I would like to see an interview with Patrick Volkerding

Is Jeremy going to murder me if I say a SuSE forum?
*hides for cover*

Well if you read the thread that is a sticky in the Distro forum, I'm sure you should have read already its something is keeps persuing at this time.

Now that would be cool, but I think we bothered him enough with questions at LWE in SF this past summer..
We'll give him a break or what would be really cool, get a live interview with him next summer if he stops by our booth. I really thought it was cool when he brought us some goodies the second day he came to hang out with us..

Regards.

What kind of goodies did he bring?

Slackware CD's.......stickers etc?

Mmmmm......that sounds tastey

Whitehat

Got some stickers and a small little screwdriver with the Slackware logo on it..

I forgot what else he brought, finegan and saneesh grabbed some others.

Cheers.

I'm not asking why, it's just something I'd like to see. I know that he's currently working on it.

Huh? That doesn't work for me (Do I have to be a moderator for that? ) When I click in the field with the user name it just selects the text of my handle, when I perform the search there is no button "Search for all threads started by this user"?!? What do I do wrong?

Ha, I found it out. One has to click on the blue / linked handle of the results of the first search, then one gets the panel with ones user-data and then ... >>in the page which comes up at the top right it says "Search for all threads started by this user", click it and all your threads will appear.<< Thanks a lot, XavierP.

They are? But how are they used, I mean what syntax do we apply?

I'd like to see more threads on Apache 2.0 configurations (maybe
a suggested "best practices" for example).

Although there's voluminous documentation at the Apache site,
some configuration stuff is a "do it a few times to figure
it out" type of thing.

And it is sometimes hard to find application-specific help with
configurations.

Two examples:

1) The use of "conf/" and "conf.d/" subdirectories in Apache 2.0
(mostly from RedHat 8/9 RPMs).

After doing a few configurations I realized the flexibility
of doing "Includes" in multiple places, particularly (in my case)
to allow for hostname synonyms (two names for the same
filespace) and share configuration information (we're in the
process of switching domain names).

2) I had a bit of a problem getting Dreamweaver MX 2004
to use WebDAV under Apache 2.0. I finally got the
one-line answer from the WebDAV mailing lists, but I "churned"
a lot trying to figure out what was going on.

My $.02.

P.S. Many thanks for all who provide and participate in these forums!

It's not a bad idea, but likely too much work for the server side people. Also I tend to think that instant message has taken over that kind of interaction. just my

BTW "search for exact phrase" just searches for all the words over the entire thread. E.g. if you searched for "search for exact phrase" you'd get something like "search for" in post #2, "exact" in post #7 and "phrase" in post #32. Seems to me its somehow broken, because I would expect to turn up only results with exactly the search-phrase "search for exact phrase".

JZL240I-U, that should not be the case and I can not reproduce it. Can you give me an example of a search term this happens for? Keep in mind that if you search for "search for exact" and then select search by thread, only one post has to have the exact phrase (you may be thrown of by the fact that all search terms are being highlighted).

Neither could I. Sorry that I set you on a false trail, Jeremy, but I don't remember the exact phrase I was searching for and so I can't even check for the particular case where I thought I had those erroneous results. I guess it was an oversight due to the highlighting of all search terms, since it works for me (now) too. Again, sorry.

As an addendum, I would suggest a brief hint / description of the functionalities (search for own threads) which XavierP explained in his post #12 (to which I answered in post #22) since this good feature is not intuitively usable, since it is not really included into the search panel. (BTW why can't you expand the search by Member-ID function in the search panel to include this feature, i.e. why is a primary search run necessary?).

And last, you said that "Logical operators are (to a large extent) already built into the search, as is the ability to use wildcards. ..." and I asked "They are? But how are they used, I mean what syntax do we apply?" Could you please give us a hint, since I didn't find anything pertaining to this?!?

I will write up a little "how does the LQ search work" doc and put it in LinuxAnswers.

how about like a little java game area where we can play pool or something against each other. and to keep out the riff-raff it could be a perk for like after you reach a thousand posts or maybe something like you earn a game for every 5 posts or something.

quite a stretch i know but it would be cool would it not?
