Stepping back from the admin team.

It has been a pleasure being an EGLUG administrator for the past time. However, I feel that I'm not qualified as an admin - at least for some people here - and that I don't really have much time.

I was the one who posted that the previous team wasn't really doing their job. I thought that having a new team will ease things a bit, I ran for the elections for mainly 2 reasons: 1) I believe that I was among the active half of the team and that I can still give.

Firefox open/save dialog.

The new one with 1.5 is ANNOYING, Yes I know it's the default gtk one these days but it's crap, slow and evil.

Here's how to disable it and get back the old one

The last post.

In Debian testing it's here:

/usr/lib/firefox/components/nsFilePicker.js

I even gave it a +i attr so it won't be overwritten when I get a new FF deb.

Server outage yesterday.

We suspect a problem with either the SCSI harddisk or the SCSI controller which were responsible for the recent server lockups.

Since me and alaa'll be outside Egypt soon for a while and no quarantee about the net connectivity, We had to transfer the root "/" to te IDE drive although we had another SCSI drive attachd to the server. But to eliminate any problem with the SCSI controller we decided to depend on the IDE until we are back then dig farther.

EGLUG drupal 4.6 upgrade, Test site - Please help.

NOTE: The test site is running on a PII 400 with only 96 MB RAM, It's my home server. It'll be slow, I only have a 256/64 kbps ADSL; So please don't feel like visiting the test site to see something new, It's all the same. Please pass by ONLY if you really want to test.

Once we know that the upgrade was smooth, I shall upgrade the main website.
