I was hoping that no one has responded to this because of the holiday weekend and no one is browsing the board.

BUT guess what? Currently Active Users: 235

Well Well Well.

Maybe the chit chat section isn't as bad as some people thought it was. You guys are tighter than 3 coats of lacquer!!!

AT LEAST ONE PERSON STEP UP.

COME AWN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I might be able to donate some hardware if that helps. I have an interest in an ISP and could even donate hosting... that may be one way you can drop the annoying popups (thank God for filters) :-)

I'm in, check the Pay pal account.

I had to stop going to Chit Chat, I found myself talking to some of my old Intel buddies about a guy named Curtis.

This is a unix server. well then do some monitoring. what is the system doing the most of.

memory near full
SWAP is near full
CPU running above 50%
Running out of Inodes on drive
Drive is full or slow access speed
NIC saturated
kernel needs tunning

or is it the collective of slow access drive and network near full.
To small of swap space.

I am willing to put up. but would like to know that the cash is going to the cause and not the simptom....

If you go read the thread in the general chit chat forum, Lance has gone into pretty good detail about what this is for.

This would be a good time for people to just enlist in the redstar donation.

You're going to do it eventually anyway, right? :flipoff2:

Whats the deal? I donated the other day to gen 4x4 the other day. We should have atleast 10 bucks now:question: :question: :question:


Come on, I know that all you guys like this place better than all the 4x4 mags put to gether. So pitch in and carry your own weight around here. I dont really have a bunch of money to throw around either, but this place is worth it. Shit, for the money I spent on this place in the last month or two I could have bought a pretty nice bottle of Crown. :flipoff2: I think I can handle not drinking for one weekend to justify the donation and my red star.

Can you?:usa:
