AIGLX or XGL?
ByEtzionAs you can see in my previous posts, I have an NVidia card. It worked quite well while using XGL, but due to XGL’s memory consumption (it takes a lot of memory), I have decided to try for AIGLX, which is part of the X.org system. In my previous post you can see that (and…

Proccess monitoring, Keepalive, etc
ByEtzionMy new Linux server-to-be will require some remote monitoring and process keepalive going there. It’s that I’ve noticed nscd (which is required, when dealing with hundreds of LDAP based accounts) tends todie once a while.
