer

Thanks! That gets me a little bit further. After verifying the device exists, I chmod to get permission for /dev/pilot (which is ln'ed to /dev/ttyUSB0). Now when running the gnome-pilot setup, the palm connects, but the setup app doesn't see it. Again, thanks for your help! It's gotten me a little closer to the goal!

ls -la /dev/ttyUSB0 verify that the device exists there, and that you have read/write permissions. I use gentto, so I'm not sure how fedora handles devices.
