Upgrading Hardware - best practice
by RSCL Mumbai 25 Feb '10

25 Feb '10

Hi, I have a gateway server (CentOS5 + Squid) running since past 2 years. I need to free up the current server and prepare the same setup (CentOS5 + Squid) on a new hardware. I am exploring the short cut option of cloning the HDD and putting in a new server. When the cloned HDD boots in a new h/w environment, the OS will scream for new hardware found. I am sure the OS will then adjust its parameters for the new hardware. But, Is this a good approach ? Are there any stability issues ? Has anyone done this before ? Another approach I thought is to install CentOS5 and then copy only the "/" partition from the old HDD to the new one. Is there any other way of doing this ? What is the best way ? I am just trying to avoid reinstall & reconfigure efforts. Thx & regards, Vai PS: There are reasons why I need to do all this, hence I would appreciate if we limit the discussions to "best approach for move HDD into a new hardware".

I'm just a little worried about the installfest, because the 20 pc's have only CD Rom drives and 256 Mb Ram. I managed to boot to a netinstaller image using PXEboot, but netinstaller wanted to download the files off a mirror, so I still have to look into that. It would be good if I could just use the 4 or 5 Debian DVD ISO's instead of setting up a 40GB mirror [Unless someone already has the media / data for that] Surya Sharma me(a)suryas.info 9920482321

Pad.ma / Firefox session at HBCSE TODAY 5pm
by b＠pad.ma 23 Feb '10

23 Feb '10

hey everyone, Sorry for the seriously late intimation ;-). After a fun and productive event at CAMP this Sunday, Dr. Nagarjun is kindly hosting another session at HBCSE this evening 5 pm onwards. Just in case anyone can make it at such short notice, will be great, else we shall be posting pictures, videos and a report of the events shortly. Event Details: A seminar on Pad.ma and Firefox development will be held in Homi Bhabha Centre for Science education, TIFR on 23rd Tuesday evening at 5pm. Pad.ma is a full featured video archival website started as a collaboration between a number of groups (http://pad.ma/about). As a software project, the site uses completely open web and video technologies, significantly, the open source Theora video codec. Pad.ma has pushed the boundaries of what is possible with video on the web - being perhaps the first website to offer time-based annotations, server-side seeking to an arbitrary point in the video, partial clip download, client-side video encoding through the Firefogg browser plugin, alongwith full-text search through the video material. Jan, Sebastian and Sanjay will be talking on Pad.ma. Firefox does not need any Introduction. Mozilla Firefox is getting ready for the new Internet standard HTML 5, and the speakers from Mozilla Foundation will talk on what HTML5 means for the users and developers, what revolution is expected in terms of web applications. Seth, Arun and Axel will be speaking from Mozilla Foundation. The seminar will be informal and participants can interact with the guest speakers. The meeting will conclude with a Tea/Coffee and snacks at around 7pm. We are sorry for the very short intimation, but we hope you will all make use of the opportunity to attend. All are welcome, RSVP lab(a)gnowledge.org How to reach Homi Bhabha Centre are available at this link: http://www.hbcse.tifr.res.in/about-us/contact-and-location/homi-bhabha-cent… (note: the speakers from the Mozilla foundation may not make it due to their schedule, but have sent us tons of material that we will present some of.) Sorry if you have received this email from multiple mailing lists. Thanks, Sanjay
