Evolution crashes when the Inbox size exceeds 2GB. As a result, when you open Evolution the Inbox will be empty, and an Error message will be at the bottom that says Error while opening folder mbox:/home/myname/.evolution/mail/local #inbox
The solution is to archive your mails frequently. Clear your trash frequently.
And in this particualr occasion, when your Evolution is crashing use the help of archivemail
Since I came across this issue several times I thought of blogging about it to save my time and to help any one who might need this advice.
MySQL by default has a row size limit of 64K as at MySQL 5.0. Therefore if you save a file larger than that anything after the max size will not be saved. So do not be surprised if you find the data that is saved to be corrupted.
Obvious solution to this would be to increase the MySQL max_allowed_packet variable to a very high size.
But a more elegant solution would be to break up the large file in to separate rows.Another advantage of this approach is you can read one chunk at a time and stream vs reading the entire file in to memory.
A question that any new immigrant would ask sooner or later is, "Is Canada still under United Kingdom Rule?, or is Canada controlled by any other country?". The answer is NO.
Up to 1931, UK had significant political control over Canada. Full legislative autonomy was granted to Canada by the Statute of Westminster, 1931, passed by the United Kingdom and ratified by the Canadian parliament. In 1982, the Canada Act terminated the power of the British parliament's ability to legislate for Canada, and the authority to amend the constitution was transferred to Canadian legislative authorities. Therefore, Canada does not pay taxes to UK, and neither does UK has any legislative power over Canada.
Why I mentioned it as full remastering is, DSL now offers a convenient way to create your own DSL flavor using DSL extensions. But I prefer full remastering since it gives me more control.
Its mainly through trail and error that I found the steps to significantly change DSL to suit my needs. Of course few links helped me. But nearly at the end of my quest I came across a wonderful book by the creators of DSL, and I think that is the definitive guide you should read if you are interested in remastering.

I thought of creating a VMware Image of Sahana with a easy download size as much as possible. Making changes to Debian or Ubuntu is very much easy and I could have easily created a Sahana VMWare image based on that. But its not nice to expect a user to download a 700MB image to try out Sahana. So I evaluated several ISOs and finally selected DSL which is around 50M in size. After successfully running the DSL ISO in VMWare I tried to install DSL in a virtual disk. At first I create the virtual disk with QEMU and modified the VMX file to use it, I expected a SCSI virual disk and I could not get VMWare to recognize the disk I created with QEMU as SCSI.
Just because its virtual do not think licenses also become virtual ;-) so restriction with per seat licenses,ect apply equally in this virtual domain. Read http://www.vmware.com/download/eula/vmimporter_v20.html carefully ,specially section 3.6
"Licenses required for third-party software. The Software enables you to run multiple instances of third-party guest operating systems and application programs. You are responsible for obtaining any licenses necessary to operate any such third-party software, including Guest Operating Systems."
Installation on kernel 2.6.24 is messy , the reason is VMWare is not up to speed to generate vmmon modules for the latest kernel.
I encountered the following error, since I tried to use a latest kernel. Version mismatch with vmmon module: expecting 167.0, got 161.0. You have an incorrect version of the 'vmmon' kernel module. Try reinstalling VMware Workstation.
but before this error you are most likely to get lot of compilation errors which you can get around by running any-any-patch.
so here is the recommended method to get VMWare installed in Debian.
Installing the server or the workstation involves nearly the same steps and effort. And AFAIK I know an image create for one should work in the other unless versions are highly incompatible. Server is the new entry and its Free :) How ever I think its Free as in beer not Free as in Speech :( Need to spend some time to figure out the license.
The future might be the Server , but for the moment I thought to stick with the workstation.
Read the following links for comprehensive coverage for you to come to a decision.
KVM needs support from processor (and maybe from BIOS,chipset,ect), which is exactly why it will be faster. In Intel this is called "VT or Vanderpool Technology". thus, first run cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep flag then if either vmx or svm is in the output you are lucky and can install KVM. Fortunately KVM packages are already in Debian Etch repositories and KVM support is inbuilt in the latest kernels. Thus unless you explicitly did something , KVM modules should already be installed. you just need to install KVM user space programs. hence you can omit kvm-source in the following apt-get
