KnopMyth

• Zac is having problems getting the backend working.
• Dave C is using PVR-250 with Mandriva running MythTV.

Stunnel

How do you get it up and running? Until recently, the Windows rsync open-source project could not do encryption. You had to do stunnel.

Suse Linux Enterprise 9

Josh saw an awesome SLES 9 demo running on a Blade, running several different OS’s inside virtual machines. When a Blade was pulled, the running VM’s failed over to other Blades.

Novell Suse 10

It will be able to support iSCSI, such that other machines will be able to access it, including machines that may not be able to connect to iSCSI. SLES 10 is to have a 7-year life span, where Open SuSe will be 6 months.

Trouble Maker software

Josh talked about his open-source project called Trouble Maker. It is a project that creates computer problems, for you to solve. See more at: http://trouble-maker.sourceforge.net
