Is there a live linux distro that I can use for burn-in? I'd like something that has Bonnie++ on it. I've found other live CD that has utilities, but nothing with bonnie++ on it.
PDF/A is one of the best formats to archive my documents.
What Linux software would allow me to scan documents to PDF/A ?
A PNG?PDF/A or TIFF?PDF/A tool would be fine too.

Hi,
What is the best way to install a plugin capable of playing real videos for Debian Linux?
In particular I want this web page to run correctly under Iceweasel and Chrome:

I run Debian 5 + Gnome and it seems that after I made certain updates with aptitude, whenever I run a query in Navicat ( sql program that runs on WINE ), as the results are being presented linux goes into the command line and the GUI dies and it restarts and it asks me to login again ( all my programs crash ).
Has anyone experienced this before? Or does anyone have a clue as to how I could go about debugging this? I suspect it's some issue with Gnome and WINE, but I'm not sure.
I'm trying to act as an access point to share the internet I get from a USB modem on arch linux. From what I've seen so far, most of what I've found deals with installing particular distributions like DD-WRT to this purpose, but I haven't been able to find any particular and comprehensive solution.
Has anyone done this before? I don't know how relevant it might be, but my wireless card is a broadcom device.

I've seen a similar question, but this one is PCI-based, not USB: http://superuser.com/questions/104663
I've tried the Conceptronic CTVDIGRCU v3.0 but it does not pick up any channels (although it does work on windows).

Looking For Video Editing Software for Ubuntu
I'd like a working video editor for 720p MPEG4 (.mov) with 16Khz ulaw audio in Linux. I've already tried pitivi (audio encoding issues) and kdenlive (crashes almost immediately after a clip is imported). What should I try?
I am looking to see if anything exists that would allow us to capture all outgoing email on a machine -- for example, in a staging environment -- and drop it in a single place, which ideally would be something we could check with a mail client.
Currently we're doing this on the software level (if environment is staging, rewrite address) which is a bit ugly and leads to errors.
The servers are currently on Debian Linux, using exim as the mail transport.
Open to any and all suggestions!

Every now and then on this site there are people asking what are some sys admin interview questions. Mostly when reading them they are all junior to mid-level questions.
I'm wondering what are your best senior level Linux admin interview questions.
Two of mine are
1) How do you stop a fork bomb if you are already logged into a system
2) You delete a log file that apache is using and did not restart apache yet, how can you recover that log file?
Right now I have Fedora dual booted with Windows 7. The reasoning behind that is just because windows was the first OS I ever used and has some essential software, and Fedora is the first linux distribution I tried, but I would like to hear the argument for other distros, as I may be looking to switch.
Thanks ahead of time.

Do share if you know of a nice software.
Can someone recommend me a linux flavor to install an oracle database on? I have no preferences for any flavor.
Is there flavor which is easier than others? Or has less issues?
Hi all,
I'm trying to copy and paste lines of code to the linux terminal. However, I've noticed that when the copied text is too long (let's say, 60 or more lines), it gets trimmed and altered in an apparently random way (e.g. some characters missing).
I found the same problem in Ubuntu Karmic Koala, Fedora 10 and Ubuntu Jaunty Jackalope.
Any clue why this happens and if I can increase the size of safely copy/pasteable text?
Thanks!
Hi,

What options are available to load balance web service traffic on Linux with the ability to add or remove servers from the server pool without restarting the load balancer?
This post:
http://serverfault.com/questions/71437/mod-proxy-change-without-restart
looks like a very promising way to switch between two servers, but I don't know enough about mod_proxy and mod_rewrite to understand how/if I can use an external file to specify the BalancerMember entries for a section.
Are there other open source load balancers that support reconfiguration without restart?
I'm looking for a Linux gnome widget that can display data from a nearby Weather Undergound station. Does anybody know of something like that? I can program if needed. Thanks!
I am using WebDAV on Linux box with davfs2 1.4.6. When I copy a file to a mounted WebDAV service, it is goes rather fast, just like a regular local drive operation. And it actually is, because the file is first copied to ~/.davf2/cache directory. But how do I know that uploading is finished and where do I see current progress? Is there a way to know that uploading failed due to lack of space or file size restrictions?
I am trying to find the word count of a specific word in a collection of documents, in Linux.
I have tried with grep and ack-grep in combination with wc but I can't seem to come up with a valid combination of pipes :)
