What applications are you using? I've been running 2.5/2.6 for six months with no problems, but no nptl. On the desktop system, I use gads of stuff, including KDE, GNOME, enlightenment (which is my primary window manager), OpenOffice, Abiword, Gnumeric, gaim, evolution, samba, nfs, openldap, mysql, MozillaFirebird, etc. I'm running off of an nvidia card using the 4496 drivers, since they seem to work better than the 5528 or 5532 drivers. I haven't tried the 5536 drivers yet. On the internet system, it's a bit more stripped down, as it's a headless box with more specific purposes, and is running stuff like apache w/ssl,php,mod_perl, mysql, openldap, postfix, etc. As far as what I did when switching over to nptl in both cases, I first booted from a 2.6 kernel. Then I added the nptl USE variable, and did an emerge glibc. When that was done, I then did an emerge -e system. Then as stuff broke, I recompiled it as well. Some of the more notable things that I had to recompile were apache, mysql, php, and X (for the desktop). In the case of X, it wasn't broken to the point of not working, but it had become quite flaky. Since the recompile, it hasn't given me any trouble. Unfortunately, since I didn't run into any problems, I'm not very good at offering any troubleshooting advice. :) Hope this is the sort of thing you were looking for.

Re: Re[2]: [gentoo-user] squid
I'm also behind a modem *sigh* The machine that has the modem attached to it is running squid, and all other machines on the network (two other gentoo machines, and one WinXP machine) use the squid on the dialup machine for their proxy. I'm also using djbdns and have dynamic dns with dhcp running, so any machine can dhcp on the network, and automagically be able to get to the internet and see the other machines on the network via local dns name resolution. As far as squid making a difference, I can tell a _huge_ difference. Of course I'm also using adzapper in concert with squid so all banner ads and counters are blocked. This along speeds up page loading significantly. All the browsers are also using their local disk cache. If I turn off the proxy and have them directly connect to the internet, then there is a very noticable slowdown in page loads, so I think squid is helping quite a bit. I have my squid set up to use a crazy amount of disk space (hard drives are so cheap these days), and to hold large files more persistantly than smaller files. This is all configurable in the squid.conf file, which is _heavily_ commented. As far as memory goes, since the machine I have it running on isn't doing much anything else, I let it take a large slice of the available RAM, but keep in mind that even if it has to pull the cached content off the platters of the hard drive, that's still a _considerable_ speed up from having to pull that content through the modem.

It seems to be working fine here: Linux poo.home.local 2.6.0-test8 #1 SMP Sat Oct 18 20:16:43 EDT 2003 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) MP 2400+ AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux I'm using scsi emulation for my Plextor PX-708A, and haven't had any troubles burning under the 2.6.0-test8 kernel. ALSA seems to be playing nicely, and even the nvidia kernel module seems to be happy. I don't have ipv6, but that's just because I'm not really ready to start playing with it yet.

I had to remove ipv6 support in order to do it; not that that matters much but it may someday. Of course, even when I do get it to compile, it won't boot. Totally freezes when initializing scsi emulation for my cdrw. And 2.6.0_beta7 works so well on my computer...for one, I was finally was able to get sound and direct rendering working. r. -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list

Re: [gentoo-user] etc-update and fstab...
I don't know how feasible it'd be, but I think if the files that are getting updated could be contextually grouped that that could help quite a bit. So instead of having the list of 25 config files, there are sections A B and C where A is something like system files, be very careful here, B is startup files, you can safely update all of these, and C application files, depending on your configuration you may want to be careful here. The trick would be being able to select -5 for group B, then -3 for group C, and then hand walk group A, or some such combination. Anyway, just a thought. If this isn't doable with the current structure, feel free to toss it aside. Sean signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part
Re: [gentoo-user] spamassassin postfix msql virtual domains
For what it's worth I'm using a .forward to redirect to procmail, and then invoking spamassassin (as well as mail sorting) through .procmailrc. This seems to be working quite well.

Or is there a way to get postfix to use spamassassin without procmail. Look at this link [1], I think that's what you are looking for. Look into their files section, they have several handy scripts for Postfix there, one for using Postfix+SA as well.

Re: [gentoo-user] Kernel choice and ACPI
You might want to give the latest dev kernel a whirl ... I've had very good experiences with 2.5.74. Sean On Fri, 2003-07-04 at 00:29, Christian Aust wrote: Hi all, gentoo-sources 2.4.20-r5 is nice and powerful, but unfortunately has older ACPI sources which my laptop desperately needs (Compaq EVO N800C, acpi-only). So I'm wondering: Can I update/patch acpi of gentoo-sources to some version more current? I guess not, since those patches rely on the version of source code they are intended to be applied to. However, I also tried to use vanilla-sources 2.4.21 and apply the -ck3 patch. It builds and compiles seamlessly using gcc-3.2.2, but when this kernel starts, it panics when it tries to enumerate the LUNs of my IDE controller. The message reads wrong operand ; kernel bug in sched.c:1171 and then it halts. Can anybody please give me some advice on how I could fix this, either update acpi of gentoo-sources or fix that error of the ck3-patched vanilla-sources? Your help is greatly appreciated.

I use squid adzapper ... works quite well, and helps make webbrowsing from a modem a little less painful.
