My Dell Inspiron Mini 10 ships with an Intel Atom N450. Right now, TuM’Fatig is running on an USB disk plugged in the XPS M1330. So the Mini is in testing mode. Today was the day when I checked the status of NetBSD’s SpeedStep implementation on N450.
Sadly, NetBSD 5.1_STABLE still does not support it ; NetBSD 5.99.55 knows about it though.Continue reading...
I used to run my I.T. services on an AIRIS N1110 shipping an Intel(R) Core(TM)2 T7400 @2.16GHz. It was quite nice, fast and silent. In fact, I noticed that this processor was used in MacBook and iMac Late-2006 ; which might indicate that this processor is quite optimal regarding performance and speed ratio.
Since that computer died, I switched my services from spare hardware to spare hardware. I was never really convinced to have found a “nice” replacement hardware. So I’m looking at purchasing a new one. From my experience, what really counts in the speed/heat ratio are the CPU and the motherboard. The CPU will enable performance depending on cores and frequency and will generate heat depending on its TDP (Thermal Design Power). The motherboard will enable performance depending on its design and mostly depending on the RAM it can support.Continue reading...
En prévision de l’arrivée de la fibre Free (FTTH) sur ma Freebox Révolution et du déménagement du “Server” dans le placard de l’entrée, il me faut brancher un téléphone sans fil qui va résider sur la table du salon. Pour ce faire, Free propose la téléphonie sans-fil au moyen du protocole GAP (Generic Access Profile).Continue reading...
For quite a few days now, in my “optimize than damm WordPress” quest, I’m playing with Ubuntu, NetBSD and OpenBSD in (VMware Fusion) virtual machines and spare hardware I have. One of the idea is to optimize MySQL on those systems. The MySQL configuration file in named my.cnf and is not located in the same place on every systems…Continue reading...
Quoting it’s website, “Munin is a networked resource monitoring tool (…)”.
It’s like Cacti but smaller, faster, …
It is based on a client/server configuration. By default, you install the “client” part on the host you want to monitor and install the “server” part on the host that will keep the data and do the graphics.
Here’s the way I installed, configured and run it on OpenBSD 4.9.Continue reading...
