Pardus is a Turkish GNU/Linux distro.

Pardus aims to

• provide full Turkish support by making the character structure compatible to Turkish (UTF-8 compatibility) and by making all the messages and documents visible to users into Turkish.
  
• ensure that it is an operating system which can be installed and used more easily than the existing Linux distributions and other competitive operating systems.
  
• to be designed in a modular configuration which can achieve the required flexibility and high performance with a task-based and human-focused approach rather than a tool-based and technology-based one.

I've been readin the Apache Httpd Logs documentation for version 1.3, 2.0 and 2.2 :

• http://httpd.apache.org/docs/1.3/logs.html
• http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/logs.html
• http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.2/logs.html

and noticed that in Apache Httpd 2.2 there are a couple of new modules / features that could be very useful for any development servers you run !

mod_logio adds in two additional LogFormat fields (%I and %O) that log the actual number of bytes received and sent on the network.

mod_log_forensic provides for forensic logging of client requests. Logging is done before and after processing a request, so the forensic log contains two log lines for each request. The forensic logger is very strict with no customizations. It can be an invaluable debugging and security tool.

Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Long Term Support) Desktop and Server Editions are now available !

If you want to run Ubuntu VM guests you might be very interested in Ubuntu Server Edition JeOS or if you want a lightweight Ubuntu for old low spec hardware (ie PII with 256M of RAM) you could try Xubuntu !

Ubuntu Open Week is taking place from Mon 22nd Oct - Sat 27th Oct on IRC in #ubuntu-classroom.

Why You Should Consider Moving from Red Hat to OpenSolaris

I'm now trying MEMSET virtual web hosting and its looking very good so far.

WHM/CPANEL has changed (improved) a lot since I last used it two years ago (when I defected to Plesk).

Not only does the MEMSET reseller package give you ssh root access to your VM you also get ability to update Fantastico yourself and update key system packages such as wget !

If fact the very first thing you have do using WHM (and by ssh as root) is update wget

# rpm -qa wget ;
# wget ftp://fr2.rpmfind.net/linux/fedora/core/5/i386/os/Fedora/RPMS/wget-1.10.2-3.2.1.i386.rpm ;
# rpm -e wget ;
# rpm -ivh --force wget-1.10.2-3.2.1.i386.rpm ;
# rpm -qa wget ;

https://netenberg.com/forum/index.php?topic=5430.0

and then update Fantastico !

Not for VM webhost beginners then but power equals complexity !

Because Debian 4.0 isn't perfect (yet) there is still a place for Ed/X/Ubuntu !

Imperfections :

• text based installer only optional (ideal for low spec machines like xubuntu-alt)
  
• my third install (in 48 hours) has failed with a big red screen because it couldn't "autodetect" a printer
• using aptitude to uninstall either fast-user-switch or gdm insists on uninstalling the entire gnome desktop and most gnome apps !
• vmware mouse doesn't leave debian guest window unless you are running vmware-toolbox
