VMWare Server Web GUI Linux instabil
Often VMWare Server is just not responding or the GUI in the browser is blank.
This is because VMWare is using SSLv2 but Firefox and other browsers in linux are using per default SSLv3, changing the firefox config to accept SSLv2 provides a stable connection.

64bit Adobe Flash, is always crashing
The 64bit flash plugin from adobe is always crashing on my computer (debian linux 64bit)
After some searching in the internet (days a lot of them), i found a simple solution .. its not the sound, not the graphics driver, its my CPU which is too old. It is not supporting the LAHF instruction in 64Bit (its an Pentium D 3.2Ghz)
there is an workaroung, just compile and place it in the same directory the flashplugn resides (~/.mozilla/plugins).
gcc -fPIC -shared -nostdlib -lc\
-oflashplugin-lahf-fix.so flashplugin-lahf-fix.c

gnome power manager does not react on low power
As stated in the gnome-power-manager FAQ
You might be able to use the percentage charge for g-p-m to use as the policy data. Open gconf-editor, and then change the key /apps/gnome-power-manager/use_time_for_policy to false. You can do this easily by doing:
> gconftool-2 --set --type bool\
/apps/gnome-power-manager /use_time_for_policy false
This should get the policy actions working for you, but of course the time remaining will still be incorrect.
My Lenovo Thinkpad X60s seems to be affected.
mod_fcgid: read data timeout in 40 seconds
for PHP/Perl Processes which are long running without any output, just add to the VHOST Apache configuration:
<ifmodule mod_fcgid.c>
IdleTimeout 3600
ProcessLifeTime 7200
MaxProcessCount 1000
DefaultMinClassProcessCount 3
DefaultMaxClassProcessCount 100
IPCConnectTimeout 8
IPCCommTimeout 360
BusyTimeout 300
</ifmodule>
The parameters has to be set per vhost, otherwise the defaults apply.
