I’m having some problems with X crashing on my Macbook which runs Debian:
From /var/log/Xorg.log:

And the segfault from dmesg:

After it happened, I decided to apt-get dist-upgrade, which turned out to be a bad idea ( I hadn’t had my coffee yet! ). First my keyboard was non-responsive, then my madwifi drivers were missing in action. Ooop! I did get it straightened out, but I think the X11 issue is still there.
This post from Mak is most welcome:
OpenVZ Debian Linux images
I’ve been hankering for the power-saving features of 2.6.24+ and the openvz stability of 2.6.18. Looks like 2.6.26 is the way to go! I’m also looking forward to having a distro I can manage and maintain for awhile.
Etch was released while I first became accustomed to Debian and its release process, so I wasn’t aware how much care is taken to stability. Inasmuch, I’ve been embracing testing and unstable for awhile. I’m eager to stick with lenny for at least a few years on my production servers. I’ll continue use testing and unstable on my desktop.
But anyway, back to VirtuaLenny, 2.6.26 is going to bring not only openvz to lenny, but also xen and kvm. I’m planning to build a xen machine very soon.
I had trouble tracking down the driver for this printer. I’m not sure if this model was discontinued or what, but we had a hard time connecting it to the network and are still unable to do so, even with the driver, which I finally found here. This download is strictly for Win 98/ME/2K/XP OS
This is very interesting…

I don’t want to start a flame war here. The benchmark is just one facet of the programming languages listed, but its interesting to look at and simple enough easily digest. For a more comprehensive analysis of programming languages, see the programming language benchmark shootout game.
In the timestretch benchmarks, lua comes in remarkably competitive with some heavy duty languages. Considering how free, lightweight, and simple lua is, I’m very impressed.
Its a great thing that mod_wombat is coming along, I’m very interested in making use of that when its ready. I should also note that LUA is also used with the new mysql-proxy server that’s in the works.
LUA might also be useful for routing tables, additional types of proxies, or rule set managers for in general. Think about more sophisticated firewalls, spam filtering / email organization, and load balancing. The rules for this stuff is usually written in an incredibly simple syntax, like key value pairs, or on the flip side, sometimes overly complicated regular expressions, and can be compiled into native code using C. That works very well for most cases, but if a little more “logical flexibility”, LUA might just be the answer.
