What is the status of IPv6 by your ISP, by your Web hosting service, by your E-mail provider? 2. Is it feasible TODAY to switch all your home/office network and its Internet connections to IPv6 and drop altogether any IPv4 use? If not, why? 3. What (if any) tunneling services are available if you want to access IPv6-only resources in the open Internet? -- Did you shave a yak today?

Links and some info about "IPv6 in Linux" lecture in Herzelinux yesterday (6.11.08)
Hello, As I promised, here are some links and some additional info about "IPv6 in Linux" lecture, which was given in Herzelinux yesterday (6.11.08) by me: 1) The article about IPv6 I wrote, which was published in linuxdevices two days ago, is here: http://www.linuxdevices.com/articles/AT7843301253.html 2) Slides for today IPv6 lecture are available in tuxology web site are here: http://tuxology.net/lectures/ipv6-in-the-linux-kernel/ 3) Network namespaces and sysfs: This issue was raised at the end of the lecture. For those who wonder what is the tagged sysfs patch and what it has to do with network namespaces and why it was dropped, here is a short explanation and links: The problem with network namespaces is that when using some processes, each with its own network stack (using network namespaces), it causes a problem regarding sysfs; the reason is that one process has, for example, /sys/class/net/eth0 entry, but a second process, with a different namespace, can also have a (different) /sys/class/net/eth0 entry. The entry /sys/class/net/eth0 has an important data :flags, statistics, and other parameters which are unique for each process with a different network stack. A solution for it was proposed by tagged sysfs, and patches were sent already in August 2008. They were accepted into GregKH tree, but as I said, recently GregKH announced that they are dropped because of a BUG. In this thread in LKML (Linux Kernel Mailing List), GregKH talks about dropping the sysfs patch from his tree: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=122318517411596&w=2 the patch is: driver-core/sysfs-implement-sysfs-tagged-directory-support.patch see also: "Sysfs and namespaces" article in: http://lwn.net/Articles/295587/ 4) The links to the two vpn solutions I mentioned (and do not appear in the slides) are: http://www.openswan.org/ http://www.openvpn.org/ Best Regards, Rami Rosen = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[CALL FOR LECTURES] Tickless Kernel/CFS Scheduler
Hello All, Two topics are calling for a lecture which exposes the internals (and guts) of the new Linux: *Tickless Kernel - how was it done? What are the mechanisms available inside the kernel? What is expected of userspace programs? What should a user do to make the best usage of a tickless kernel (powertop? anything else?). *Completely Fair Schedule - Ingo Molnar's (yet new) scheduler. I remind you of Erez Hadad's lecture at Haifux about Ingo Molnar's O(1) scheduler, which brought a record attendance (for the time) of 36 people. Let the person who knows his/her kernel rise to the stage and speak! Thanks, Orna. = To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
efficiant debian backup
After i was able to "ghost" my ntfs partitions, using ntfsclone, i wanted to backup my linux partitions also so i thought: whouldn't it be nice if there was a backup utility, which can find which file is part of a package (via dpkg) and not back it up at all, than if i have a disaster, i could just reinstall all packages i have, and restore from backup. to get my old system back. this will reduce the backup process bigtime ! thank i thought: myabe someone already thought of that .. did anyone see such a utility ? thanks, erez.
