OK, enough is enough. As proposed earlier, I vote for
immediate moderation of the poster on a first such offence,
followed by banning on a repeat offence. I realise that
this is some work for the moderator.

Regards,
Gora

[ilugd] GlusterFS 2.0 Release

2009-05-14 Thread Shehjar Tikoo
Hi Folks!

GlusterFS is a clustered file system that runs on commodity
off-the-shelf hardware, delivering multiple times the scalability and
performance of conventional storage. The architecture is modular,
stackable and kernel-independent, which makes it easy to customize,
install, manage and support different operating systems. Multiple
storage systems can be clustered together, supporting petabytes of
capacity in a single global namespace.  Building a configuration of a
few hundred terabytes can be accomplished in less than thirty minutes.

GlusterFS 2.0 Release:
GlusterFS v2.0 has gone through a major revamp in design and
development since v1.3. Thanks to thousands of initial users who
provided us great feedback and bug reports. There are a number of
production deployments now. GlusterFS uses existing disk file systems
(such as Ext3, XFS, ZFS..) to store your data as regular files and
folders. You can restore the data, even after you uninstall GlusterFS.
So, give it a try and let us know. Please forward this message to
relevant users.

What is in 2.0 release:

Happy Hacking

  What's the easiest way to read PDFs with embedded comments
  (created with Acrobat Professional) on GNU/Linux? Evince (the

  not show the text. For the time being I am using PDFEdit to
  manually navigate the tree and extract the comments but it is
  *very* inefficient and time consuming. Evince has the ability to
  read/edit comments in its roadmap but I need a solution now.
 
  See if kword will show you the comments.  Not exactly a PDF reader,
  though.

 I like to stick to Gnome so no KWord. I did try openoffice though
 with ghastly results.

 Actually you can install KWord on any machine that has X.  KWord != KDE.


The Epilogue: I finally took the plunge and downloaded Kubuntu 9.04 so
that I can try out KWord. But would you believe it, I don't really
need to use KWord - Okular works perfectly! So I suggest other people
in the same situation use Okular. Hopefully someone will add the same
functionality into Evince sometime soon.

On a related note: KDE might not be as stable and smooth as Gnome
right now but application wise it is showing potential! Installing the
kdegames package brings in some of the nicest timepass (non FPS) games
I have seen. One of my laptops is now permanently moved over to KDE.

Er, could you change that to: KDE on Ubuntu might not be as stable and 
smooth as Gnome right now?  I've been using KDE 3.5 on Debian (with 
Compiz and all effects!) for donkey's years now, and I can't remember 
when I last had a stability or smoothness issue.  OTOH KDE4 is still a 
pretty buggy piece of software from all accounts -- for myself, I 
actively discourage people from using it.
