by Subhodip Biswas 05 Sep '08

05 Sep '08

hi all ! have a look on this : " I was recently looking at the source of a wxPython-based GUI application, about 45.5KLOC in size, not counting the libraries used (e.g. Twisted). The code was written by Java developers who are relatively new to Python, and it suffers from some performance issues (like a 30-second startup time).

Md5sum Input/Output Errors Crash System
by Rony 03 Sep '08

03 Sep '08

Hello, I have downloaded the first 10 Debian Etch CDs and out of 10 ISOs, 2 or 3 had an md5sum problem. While the good md5 returns a proper checksum value, the bad ones return an Input/Output error. The problem is that when this error occurs, the link between the system and HDD is lost and no further commands are accepted as they need to be picked up from the HDD. The system blanks out and I have to force shutdown and reboot it. Yesterday I kept the Lenny live CD for download and its … [View More]
