Thinkpad 390E, unknown condition, didn't test because probably no-one will
want it.

Thinkpad T43 model 2668-C31 (put the model number into the above web site to
get the specs). Below is a summary of the specs:
Based 2668-4DU: P M 760(2.0GHz), 1GB RAM, 80GB HD, 14.1in 1400x1050 TFT LCD,
64MB ATI Radeon X300, CDRW/DVD, Intel 802.11abg wireless, Bluetooth/Modem, 1Gb
Ether, UltraNav, Sec Chip, FPR, 9c Li-Ion batt, WinXP Pro
It might have had more RAM or a bigger hard drive added. The system appears
to be working correctly and boots Windows XP. I have to wipe it before I can
give it away so you can't run Windows unless you have your own licensed copy.
There is no PSU at this time but there's a good chance that I can get one in
the next few days.
======
Two Wyse Winterms. I believe that they are touch-screen terminals for
diskless operation on Windows networks. The model number is WT3820TX. They
have hardly ever been used as the customer changed their mind and they sat on
a shelf for ages. There is no PSU, they take DC 16V 3A
======
Let me know off-list if you want any of this. I can bring them to a LUV
meeting or deliver them to some locations in and around the CBD or suburbs
that I happen to visit.

Hi everyone,
You may be interested in the survey below
The FLOSS 2013 survey
In 2002, the first FLOSS survey was launched. With over 2500
participants, it was the first large survey of Free/Libre/Open Source
developers around the world. This survey had major impact in the
community, academia and politics. 10 years later we would like to
replicate the survey in order to see how the community has changed.

Some settings such as ulimit -n (open-files-limit) cannot be done from inside the daemon.
Most other daemons fork themselves so the same mechanism for restarting is built in anyway.
A signal 11 is always a bug, not normal or acceptable. So I trust you reported the backtraces from the errorlog?
Regards,
Arjen.

Subject: mysqld_safe seems unsafe
It's always a sign of low code quality when a daemon has a wrapper script to
restart it when it crashes. Squid used to have such a script but for many
years has been considered to be reliable enough not to need it.
MySQL seems to be the only commonly used daemon with such a script. I had
been wondering if the script was even needed, I would have hoped that mysqld
was reliable many years ago. But I checked the logs of a RHEL4 system I run
and found 19 log messages about mysqld getting signal 11 since 2006 of which
the last one was 4 days ago.
One problem with such scripts seems to be the issue of reliably shutting down
the server. I have a ZFS system that doesn't always mount the filesystems on
boot so I use /etc/rc.local to restart mysqld. That usually works apart from
the time when I ended up with two copies of mysqld running at once. However
mysqld uses file locking and it seems that you don't get data loss when you
have two copies of it running at the same time (try not to test this theory on
production networks).
While it was handy that mysqld was restarted 19 times, it wasn't good that I
was unaware of the problems.
Is that script being used in the MySQL successors such as Drizzle?

"Linux Australia and linux.conf.au 2014 are pleased to announce the 2014
travel grants programme.
linux.conf.au strives to be a conference that is open and accessible to the
whole open source community. We realise however that, no matter how we
arrange the pricing for the conference, it will still be unaffordable for
some members of the community.
These grants aim to reduce the financial barriers to attending
linux.conf.au2014, by subsidising the registration and travel costs of
contributors to
the community who would otherwise have difficulty affording the cost of
attending the conference.
Please go to http://travelgrants.linux.org.au/ to read more and/or put in
an application. Applications are due by 15 November, and winners will be
informed by 1 December.

I want to check for the existence of a file that can have a variable
tail portion of its name.
if[-f <file> ] doesn't seem to have the ability to do wild cards.
Can anyone suggest how to achieve this?
TIA.
Hello again,

Hello all,
Is there any open source software available for app development similar
to the Adobe Design Publishing Suite + addons or Mag+ ?
I am looking for something for app development by someone with very
limited coding experience. The options provided by Adobe plus addons
are horribly expensive and I was was wondering if there is a viable open
source alternative?
Thanks
Bob
