Hardwares other than i386/amd64
by Kartik Mistry 06 Feb '08

06 Feb '08

Dear all, Some of us probably knows that Debian comes with more than 12 or more architecture support [1]. And, we traditionally only use either amd64 (AMD64 family) or i386 (Intel 32 bit processors) or powerpc (Mac is now on Intel processors). So, my question is where exactly other hardwares than these can be get from/within India?

I need debuging tool for both kernel and application.

[X Post] Call for Debian Installer testing, before D-I Beta1 release
by Kartik Mistry 05 Feb '08

05 Feb '08

Hi, Sorry for cross post but if anyone is brave enough to test and report latest Debian installer -- it will be very helpful for upcoming release, Lenny. ~ Kartik ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Otavio Salvador Subject: Call for Debian Installer testing, before D-I Beta1 release To: debian-boot Hello, We're starting the work for D-I Beta1 release and we would like ask to everyone to test the installer as much as possible, especially in not so common architectures where we receive less general testing. In the current timeline, we will stop to accept fixes for the installer in few days so any important issues need to be fixed _now_. You can find the latest installer, for your pet architecture, at http://www.debian.org/devel/debian-installer/ and if you find any issues file a installation report. Thanks in advance and let's make Lenny the best release ever made! Cheers, Otavio Salvador on behalf of Debian Installer Team -- Cheers, Kartik Mistry | 0xD1028C8D | IRC: kart_ blog.ftbfs.in | kartikm.wordpress.com

How to configure 2 CPUs on Fedora
by Neelesh Gurjar 04 Feb '08

04 Feb '08

Hi, I have Xeon Quad core processor server. And I have attached one more same processor to that motherboard. So now I have two processors on one motherboard. I have already installed Fedora Core4 on that. But after attaching new processor instead of getting fast its getting slow. Specially when samba user connects samba share or nfs clients connect nfs share it takes 2-3 or more for them. Is there any spacial configuration for second CPU ? or should i have to compile kernel ? -- Regards NeeleshG LINUX is basically a simple operating system, but you have to be a genius to understand the simplicity

Help with adding and tagging foss events in India
by Philip Tellis 03 Feb '08

03 Feb '08

Hello people, Some time ago, prompted by a thread on linux-india-general, I built a pipe to create a feed of foss events in India: http://pipes.yahoo.com/bluesmoon/foss_in_india What this pipe suffers from is lack of input data, so what I'm hoping for, is help from lugs around the country to create this input data. Doing this is fairly simple. 1. Add the event to http://upcoming.yahoo.com if it is not already there 2. Tag the event with the two tags "foss" and "india" You can do the same for barcamp style events, but use the tag "unconference" instead of "foss". Please spread the word, and help out Thanks, Philip -- hello world
