comment How is GRUB able to read it's config file on ext3 fileystem?
I certainly wouldn't call the differences minimal. Certainly when compared to ext2 vs. ext3, the changes are significant. (kernelnewbies.org/Ext4)

comment Connection with hostapd stops working after 10 minutes
AskUbuntu might be a better place to ask this stuff. Laptop Wireless chipsets are not commonly used on servers.

comment In bash, what are potential negative consequences of pausing a process with control-z?
Not speaking to keepalives, those are obviously Application level. I'm talking about ACKs for the TCP sliding window at the Transport level.

The TCP stack would continue sending ACKs that the window is full though, right?

comment Unix - how to get hostname along with domain name
Oy! Inadvertently setting the hostname would be a pain, and the OP did say Solaris. Thanks!

comment Unix - how to get hostname along with domain name
You should feel blessed that you've avoided NIS. It's annoying. And even the Mozilla Thunderbird team screwed this one up since they depended on 'domainname' output for the default reply-to in 2.0. For actual domainname, I use hostname --fqdn | cut -d. -f2-4

domainnname actually reports your NIS domain if you're running NIS. This is not necessarily the same as your DNS domain name.
