Pulseaudio and "ringing" (Skype, GTalk, VOIP, etc.) 0 28 (4/22/2011 8:36:20 PM) comp.os.linux.hardware Once upon a time - several versions of Fedora back - I could have Skype set to "ring" one audio mechanism and "speak" on another audio mechanism. Pre-pulseaudio, this permitted use of a headset for conversa... Andrew

Questions about traffic shaping 9 21 (8/2/2010 7:22:18 PM) comp.os.linux.networking I'm using Linux-based routers, and I want to limit individual hosts' bandwidth, or sometimes limit the bandwidth of a collection of hosts together (ie. the hosts share an allocation of bandwidth). A factor... Andrew

Upgrading grub, MBR vs. first block in a partition 18 103 (1/26/2010 8:16:06 PM) comp.os.linux.hardware As I understand it, grub stage1 needs to know where grub stage2 is.

Keeping a laptop cool 11 41 (4/22/2009 4:43:39 PM) comp.os.linux.hardware I've Fedora 10 on an ASUS S96S (which is apparently the same as the J96S). It's great, but I notice that the fan is on a lot. That's not a problem, but I do worry that I might be pushing the laptop too hard... Andrew
