In light of whistleblower Edward Snowden's masive disclosure of US spy agencies recording traffic and spying on US citizens, the NSA has announced the elimination of 90% of system administrator jobs.  This will be a reduction of around 900 middle class jobs. More no-e-con-o-me.  Good work to...

Collectively brain pooling on this one. Looking for easiest/quickest PXE boot server solution. Simply, need a setup where netboot can get one of many distro options to be served by this server. Anyone have a recommendation for the simplest/quickest to setup PXE boot server?

Anyone in the community dabbling at all with SDRs (Software Defined Radios)? Bunch of activity around such, including at least one Kickstarter project. Slews of cheap import USB receivers intended for HDTV reception that with software allow for a fairly broad spectrum of listening. Anyone...
