Or this is already done and I didn't know ? > Thanks. My apologies in entering this thread very late. Regarding Bittorrent: Bitorrent requires a separate instance and a separate port for every file that you are sharing. When some people will be sharing hundreds of files this is simply not a workable approach. Bittorent is optimized towards dealing with a small number of large files under very high (initial) demand situations. Our needs are a little different, we are dealing with large number of much smaller files under moderate demand and without the initial spike in demand. P2P in general: The content of the network needs to be tightly controlled. We are dealing with source code here and the consequences of someone being able to inject malicious code or malicious files into the network would be unthinkable. Therefore ALL files on the network MUST be vetted by a central server, and ONLY files allowed by the central server would be allowed on the network. All files transfered over the network MUST be checked to make sure that they match the checksums of the authorized files. As far as I know there are no p2p networks that allow this much central control, the trend in p2p networks is away from central control because of liability issues. I am in the process of writing a p2p system specifically for gentoo that will have the necessary controls in place to make it safe for distrubuting source code. It will be optional and controlled by the FETCHCOMMEND= setting in make.conf I also want to create a network that is 100% legal content so that when the RIAA or MPAA goes on a rampage we will be unaffected. - -- Fred Van Andel [EMAIL PROTECTED] GPG KeyID: 76526AD599455482 GPG fingerprint: 64E4 4BAB 9C99 D565 3E3C F5D0 7652 6AD5 9945 5482 -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.2.2 (GNU/Linux) iD8DBQE/ek1rdlJq1ZlFVIIRAg54AJ40m06cRHu0F1/GYSA374fq0TZ7YgCfVq8l rHXt1j3FG47MFsGumjx4mic= =GUqZ -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

I have some misgivings about that. I like to ask open ended questions because then I make sure that I can see all the responses rather than only some preselected ones. I have gotten significant responses to open ended questions that I would have never thought to put on a preselected list. If the poll was in the newsletter I expect I would be swamped by not 50-100 responses but rather hundreds responses. It can take a lot of time to go through each one when dealing with open ended questions. GWN is published in other locations as well such as lwn.net and others. I want to ask questions to the gentoo user community, not the larger Linux community. If the Linux community gets involved the views of the gentoo community could get lost in the noise. I don't post the questions in gentoo-dev or gentoo-core either because they are not the audience I am trying to learn about. Final note: I am a gentoo developer, but this poll is not an officially sanctioned activity.

[gentoo-user] Gentoo Poll #2
This is the second posting of this poll. There has been a somewhat lackluster response so far, probably since I posted on the weekend so I am going to try again. This is the second gentoo poll. The question is: Why did you choose gentoo? Please try to keep the answer fairly general to make it easier for me to summarize, because if you dont I will have to. Please respond by emailing your reply to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Please do NOT reply within the mailing list, any replies to the list will be not be counted.

[gentoo-user] Gentoo Poll #1 results
Gentoo poll #1 received votes from 82 people. The first vote came literally less than two minutes after the poll was posted. A few people voted on the list and not to the email address provided, those votes are not counted. The question was: What operating system were you using BEFORE you used gentoo? Multiple answers from people were accepted and counted in the total. Many people wrote in 3 or 4 operating systems and one wrote in over 30. In the case of multiple choices each choice was only counted if someone else also voted for the same OS. Here are the results.

If you want security from a major governmet I suggest 3des, it is very slow but very well understood. For anything else I would suggest aes or one of the fishies, they are fast but not as well studied as 3des and may contain weaknesses that we dont know about yes.

Dont mess with iptables directly unless you know exactly what you are doing. You are much better off using a configurable script such as gshield (in net- misc) or one of the other firewalls in net-firewall. Cant help you with pppoe though.

I can top that. Last Friday instead of typing chown -R staff.staff * >from the /pub directory, I did it from the root directory and changed the ownership of every file on the system. Needless to say nothing worked quite right after that. Fortunately the machine hadn't gone into service yet so I was able re reinstall without to much problem.
