I finally got round to triple-booting my machine here at the weekend. RH9, Win98 or Debian Woody.
ruaok
nice.
How are you liking RH9?
djce
It's ok.
ruaok
Any major pitfalls with the ?.0 release?
djce
There was an odd thing where syslog, crond etc were running in the wrong timezone.
Which I hacked around.
ruaok just upgraded to 7.3 from 6.2 not too long ago.
Then a few days later it was fixed by "up2date".
I'd recommend all of 7.3, 8.0 and 9.0. No significant problems with any of them really.
ruaok
Cool.
I'll probably still wait for 9.1 at least. :-)

Anyway, now I've got another 40Mb of storage space to spill into. And a second spindle for a swap partition.
ruaok
I need a second spindle for my ext3 journals.
djce
I have NO idea about anything that advanced. I just install it all with the defaults and let it rip.
Maybe I should look into doing just that though.... might speed things up a bit.
Any ideas where I can learn about that?
djce reads "man tune2fs"
ruaok
I just got a clue by four from my friends.
Kevin, who wrote the search stuff for MB, is now working at friendster.
And very soon he will be an expert on server optimization.
And I get to pick his brain for MB. :-)
djce
Cool :-)
ruaok
My setup at home is totally fnorked.
I've got ext2 over a software raid1 on a 1.2ghz machine and it feels like my unraided ext3 700mhz machine at the office.
djce
oh dear. Time to freshen things up. One day.
ruaok
The suggested solution is to write the ext3 journals to a different drive and then use a long write ahead journal buffer and retard actual writes to the disk.
djce: When I go to remove a track from a CD, and then right after click on the 'View album mods', I get a blank page that says 'You have not entered any mods'. :-(
djce
No, the "view album mods" link is VERY limited.
It really only finds album name edits, album adds and album removes.
ruaok
Because of my crappy db structure?
Ahh.
djce
It's because the only real FK on "moderation" is artist.
That's why "view artist mods" works,
but "view album mods" doesn't.
I did try to make it look for track mods on that album too, but it turned out just to be really sllooooooow.
