Adam ....

  The number of hours per year that you used   in your calculation seems a bit high ....

      hours_per_day = 24

      days_per_year = 366

      hours_per_year = hours_per_day * days_per_year

      print '\n ' , hours_per_year

You reported that legacy pty support is turned off in the new kernel. That is one change from the old setup. And someone reported that his xterm works fine with non-legacy pty, but yours apparently does not. Why don't you check if you have a working non-legacy pty system or not? $ stat /dev/ptmx $ mountpoint /dev/pts

The Stable release of Debian is "stable" meaning that the packages are not changed nor updated unless there is an important reason to do so such as security vulnerabilities. The version of iproute released with Debian Stable Etch has not had any security advisories against it and therefore has not needed a new version. If you look at the bleeding edge version in Sid you will see that it has been getting newer changes. Here is the changelog for the version in Unstable / Sid. http://packages.debian.org/changelogs/pool/main/i/iproute/iproute_2007031= 3-1/changelog

It is still considered the tool to use as far as I know. Here is an alternative reference that also discusses it. http://www1.shorewall.net/Shorewall_and_Aliased_Interfaces.html
> Or is it just that so few people use it it's not part of the base system?
I assume that it is not in the base system because it is not actually required on all systems. Systems that do not have network interfaces will not need this for example. It would seem reasonable to lobby to have the debian-installer install this by default when a network interface is detected. Or possibly to have it added to one of the tasks so that aptitude will install it by default at system installation time. But I don't think it needs to be forced onto all systems.

I think direct answer to your question has been answered :-) Here is the twisted one for back up. The way you do only gives you single level backup. Please consider making use of git (git-core package). Then you get nice history with gui (gitk). http://wiki.debian.org/DRData?action=show#head-386c7f05861f6cebf5eae046652c2ac25a8f1ddf If you are making timed backup with plain cp, you can do it with find while using prune to avoid stepping on your own backup. http://localhost/Wiki/DRData?action=show#head-386c7f05861f6cebf5eae046652c2ac25a8f1ddf

Debian's Xen kernel is the same as Debian's normal kernel, but with xen patches also. So Debian's Xen kernel contains the same security patches as the non-xen kernel.

Most likely not as xensource distributes only an old kernel with xen patches, and does not keep it up to date with security patches as debian's kernel team does. It's one of the main reasons why you'd use your (OS) vendor's Xen kernel rather than xensource's.

If you're using x86 (and not x86_64) then you need the PAE hypervisor. You could compile a custom kernel that is not PAE, and then use the non-PAE hypervisor, but that sounds like a lot of effort for not very much gain.

Personally I either ignore the message or remove the modules. It's pointless trying to load modules for which there is no hardware. Maybe there is a more elegant solution, but finding it is far down my list of priorities at the moment.

I'm sorry that I cannot answer your question, but I would recommend that you not use loop devices at all for xen, and instead do LVM volumes or tap:aio.

The best way to solve this problem is: 1. Set your sources.list to a good mirror. That is, my /etc/apt/sources.list has this line: deb ftp://10.65.0.42/debian stable main contrib non-free 2. apt-get update 3. apt-get install g++ That's all!

You can do a : apt-get install build-essential and it should grab everything you need. The build-essential package is meant for , building packages, but it does grab all the requirements for compiling apps. -+- 8 out of 10 Owners who Expressed a Preference said Their Cats Preferred Techno.
