A Debian package a day keeps the ignorance away
I have set up a service that publishes the name and description of a different Debian GNU/Linux package every day. My goal is to encourage people to explore Debian more and discover great software they might not know was there (with over ten thousand packages, it's easy to overlook a few gems). It is implemented using a LiveJournal free account called debaday (sounds Australian to me now). Please feel free to pass this information on to other groups you think may be interested. Anyone can read an HTML version of the current postings at: http://www.livejournal.com/users/debaday/ The service is also freely available as as RSS feed at the following URL: http://www.livejournal.com/users/debaday/data/rss Information about the service and how you can suggest packages to add to the playlist can be found on the debaday userinfo page at: http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=debaday If you're a LiveJournal user, you may simply add debaday to your reading list (i.e., friends list) with the following link (you must be logged into your LiveJournal account): http://www.livejournal.com/friends/add.bml?user=debaday -- Andrew B.

Re: Donations to Debian???
How about giving to SPI? http://www.spi-inc.org/donations On Thu, 6 Jun 2002, Tom Allison wrote: But I feel that it is important that I make some contribution to the Debian group by making some kind of donation to the core Debian.org from time to time.

Re: Quick question on controllers
I personally like the 3ware cards. I've had stability problems with certain cards that promised (*cough*) to do better. I just installed four pair of 3ware's 7850's in four machines and they work great. Plus, if you go with the 7410 and later decide you do want RAID, you're all set to go. Keep in mind that RAID 5 on the 7410 will be s-l-o-w. Instead you would want the 7450. On Thu, 30 May 2002, Mike Dresser wrote: 4 x 160 Gig Maxtor D540X133's. Not going to be using raid. Using these to store disk images, so speed isn't really an issue, only reliability and stability under 2.4.x Here's my options so far: 2 x Promise Ultra133TX2's or 1 3ware 7410? -- Andrew B.

Debian expert, Irvine, CA (was: Q: How to find people with Debian skills)
My original question (below) prompted a bit of a discussion regarding what the appropriate forum for posting job advertisements should be. With respect to the comments made in that discussion, I will not use the Debian mail lists to advertise for a Debian expert in the Irvine, CA area. The debian-user list is clearly not the place to look for Debian experts. http://addnorya.com/debian/job/ On Wed, 29 May 2002, Andrew Sweger wrote: I need to locate individuals in the Irvine, California area with Debian skills for hire.

Re: woody installation problem
Ditto. I have consistently encountered this error with the 20020416 netinst image for the last week or so. At first, I thought it was a bad installer. However, I also get the error Malformed Release when using the 20020215 netinst image which had been working just fine previously. This is when using either http.us.debian.org or a local mirror. So far, it's been a head scratcher. Is the dists/woody/Release file really malformed (that's the one it chokes on)? Beats me. All of my machines continue to perform apt-get update/upgrade/install just fine. I just can't build new ones right now. I haven't really dug into the issue, so I don't have anything helpful to contribute.
