Here's a chance for somebody to make a little money from your knowledge of free software. Along the way you might also impress your peers, but it's mostly just money.
At the office, we've been trying our hand at rolling our own User Mode Linux file systems, but without much luck. This is where the contest comes in. I'm sure there are some of you out there who are experts in all things UML. So, we'll give $50 to the first person that 1) creates a 2 GB UML file system that is apt-able (i.e., that you can install .rpm or .deb packages on, preferably with apt) and 2) submits an article to the UUG on how they did it. I don't know enough about setting up UML file systems to even know if what I'm asking for is even feasible or if I've explained it well, so if there are any questions please post them to the list so that everyone can get the clarification. The winner of the $50 will be the first person to post a link to their solution and howto. In the off chance that multiple people post winning solutions at the same time, the solutions will be judged on merit (i.e., ease of install, etc.). Happy hacking! -Brent ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
