I'm trying to make my blue Fn key combinations control by MPD server on the

The problem I have is that the Fn key combin
Hey guys,
I'm having some trouble with ntpd and my system clock. Every once and a while,
my system time is wrong. In the past (not having time to look into it), I've
just run ntp-client to correct it.
Turns out that ntpd is crashing and `date` reports the UTC time, but thinks
it's Eastern.

For a multitude of reasons, I'd like to get rid of skype. I've heard several
people mention jitsi, but was surprised to find that it's not in the portage
tree.
Is jitsi being actively maintained in an overlay somewhere? Are there plans to
put jitsi in the main tree?
Are there other other goo

Hey guys,
I'm planning to set up an SQL server for my dad's small canvas awning business,
and I've never done this before. Most of my sysadmin-type skills are
self-taught. I could use some advice.
My dad needs infrastructure to allow ~ 15 of his employees to schedule

Hey guys,
I have a nice set of speakers, but they aren't near my desk in my home office.
I used to carry them back and forth when I wanted good music, but that was a
pain. I currently have a RasPi running arch connected to the speakers -- I've
been cat-ing audio files over ssh to mplayer, and

Hi,
I'm a new gentoo user (coming from ubuntu). I've been proving to
myself that I can do everything I need with gentoo on a secondary
laptop, and after a few weeks, I think I've got it (svn repos, AVR
cross compiler, multiple screens, etc). I much prefer gentoo to
ubuntu, and would like to put
