Burning files that are too large

by Yves Glodt

Hi, I wonder if there is a way to burn a file that is slightly too big. E.g. putting a file of 710MB on a 700MB cd. The last 10MB being lost by this operation would not bother me too much as it's a divx. I have not found a way to do this with k3b... is there maybe a way using cdrecord directly? Thanks and regards, Yves -- Linux 2.6.11.10 #1 Wed May 18 17:50:55 CEST 2005 i686 00:30:30 up 2 days, 4:57, 1 user, load average: 0.71, 1.32, 1.26

Which "Enterprise" Linux?

by Patrick Useldinger

I have a question for all of those who use Linux at work. I am aware that there are 2 major "enterprise" distros which are of course RedHat and Novell/SuSE. Besides those, Mandriva, Ubuntu and especially SunJDS all have commercial offers. But which distros are _really_ used (on servers) here in Luxemburg, or in Europe? Is RedHat also dominant here? Do companies always go for commercial solutions, or are the non-commercial ones catching up (I heard of Debian being used on a major site in Luxemburg, and also being used in Munich)? If so, how is support organised? The point of my question is not to find out what one should use at work, but what is actually used, i.e. what decisions companies have taken in the past. I suppose it is best not to mention the companies explicitely. Thanks for your input.

Switch

by Alex

Hi I have to test a switch UNDER traffic, to find out, which ports don't work. But I don't know how. I do not want to use 24 PC's on 24 ports, but I have enough network cards. What do I do to simulate traffic on each port??? Any idea?? (udpcast??) Does anybody know such a project?? -- Thanx for the fish <°(((((-< Al

speed up Mozilla & Firefox page download & rendering

by Patrick Useldinger

Just read this and thought you might be interested. In about:config, - Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true" - Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true" - Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 20. This means it will make 20 requests at once (although I also read than 8 was the max). - Right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives. On my Mozilla 1.7.8 with an ADSL line, the differences are noticable.
