Hi,
I will load Centos onto a dual core Xenon with 4 gigs of RAM. If all
the modules are loaded when I gen the system, will that slow down apache?
Thanks,
Terry Bailey

everything running requires resources. To maximize performance,
minimize the number of running processes.
If you don't need it, don't start it. Apache modules can be turned on
and off in the conf file. Modules turned off will not be loaded when
apache starts. Modules turned on will be loaded even if they are never
used.

I cannot figure out how to get a linux screen saver to start at the gnome
login prompt.
We rundebian linux and I've discovered that by default, it turns on a screen
saver that requires the user to re-enter a password if the console is idle
long enough. But I need the screen to go blank if nobody logs in for 5 or 10
minutes. Googling showed me lots of ways to configure a screen saver for a
user but that' means it would work only after a user logs in.
I'm sorry I'm kind of ignorant of gnome & gdm. I'm blind and I have only
used the GUI a few times. I'm trying to learn how to use it with the new-ish
screen reader for gnome, orca. But I have a long way to go.

So you're trying to have the screensaver running before anyone logs in?
I'm not sure I understand the purpose.

Do you really want a screensaver, or do you want the monitor to suspend
for power-saving purposes?

I am not sure how you would implement that at present without some
programming. However, I could be wrong: A *lot* of new functionality
has come to GNOME-based systems in recent times, and something like
this may already exist there that I am not aware of and cannot find.
That said, I think that the best way to go about this would be (if you
have some programming skill) implementing some additional functionality
to do just this. There are a few ways to go about it:
* Implement some system-wide program that will automatically be run
every time someone starts a GNOME session, watching for inactivity
and kicking off the Fast User Switching functionality in GNOME
after a set time-out,
* Implement some system-wide program that will automatically be run
every time someone starts a GNOME session, watching for inactivity,
letting the screen saver come on, and then kicking off the Fast
User Switching functionality in GNOME, when there is activity after
a specified amount of inactivity (this mimics the way Windows XP
Professional seems to work by default),
* Or implement something with either of the above points, within the
gnome-screensaver software itself, and using GConf to store its
configuration data so that the system administrator can implement
*some* required functionality in a system (e.g., maximum timeout
for the screensaver which would be implementing the feature to
begin with).
I don't know how hard any of those would be, but I would imagine not
terribly hard if you are already a C programmer. I can't seem to find
any indication that a similar feature has been requested in GNOME or
that it has already been implemented, so I am fairly sure that someone
will have to write it.

I can only assume that Orca has improved quite a bit since the last
time I checked it out. I was looking into screen-readers some time
ago, and Orca used to crash quite a lot; the screen reading extensions
for GNU Emacs are (from what I have been told) quite a lot better and
I knew one person that used that exclusively (I guess Emacs really is
an operating system!). Good luck on Orca. :)

Thank you, I can find a few uses for this.

If we judge by the latest issue of Linux Format magazine,
whose last two cover disk distros were Ubuntu 8.10 and
Fedora 10 respectively, this month's ALE Central meeting
could get a little rough [re attached jpg].
:-)
Here's a reminder about tomorrows ALE cage ma ...
er... meeting details:
===
Our feature presentation for the
ALE Central Meeting on Thursday,
January 15, 2009, 7:30pm, will be
"Fedora 10: Looking at Features,
Fixing the Flaws, and Planning the Future"
presented by David Nalley,
Regional Fedora Ambassador
Synopsis:
? This talk will be a casual exploration of, and an open
dialog about, the many new design and package features
found in Fedora 10, the latest release of the Linux community
development distribution from which Red Hat Enterprise
Linux is derived. Supporting the goal of continuing to improve
Linux tools for the future, any audience questions, comments,
critiques or observations regarding Fedora Linux will be
welcome and encouraged.
Bio:
? David Nalley is a Linux Sysadmim, a Fedora Developer
and the Regional Fedora Ambassador for the South Eastern
U.S. working out of Greenville, South Carolina. David travels
frequently to technology events throughout the region to
promote Fedora Linux distributions specifically and the FLOSS
philosophy in general. He recently journeyed to Atlanta for
the Software Freedom Day & Linux Fest 2008 celebrations in
September, where he graciously agreed to visit with ALE
again once Fedora 10 was released.
============================
The ALE meeting time frame is 7:30pm to ~9:30pm
Directions to Emory Law School can be found at:
< <A HREF="http://mail.ale.org/?page_id=2">http://mail.ale.org/?page_id=2</A> >
============================
As always, these details are available at the ALE.org
web site. And apologies for being a little tardy getting
this posted, but I've been busy on the road the past
week and a half.
peace
