Once again. Need the same configuration.
But without expensive setup-fee (like bytemark), with ability to pay per month (not per 3 moth like ovh.com) and with english support :-)
Data-center should be locate in Europe/UK.

Thank you for help.

Thank you for detailed answer.
I am going to try find hosting with RAID-5.

What do you mean by hardware raid?
I can order 3Ware RAID Controller (no additional info from my hoster)


How are the devices contributing to your software raid set arranged?
IDE, SATA or some other interface ?
Simple 2 (identical) SATA disks:
md0 : active raid1 sdb1[1] sda1[0]
308367552 ...

Hello everyone,

I have one simple question and can't find right answer.
Does hardware RAID-1 is faster then Linux software RAID-1??

In my simple configuration linux software RAID-1 does not give any performance benefits on READ.
I think this is not right, because RAID-1 should give READ speed-up ...

Wow! It's awesome!
Thank you very much )

Hello everyone,
I am trying to find dedicated hosting in Europe/UK with configuration like this:
2/4 core server, with 8Gb RAM and 2 HDD (160gb will be enough) in RAID-1.
Price limit is 165$/120Euro.

Will appreciated for any links, ideas and suggestions.

If you are upgrading from a previous version check out this . It gives you a long command you need to use to add the following to your make.conf.

APACHE2_MODULES=" "
My make.conf looks like this..

APACHE2_MPMS="prefork"

APACHE2_MODULES="actions alias auth_basic auth_digest authn_anon authn ...

Some settings have been moved to /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/default_vhost.include and /etc/apache2/vhosts.d/00_default_vhost.conf and 00_default_ssl_vhost.conf

Check those out and you'll see some familiarity! :)

I've checked them, and still there are no sections like:

<IfDefine INFO>
ExtendedStatus ...

Hello All,
I am little bit confused that new ebuild for apache do not provide full configuration like in old times.
I mean that new httpd.conf is completely clean out, it contains only minimum configuration. It even doesn't have section for INFO/STATUS.

Is there any ability to install full httpd ...

Thank you for good answer!

Hello All,
Yes, I know that software RAID is not ideal solution, but I expected much more from it...
Here is my simple benchmarks:

# dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/null bs=64k count=10000 skip=100000
10000+0 records in
10000+0 records out
655360000 bytes (655 MB) copied, 8.32697 s, 78.7 MB/s

# dd if=/dev ...

after searching on forum found solution:

This I got for gblic:

Hello all
I've got this:

If you meant to cross compile, use `--host'.

Hi all,
Im searching for gentoo dedicated hosting (not VPS) with english support.
I need simple server with RAID-0 (2x40/2x80 hdd) on board.... My budget is ~150$/mo.
Is it possbile?

My country isn't important. But country of my visitors is important.
I think that 80-90% of them will be from Europe and 10-20% from US.

PS. Thanks for reply. I'll check all this hosters.

Hello all,
I want to buy VPS hosting with Gentoo guest OS.
Can you give me advice which one VPS hosting with good support to choose?

id3 can get/set tags... but i found more usable GUI-application EasyTag :)

Hello All,
Im decided to convert all tags in my mp3s archive to utf8.
Suggest me please any tools which will automatically convert all tags.

Чтобы вот таких вопросов не было...
А must это жестоко... Вы не в армии...

Вообщето utf это... как там у тебя написано... о...
UTF - bad realization of a good idea :)

Я пожалуй еще год точно потерплю и не буду на utf переходить, уж как-то не хочется грабли собираться в самых неожиданных местах ...

Все переписывать нету смысла, а вот найти наиболее близкое к идеалу что-то и добавить в него нужные фичи - это легко.

Ох уж эти буржуи :))

Иногда интересно есть ли альтернатива используемому тобой софту...

Альтренатива в OS всегда есть, как минимум тобой же написанная :)
