VeriSign Changes DNS Servers: No ASCII Needed http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/02/02/066207

    An anonymous reader points to this [0]story at The Register and this     one [1](in French) at news.yahoo, writing "VeriSign has made changes to     the root DNS so that they handle non-ascii names (for .com and .net).     Furthemore, an erroneous lookup results in getting a VeriSign IP, not     an error message." An excerpt: "The IAB [Internet Architecture Board]     feels that the system VeriSign had deployed for .com and .net contains     significant DNS protocol errors, risks the further development of     secure DNS, and confuses the resolution mechanisms of the DNS with     application-based search systems."

Quickly Filling Up 150GB of Legal Media Files? http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=03/01/31/2134218

    Fred Nowicki asks: "If you have ever used the P2P client [0]Direct     Connect (or [1]DC++) to find media on the Internet, you know that the     best hubs have ridiculous sharing requirements, i.e., over 100GB. It     isn't too difficult to amass a collection of 100GB of illegal movies     and MP3s with all the crap that's out there, but I'd like to play it     straight: I want to collect 150GB of pure legal stuff. So here's my     million dollar question: What is the best and fastest way for me     achieve this? I want to offer interesting, neat stuff (movies, music,     programs, etc.), not just Linux distros, mind you. One thing I've found     so far is a mirror of the [2]Prelinger Archives on archive.org, which     offers over 37GB of wacky, interesting stuff on divx format (in MPEG-2,     it's over 350GB, but that seems like cheating if I take that route).     One downside of this site is that it's not a very fast connection     (about 50KB/sec through their FTP via my cable modem -- I'd like a     throughput of at least 100KB/sec). I've considered mirroring the     Gutenberg project, but there are all sorts of redistribution issues     with a bunch of their files, and I don't want to go through all that     hassle. Come on, Slashdot. Give me some URLs!" Links

    SYSLINUX is a boot loader for the Linux operating system which operates     off of MS-DOS floppies. It is intended to simplify first-time     installation of Linux, rescue disks, and other uses for boot floppies.     A SYSLINUX floppy can be manipulated using standard MS-DOS (or any     other OS that can access an MS-DOS filesystem) tools once it has been     created, and requires only a ~ 9K DOS program or ~ 18K Linux program to     create it in the first place. It also includes PXELINUX, a program to     boot off a network server using a boot PROM compatible with the Intel     PXE (Pre-Execution Environment) specification, ISOLINUX, a program to     boot off ISO 9660 CD-ROMs in native mode, and MEMDISK, a tool to boot     legacy operating systems (e.g. DOS) using a Linux boot loader     regardless of medium.
