Okay, I'm going to ask the gajillion-dollar question... I've been doing syslinux for 11 years now. From a very limited scope it has since grown and is now a very advanced boot loader. Unfortunately, it's not clear to me anymore to what extent the work I'm doing is useful. I personally dislike grub because of its monolithic design, and because the grub people have

I''m writing a wizard-like module in my application where, in a series of steps, the user builds upon an ActiveRecord object, and in the end, saves the AR object into the database. The ActiveRecord object is fairly complex, with a has_many association that could potentially get large, so I don''t want to store it directly in the session. In fact, having done so already caused a

Please test this prerelease if you have a system on which 2.13 works but 3.0x doesn't. It's based on some of the stuff I have iterated back and forth with Nazo. Huge thanks to Nazo for trying a gajillion experiments and being very prompt returning results. http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/boot/syslinux/Testing/ -hpa

Okay, as of this point, I think klibc is in quite good shape; my testing so far is showing that it can be used as a drop-in replacement for the kernel root-mounting code. That being said, there is guaranteed to be breakage, for two reasons: a. There are several architectures which don't have klibc ports yet. Since I don't have access to them, I can't really do them, either.

This is slightly off topic, and may just be tossing red meat to y''all, but here goes: My boss has RedHat coming in on Tuesday to give a spiel on RHN Satellite. I''m dubious, as it seems mostly like a web UI wrapped around a Yum repository system and a half-baked configuration management system. I''m of the opinion that our time and money would be better spent getting
