It's all speculation at this point. But there are _several_ factors. But I'm sure the first time Intel saw AMD's x86-64/PAE52 presentation, the same thing popped into my mind that popped

They are _not_ commodity and pricey, and require OS-level support. In fact, I believe Linux 2.6 has some support for

I've been planning to build a dual Opteron server for awhile. I'd like to get people's suggestions on a suitable motherboard. I've looked at the Tyan K8SE (S2892) and K8SRE (S2891) but would like to find more Linux-specific experiences with these boards. Some features I expect are at least 4 SATA (SATA-300?) ports, serial console support in the BIOS, USB 2.0 and IEEE-1394

Well other than the name, it does not have anything in common with DVD because IIRC it's a Magneto Optical drive ... totally different Tech. Paul

While I know that, technically, the only i586 machines are the Pentium and Pentium MMX, it is still nice that I can use some headless AMD K6/2 machines I have lying around for CentOS 4.

This is a question for you guys out there that have a bunch of similar configured systems out there... How do you handle your updates? I do not mean the technical level, but from the logistics. No updates? Just run yum by cron and grab the latest of the web and trust the developers that it works? Deploy only certain packages automatically (i.e. omit kernel updates)? run your own

I've been trying to get my head around using matrices in calls to .C(). As an exercise I wrote some code to calculate the product of two matrices. (Well, it makes it easy to check if one is getting the right answer!) After obtaining some advice from a Certain Very Wise Person at Oxford, (to find out how to deal with array indexing in C functions called from elsewhere) I wrote the following

I've updated CentOS 4.0 to 4.1 on several machines (some desktops, some servers). However on my laptop, update is failing with following error just after headers are downloaded: --> Running transaction check --> Processing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.3.4-2 for package: glibc --> Finished Dependency Resolution Error: Missing Dependency: glibc-common = 2.3.4-2 is needed by package

He sent a multipart message, with a "text/html" section and an equivalent message in "text/plain". Other than a little extra bandwidth, I don't think anyone minds multipart messages.

Hello all, Well, my local mirror now has CentOS 5.6! Yay! But, I cannot get it to install. A "yum update" and a "yum --skip-broken" yields me this: --> Processing Conflict: firefox conflicts xulrunner >= 1.9.2.14 --> Finished Dependency Resolution firefox-3.6.13-2.el5.centos.i386 from installed has depsolving problems --> firefox conflicts with xulrunner

Okay, my responsibilities at school have recently eased up a bit, and I might have some actual free time over the coming months. So I'd like to volunteer my services to write some needed documentation, tutorials, FAQs, etc. I am "fluent" in C and C++ and am not bad at Perl. I have been told I'm good at explaining things. I am anal-retentive about grammar, syntax, and

I''m trying to install xen-3.0.4 from source on a debian sarge (3.1r4) box with dual AMD-64 processors (with the new HVM support, although I don''t think that''s got anything to do with the problem). I installed only the packages necessary to compile xen and its kernel(gcc, make, bzip2, bridge-utils, etc). In the source directory, I ran ''make world &&
