Burning files that are too large

by Yves Glodt

Hi, I wonder if there is a way to burn a file that is slightly too big. E.g. putting a file of 710MB on a 700MB cd. The last 10MB being lost by this operation would not bother me too much as it's a divx. I have not found a way to do this with k3b... is there maybe a way using cdrecord directly? Thanks and regards, Yves -- Linux 2.6.11.10 #1 Wed May 18 17:50:55 CEST 2005 i686 00:30:30 up 2 days, 4:57, 1 user, load average: 0.71, 1.32, 1.26

Which "Enterprise" Linux?

by Patrick Useldinger

I have a question for all of those who use Linux at work. I am aware that there are 2 major "enterprise" distros which are of course RedHat and Novell/SuSE. Besides those, Mandriva, Ubuntu and especially SunJDS all have commercial offers. But which distros are _really_ used (on servers) here in Luxemburg, or in Europe? Is RedHat also dominant here? Do companies always go for commercial solutions, or are the non-commercial ones catching up (I heard of Debian being used on a major site in … [View More]

speed up Mozilla & Firefox page download & rendering

by Patrick Useldinger

Just read this and thought you might be interested. In about:config, - Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true" - Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true" - Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 20. This means it will make 20 requests at once (although I also read than 8 was the max). - Right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer. Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0". This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it … [View More]
