RE: a simpler Gentoo
by Brian Kelsay 02 Mar '05

Yep. Stage 3 install. I only mentioned the article because of someone talking about Gentoo in IRC last night. It's not my bag since I'm getting better with Debian-based distros, but to each their own. Not sure what to tell you on the power saving lib problems on your Mepis. If you bring it in then I could have a look or one of the many Debian gurus could help. JClinton helped me determine that I need a Debian that is not mixed (apt-pinned) stable, unstable and testing in order to compile KISO. I mentioned it before, it's an ISO editor like WinISO that I'd like to have, but there are only RPMs and sometimes not even those. I'm prolly going to see if I can set my Mepis desktop to just unstable in order to compile this small but complex app. You might want to try the new SimplyMepis 3.3 that just was released on the 25th. Download from Mr. Bass' FTP mirror. 1Mb/s! Brian Kelsay >>> "Brian Densmore" <> 03/02/05 11:46AM >>> Gentoo in a straight-jacket, interesting. It looks like they are using the precompiled version of Gentoo, if I'm reading it right.

Gentoo in a straight-jacket, interesting. It looks like they are using the precompiled version of Gentoo, if I'm reading it right. I have three issues with going back to Gentoo. Sometimes they "freeze" an application for whatever reason. I always have trouble finding out how to unfreeze it and can't remember if I've ever successfully done so. Secondly, sometimes I need to install an application that uses a frozen app, because the developer hasn't updated his system or has the app unfrozen on his. Third and last, I've had my gentoo systems actually get fubared more than once from some funky thing I've done with portage. I am now running debian systems all greater than 1 year with no mishaps, no unfixed failed installs, no fubared update systems. I do have one issue with my version of debian, there is some dynamically loaded power saving libraries that I uninstalled that the system sometimes complains about not being able to find. I have looked for where these could be and haven't been able to determine where Mepis configured these items and uninstalling failed to remove these things, which tells me the Mepis people did some custom configuration stuff. I admit, I haven't looked to hard to find it, just in /etc and in the library database. After next week when I'll have lots of free time, maybe I'll hunt it down (anyone want to adopt a soon to be out-of-work programmer?).

I thought all the telecoms were state run in Europe, except in former Communist states? France, UK, Italy, and Spain, I'm pretty sure they are all state run or state "sponsored". Not sure about Germany or the Viking countries. In a world where freedom is illegal only criminals will have freedom - Brian Densmore > -----Original Message----- > From: Zscoundrel > > Interesting.

I actually support this idea. Let the Canadians keep their lethal beef. I'm switching to a Venison diet, I like my brain the way it is ... uninfected. What with UK, Canadian, American, Japanese and many other countries reporting case of diseased beef killing people, who needs it. Beef - It's what's for your last dinner! ;')

I went to visit Chris at KU. He's doin' fine. He was in the hospital because his humerus needed a little bit of bone transplant. The surgical steel plate in his forearm needed replacing too. When I saw him he was wide awake, mostly achin' to get to tonights meetin'. Michael handuma.com http://www.handuma.com

Trojan Found
by Jonathan Hutchins 01 Mar '05

01 Mar '05

I found a trojan running on my server today - rootedoor (http://vil.mcafeesecurity.com/vil/content/v_128116.htm). Couldn't find much information about it on the web. If you know anything specific about it (not general speculation on rootkits, trojans, etc.), I would appreciate you sharing it with the list. I detected it running as one of the last two processes listed by 'ps ax' just before a reboot to install a new kernel; the reboot seems to have elimiated all traces of it from the system. I found a number of missing or corrupt perl modules on the system, but that may not be related, it's an old system and I've had some perl issues before. This _is_ the system that suddenly lost all it's files Sunday night, so it could have been hacked before.
