Dass Jennir finds out that there is more to this job than was requested.  Was he too eager to take the job for a chance to take down slave traders or was there another more primal urge spurring his actions?  He makes a memorable entrance into the tryouts for the gang but breaks the law in the process.

Darth Vader is sent off as soon as he returns, from his hopefully unknown failed mission of acquiring an apprentice, to a lackey's mission of policing some miners.  Is the emperor trying to exclude Vader from his plan for eliminating the remaining Jedi?  Or is he trying to eliminate Vader?

Dass Jennir signs up for a job to take out a gang that has moved in and taken over trade.  Local business owner hires him.  This was a short comic that originated on MySpace and was adopted to print after much fanfare.  The artwork is phenomenal.  Good as the first 5 issues in my opinion.  There are a good deal of artwork extras in this; including an entire copy of the final drawings for each frame.

I burned through this issue.  Very interesting concept: time travel as a service.  There were a few things that were unclear but a reread or the next issue should clear it up.

New server(s)

We are getting Hughes net Friday and I can't get either of my desktops to work.  They are quite dated at this point anyway but still have some good spare parts.  I want to build a new server or possibly two.

Things that will influence the build:
-Since it is Hughes net, there are restrictions on amount of data transferred
-To reduce ram usage on the server, run level 3
- Probably want i7 core with 12-16G ram
- I think I have hard drives large Enuf already
- will need two nics to setup as firewall
- I am limitted on space somewhat so I may not be able to setup 3 or 4 servers but I wud kinda like to.
- Also plan on using vonage so I need to make sure it can be configured for proxy

Network services server:
The services I had in mind are: dhcp, DNS, ldap,  firewall, proxy, package report, bandwidth monitoring, web service, log server, and anything else needed.
I was thinking of running Centos 6 but I wud like to use lmde since that is what my laptop and netbook run.  It is just not ootb to setup lmde with lvm.
Also considered clearos but from the floss weekly episode it sounded like it was all run level 5.
If I had more room I might do a cheaper build for just a clearos server and have a separate internal network services server.

Other server possibilities:
I'd like to have a NAS box of some sort as well with maybe a raid controller (for speed).  Or just some large and fast disks in a redundant raid for some reliability.
I'd also like to setup a pvr machine.  Maybe use mythbuntu and set it up for ripping DVDs to stream to other devices.  Great for movies in bed on a laptop.  Cud even get a TV and put a small PC with it that cud stream.  The main pvr cud have a volume on the NAS.

Also need to know if there is a good way of handling Xbox traffic.  Does a 360 support proxy?

Proxy problem with JoliOS (jolicloud)

This is the bug I filed (4536) with Jolicloud but haven't gotten any response. I suppose I should see if I can fix it myself :)

This is a clean install of 1.2
I have searched the knowledge base for proxy and got zero hits.

I have tried to get jolicloud to work several ways with proxy and none of
them seem to work.
The result is always that I cannot connect to my.jolicloud.com

I have tried setting proxy in the chromium browser GUI.
Also the "use same for all" button doesn't seem to work.
I say apply system wide and click close.
Immediately I try to open the proxy settings again and they have been
reverted.

I have tried editing /etc/nickel-browser/default to each of the following:
CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--proxy-server=my.proxy.server.com:port"
CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--proxy-server=http://my.proxy.server.com:port"
CHROMIUM_FLAGS="--proxy-auto-detect"
After each, I restarted X.

Is there something else I can try?

Unfortunately, jolicloud will not be very useful for me unless I can use it
behind a proxy.

How to setup rsh (even though you should be using ssh)

Let me start out by saying, I do not advocate rsh as it is insecure, however; I will post this nonetheless to help those in dire straights.

Also, I don't guarantee this will work for you but it did for me. If this breaks your setup, I will not be held responsible. Look before you leap :)

1. Install these packages (either yum, apt-get, or rpm):
   

   xinetd
   rsh
   rsh-server



2. Now run this:
   

   echo "rsh" >> /etc/securetty
   echo "rlogin" >> /etc/securetty



3. In /etc/xinetd.d/rsh and /etc/xinetd.d/rlogin, change:
   

   disable = yes

   to
   

   disable = no



4. Add promiscuous to line in /etc/pam.d/rsh and /etc/pam.d/rlogin like so:
   

   auth       required     pam_rhosts_auth.so promiscuous



5. Start the daemon:
   

   /etc/init.d/xinetd.d start



6. For a passwordless login setup, add the target hosts name in the following file on the source host:
   

   /root/.rhosts
