There's no way to boot a Linux from S3 except the way it already 
works: you store your virtual machine image on S3 and EC2 starts 
it from there

The only thing that's required is Amazon's Linux kernel: you can 
define all the rest of the Linux system yourself. You could boot 
the very minimum off the EC2 image to mount S3 as a filesystem and 
then continue booting the base system from S3, but it would make 
no sense. Once the image is loaded by EC2 it has much higher performance 
than accessing S3 over the network

S3's role in this mix is to persist your data, and mounting it as 
a filesystem is as transparent as you can get

If you mean that you don't want to use EC2, then that's fine, too. 
If you install the S3 filesystem on a local Linux system, you can 
use it from there

Cool stuff…


I don't find either QuickTime or Flash to be quite as pervasive as 
everyone would like to think.  We have found bugs amongst about 50% 
of the Mac users trying to display Flash media, and about 20% of 
PCs have some sort of trouble with QuickTime (not the least being 
they have not downloaded it yet).


The fact that Apple only supports Flash 4 is a pain.  I wish they 
could simple confirm their was no security holes, and that installation 
from all browns (like all four) was truly just a confirmation box. 
 Some times I will go to upgrade someone, and I will even be forced 
to reboot.  Deep shame.

I was trying to run rebface on server but got error that cannot find 
 libX11.so.6 which should be available. In which locations is Rebol 
looking for libraries?

You mean Syllable Server? It doesn't have X11

no, debian

apt-get install libx11-6  returns:
libx11-6 is already the newest version.
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 7 not upgraded.

REBOL is not looking in any particular place. Are you sure X11 is 
installed on that system?

is it possible that I don't have permissions to link these libraries?

Usually in this case, an older X11 library needs to be installed 
as well. But you can do:

ldd rebface

I was trying that.. it returns that cannot find the library

Unlikely. Loading libraries is just read-only

libx11-6 may not be the package that includes libX11.so.6. Those 
numbers don't usually have that relationship

What libraries does ldd say are missing?

linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libX11.so.6 => not found
        libXext.so.6 => not found
        libXt.so.6 => not found
        libXaw.so.7 => not found
        libXmu.so.6 => not found
        libstdc++.so.5 => not found
        libfreetype.so.6 => not found
        libm.so.6 => /lib32/libm.so.6 (0xf7f3c000)
        libdl.so.2 => /lib32/libdl.so.2 (0xf7f37000)
        libgcc_s.so.1 => not found
        libc.so.6 => /lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf7e0c000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7f69000)

there is quite a lot of them:)

It can't even find the GCC, C++ and FreeType libraries

They must not be installed somehow. It looks like a bare server system 
without even C++

it is just a server

That means very little

You have to install those libraries. Standard procedure

I'm not an admin so it looks I have almost no chance

It's not your server?

hehe... no:)

You have to take it up with the admin, then

Otherwise you could have tried as the root user

It's weird that even libgcc_s.so is missing

Admins usualy don't talk with ordinary users. Especially if they 
require something.

If it's a standard Debian admin, he'll tell you to sod off... Can 
you even get a graphical UI from that server?

there is /lib/libgcc_s.so.1

ach, that's different one

Why do you need a graphics system on a server?

I wanted to do some image processing.. I will have to write it in 
core than

Does Core run? I would expect it to also require libgcc_s

yes... core runs without problems

it requires just:
        linux-gate.so.1 =>  (0xffffe000)
        libm.so.6 => /lib32/libm.so.6 (0xf7f8b000)
        libc.so.6 => /lib32/libc.so.6 (0xf7e60000)
        /lib/ld-linux.so.2 (0xf7fb7000)

Anyway, you wouldn't have been able to apt-get install anything. 
That is a permission issue

I was already asking the admin to try it

never mind, I have to stay with Core

And don't you know if there is a version of Core with Rebcode for 
linux?

Doesn't the latest version have it?

no:) it was always just an alfa version

it's  rebol2650042

it's time to try it again

I have a problem that my httpd (an old Apache installation) goes 
into DE-FUNCT state from time to time. But I don't have any clue 
why. And, it never happend before. The last thing I did, was to disable 
SSL mode and I now have a SSH server running in port 443.

My installation is an old RH7.2


Has anyone an idea where I can take a look to find out what the problem 
is? I checked the /var/log files but no hint in there.
