Git vs. Subversion. Which one?
by Armin
So I wanted to know about the public opinions on which one is better, Git or
Subversion as versioning control system (VCS?). If you can, please come up
with some reasons too! Like what benefits do you think your preferred one
has
that the other one doesn't offer!
answers are very much appreciated :)

How to solve the RawInflate.pm line 64 problem?
by Danny.Terweij
Hi List,
Some perl tools are not working anymore for some time and i realy did not
know why.
Today i did found the error:
CPAN: Storable loaded ok
Going to read /root/.cpan/sources/authors/01mailrc.txt.gz
CPAN: Compress::Zlib loaded ok
Can't call method "value" on an undefined value at
/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.8.8/IO/Uncompress/RawInflate.pm line 64.
There are a lot google results on that but i did not find a sollution for
fedora 8.
So, how can i solve this error so my perl tools are working again?
Thank you!
Danny.

Finding a Font to Support a Unicode Block (X11)
by Michael Rohan
Hi Folks,
Just posted this to comp.fonts, but figured I should try here also.
Not sure if this is the correct group, but I have code that generated
Unicode strings displayed via Java on X Windows. The strings include
characters from the Enclosed Alphanumerics Unicode block. On one
Linux system (where I've installed every font package I could find),
the strings display as expected. On another Linux (default) system,
they display as little squares, i.e., missing.
Is there a way to directly identify the font needed to support a
particular Unicode block?
Take care,
Michael.

Greater than 2TB disks bootable?
by Phil Meyer
There is a lot of confusion available from articles on the Internet
about whether or not a greater than 2TB disk can be made bootable in Linux.
In order to go that large, the disk must be labelled, via partd, as type
GPT.
Ok so far.
Now, is it possible to use fdisk to cut off 100MB or so for a normal
/boot partition?
It seems that labelling a disk as GPT does not stomp the MBR, but does
affect the partition table. Is this correct?
If I create a 100MB partition using fdisk, and then label the disk as
GPT, can I start the large partition with the first cylinder > than what
I cut off for /boot and expect it to be seen?
Anaconda complains that GPT is not bootable. Is that system specific,
BIOS specific, anaconda error reading the BIOS, ???
Here is the specific scenario:
An intel based server, with 10 1TB drives attached to a SATA RAID
device. The RAID is level 5 with 9 drives and a hot spare.
What the system sees, is one device of ~8TB.
Is it possible to boot from the device, AND have all but /boot as one
large partition?
Thanks!

Mysteries of pulseaudio
by Timothy Murphy
Sound is working fine for me
on my Fedora-9 Thinkpad T43,
but when I boot I get the message
that pulseaudio is not working,
and sound is reverting to (I think) ac97.
I see in /var/log/messages the messages
Aug 23 10:22:46 carrie pulseaudio[2317]:
pid.c: Daemon already running.
Aug 23 10:22:46 carrie pulseaudio[2317]:
main.c: pa_pid_file_create() failed.
However, pulseaudio daemon does not appear to be running now.
This seems to be a purely academic question,
but I'd be interested to know
(a) why pulseaudio is not running, and
(b) whether this matters?

[OT] F10 - Wanted KDE but got XFCE
by Carroll Grigsby
I decided to give the F10 beta a try, and downloaded what I thought would be
the live KDE x86-64 CD from mirror.kernel.org, but on booting I had the xfce
x86-64 version. Really. Checked the downloaded filename, the CD disk label --
both said KDE. Runs pretty good.
I'm going to lay down a while.
