!fedora 18 just got KDE-4.10.4 as a regular update. Great work KDE Team.

@tioduke Not sure that's entirely the answer. I don't recall having the same issues with Gentoo. That's a rolling release distro.

@m3tti @losinggeneration I wish that there was less "Manual intervention required" with some !Archlinux updates. Other distros don't need it

@m3tti @losinggeneration I use !Archlinux as a top-level server OS and put other VMs under it. Not sure about the sbin/bin merge though.

Installed !Archlinux filesystem update on two machines OK. Had to modify my Samba-3.6.13 packages to new layout. That was also easy. Result!

@passthejoe !debian is a great, stable, distribution but you might miss the newer versions of some things that you get in !fedora.

Looks like you need to disable power save feature on ath9k if you want to achieve anything like 300Mbps wireless Class n performance !fedora

@ostfriese My guess is that it allows Instant Messaging services to discover users on the local network. Might also aid printer discovery.

I am going to miss the microblog nature of identia.ca once it changes to pump.io. Using a web browser to dent will feel uncomfortable to me.

Am I the only one with broken wireless after today's wpa_supplicant update? Thank-the-maker my repeater has a wired port I can use. !fedora

@mjjzf You'll need to switch repositories at some time. I've also found that Alpha-derived systems never quite match final releases,

@desintegr Not sure. The packages moved from -4 to -8 in a short space of time and the changelogs are vague.

Latest !fedora KDE workspaces update fixes the "notifications displayed at top of screen" problem. I was just beginning to get used to them.

Neil Darlow The FreeBSD Project

Making two different greylisting solutions (sendmail/milter-greylist and postfix/sqlgrey) operate consistently is very interesting. !FreeBSD

Neil Darlow Arch Linux

Saw a problem with nfsd failing at boot due to hostname resolution fail. Added After= and Requires= on named.service to fix it. !Archlinux

Neil Darlow The FreeBSD Project

Replaced policyd v1 with sqlgrey on my !FreeBSD server. Trading 1 compiled C package for 6 Perl ones but it seems to be doing the job nicely

@neildarlow OK. It did work after a while. The controls show as unicode placeholder boxes though. Definitely Beta and needs a lot of work.

@dennisgut Same as @netgeek here with #Firefox 20.0. Don't know if NoScript has anything to do with it not loading properly. No proxy used.

@neildarlow OK not !fedora. I was routing through a Wireless Repeater. I needed to clone eth0 MAC address onto wlan0 and now all is working.
