kamil: That’s a cosmetic error. I haven’t yet worked out how to solve it.

Running apt-get(or aptitude) update gives a warning: “Conflicting distribution: http://www.coker.com.au lenny Release (expected lenny but got )”. However, it seems to download what it should. I have selinux up and running. Do you know what causes this warning?

Rob: I will write about some other Postal tests at my main blog (see the above URL).

The test was not contrived to abuse DNS, it was designed to simulate one aspect of mailing list performance.

This test seems contrived specifically to abuse DNS and test alias expansion performance, while avoiding the huge performance bottleneck of the queue process. In order to follow RFC, every file written to the queue is opened O_SYNC and brings with it horrible write performance. Try a 1:1 or a 1:3 relay test and watch performance tank.

No message store delivery numbers? :-)

Don: When I started working on free software development projects everything was based around emailing the output of diff. While there are now things like git, the majority of projects and the majority of developers still rely on using email with diff output.

While git is apparently doing a lot of good for the key kernel developers, I don’t think it’s a required technology.

Even with git, there are patch dependencies, for example every time I read one of Andrew Morton’s summaries it seems to include some patches being left out due to conflicts or dependencies.

Don’t forget distributed revision control systems. If you keep projects in git you’re less reliant on far-away data centers.

Comment on Computer Power Use by Albert Lash

This is a nice collection of information - the best rating I’ve seen is the PC Engines ALIX - 5 watts of power. A little slow when trying to use X11. One step up from there is the VIA C7.

I’m grappling with hard drives now - especially a RAID 5 system.
