- Kingston ValueRAM SO-DIMM 2GB (DDR2-667) - Alkon-PC - 29,90€ each

Well, as for replacing my current fileserver (which I seriously need to consider replacing), I’ll just pick up these things:
- 3WARE 9550SXU-8LP (that’s 399,00€) plus riser card
- VIA EPIA EK 8000EG (that’s 201,69€)
- Kingston ValueRAM DIMM 1 GB DDR-400 (that’s 57,00€)
- 4x Seagate ST31000340NS (that’s 279,00€ each - making a subtotal of 1.116,00€)
So after browsing some more for a replacement for my current fileserver, I’d like to share the latest stages with you people. Thanks to Mike (who mentioned that binutils-2.18* already does the LDFLAGS=”-Wl,-z,relro” part) I replaced it with “-Wl,-O1″. Same old place, there’s fresh stages … (and thanks again to Mike, with working util-linux-2.13-r2).
I also tried getting a Gentoo/Hardened stage for PowerPC working, but that fails as due to >glibc-2.3 needing =gcc-4*. Though luck ….
Oh, yeah. If anyone is looking for the specs, they are in my overlay.

Ok, so I ended up lying in bed for two hours, so I stood back up and searched for some stuff that floated my mind. The end result seems to be the following:
- VIA EPIA SN10000EG (199,30€)
- 2x Kingston ValueRAM SO-DIMM 2GB PC2-5300U CL5 (DDR2-667) (each 31,31€)
- Club 3D GeForce 7300 GT, 256MB DDR2, 2x DVI, TV-out, PCIe (CGNX-HG736) (55,00€) — still need to find a riser card
- Transcend SSD/IDE 8GB (169,00€)
- 2x Samsung SyncMaster 204B, 20.1″, 1600×1200, VGA, DVI (LS20BRDBSQ) (each 309,00€)
I still need to find a fitting power supply, but I’ll leave that for tomorrow. The above leads me with about 520,00€ for the “PC” and 680€ for the TFT’s (as I don’t have any). And that’ll give me a full silent (as in not a single moving part), quiet workstation for my desk.
Another thing I went looking, was the at the “Unquoted value” stuff repoman started printing. Thanks to GNi (and solar) I was able to compute a rather looooooong list quite fast …
For my own remembrance, here’s the (combined) command I used:
$ for i in $( grep -i “unquoted variable” ~/repoman-full-$(date +%Y%m%d).log | cut -d\ -f4 |cut -d/ -f1-2 | sort -u ) do echo -n “$i ” echo “(herd:$(epkginfo $i | grep “Herd:” | cut -d: -f2 ), maintainer:$( epkginfo $i | grep “Maintainer:” | cut -d: -f2 | sed “s,@gentoo.org,,” ))” echo; grep -iE “$i/(.*)unquoted variable” repoman-full-$(date +%Y%m%d).log | sed -e “s,$i/,,” echo done > ~/repoman-quoting-$(date +%Y%m%d).log
The *real* original (from `history`):
$ repoman full 2>&1|tee ~/repoman-full-$(date +%Y%m%d).log $ grep -i “unquoted variable” ~/repoman-full-$(date +%Y%m%d).log | cut -d\ -f4 |cut -d/ -f1-2 | sort -u > ~/affected $ for i in $( < affected ); do echo -n "$i "; \ echo "(herd:$(epkginfo $i | grep "Herd:" | cut -d: -f2 ), maintainer:$( epkginfo $i | grep "Maintainer:" | cut -d: -f2 | sed "s,@gentoo.org,," ))" echo grep -iE "$i/(.*)unquoted variable" ~/repoman-full-$(date +%Y%m%d).log | sed -e "s,$i/,," echo done > repoman-quoting-$(date +%Y%m%d).log
Oh, may come in handy too:
- repoman-full-20080107.log (2,1M) as well as
- repoman-quoting-20080107.log (1,4M)
