Big thanks to <A href="http://www.varesearch.com/"> |
|
<img src="va.gif" alt="logo of ">VAResearch</A> for |
|
supporting the RPM archives. They provided me with a Wide SCSI card and |
|
a Wide SCSI cable to avoid using the on-board Adaptec wich still tend to |
|
hang the machine every couple of months. Making all the devices work happily |
|
together took quite some time and resulted in a 2 hours downtime, sorry, |
|
hopefully the machine will be stable now.</p> |

I was running out of disk space again so I got a new 11 Gig drive |
|
(I also bought a Promise IDE card to host the new drive(s)). |
|
I will now start providing non-linux RPM packages, starting with |
|
Solaris ones coming from <a href="http://www.solaris.rpm.org/" |
|
>Real-Time.Com</a> repository. I also added a couple of Windows/Cygwin32 |
|
RPMs and the Turbolinux distributions 3.0 and PPC, see the |
|
<a href="/linux/RPM">RPM repository main page</a></p> |
|
If you think I'm missing a major RPM based distribution, |
