Trying a translation:

Primarily by having the clients shut down or go to sleep when no one is using them (as a lazy bastard, i've let my box basically up all year without eve...

I just read that, it is also that expensive because it automatically subscribes you to a 'concierge service'. Basically that means you can press a button and get someone (many languages supported) to order a pizza for you, no matter where you are or if you speak the local language. And of course, it...

[Linux Xorg ATI] X-server driver selection
[Problem] An older or onboard ATI gfx card will not work with the X-server on startup, even tho the driver is set to 'radeon' in the Xconfig. [Solution] Change the driver from 'radeon' to 'ati'. Yes, its two different drivers, and this worked for me with an ATI R200 on-board graphics adapter on an ...

[Problem] After configuring /etc/X11/xorg.conf and trying X --configure, the X server still won't come up. The error message is AddScreen/ScreenInit failed for driver 0 - which would point out to a wrong driver or the likes. [Solution] After i tried pretty much everything else and even wrote an xor...

Sounds even more interesting! Good that you did not choose the easy way (reinstall), but rather do it the hard way, and thus, give us a lot of information on topics we did not touch yet
Good luck, keep us up2date!

Very interesting! I personally do not have any experience with tools like that. Then again, we learned very early how to 'manually' move a installation

[Linux] "x% reserved for the super user"
When using mkfs, it per default reserves 5% of the total blocknumber of the mass storage device for root. Sometimes you dont want it to do that, and reading the manpage (... RTFM ...) the solution was quite simple: mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdx1 -m0 Where the -m flag lets you set the percentage to reserve - in...

Could you provide a little more detail?
My first thought is, that your repository does not include what you are looking for.
