On Wednesday March 21st 2007, I will be presenting an informal session on iSCSI and Global Filesystem (GFS). We will go over a few slides to cover the topics and then we'll proceed with a live demonstration using Fedora Core 6 (FC6).

Apparently, I'll be talking about DM/MPIO too.

Attendance is open to the public free of charge. Time and location can be found at the Boston Linux & UNIX (BLU) homepage.

All of us here at Linuxsoup.com (all of one), have been reviewing the possibility of converting to Drupal. At this time, our other site Bisque is running on drupal...

However, we have resolved to continue toying with & evolving Ladle. Since it's premise still stands true (to provide us with a educational test ground) it only makes sense. Thus, we'll be adding RSS capabilities soon & work deligently on improving adminstration interfaces.

I am currently investigating switching the backend of linuxsoup over to drupal. I have not made any developments to "ladle" in quite a while, and I can easily port the best features/plugins over. We will probably see those changes in the next 48 hours.

Once that is accomplished, I can focus on useful informative (Linux) & entertaining (snow) content.

Update (1/2/2007) : Cancel that! I'm resuming work on ladle.

My life / career is in rapid re-development. As a part of this process, linuxsoup is also undergoing some changes. Unfortunately, the DNS service was lost for about a week, but it appears I'm back in business... Stay tuned...

Happy to announce I have our Toshiba A75 S1253 mostly working on Fedora Core4 without any special hacks. General summary: Intel 3.2GHz Mobility HT, 256Mb (added another 512Mb), 60GB disk, CDRW/DVD-R, 802.11a/b/g wireless. Only thing missing is successfully rebooting with an init 6 (that still seems to get wedged at reset). I have read in several places the wierdness regarding Toshiba APCI funk.
INSTALLATION
use "linux vga=771". This will set the video to a suitable working mode during the install.
WIRELESS
You'll need to get the regular wired LAN working for this, but that is autodetected and works fine. Once it's up, add the madwifi rpms from livna repos. Make sure the manual external switch on the side is set to enable wifi. Once on, I just used the good old Fedora configuration tools. My current kernel is 2.6.14-1.1653_FC4smp
AUDIO
Using the GUI alsa mixer, I enabled "external amplifier" in the switches tab. If you don't see it, you need to flip it on in the preferences too. Also make sure the manual volume control on the outside of your system is turned up.
CPU SPEED
Put the following in /etc/cpuspeed.conf. This sets the right cpu driver, and sets minimum speed to 1.2GHz. 
DRIVER="p4_clockmod"

OPTS="$OPTS -m 1024000 -n"
Don't forget to add the "CPU Frequency Scaling Monitor" to your tool bar :-).
