The mail server is now operational again.
Thank you for your patience.
(Lord knows I needed some myself. -_-)

So Roxie, the dog, stayed here another week... just as I suspected. Apparently, the owner couldn't move into his new home yet, so we had to keep the dog for another week. It wasn't so bad, but the cat was obviously not overjoyed by this. I wasn't too happy either, when I found dog piss dripping into the basement -_-
Anyhow... the dog left yesterday night. She was really happy to see her owner... and I was really happy to see her go >_>
The cat seems to be feeling better, too.
College semester's over, and I did well on my exams, I'd say. Onto the next one!
As for server-related things, it seems things are looking up. Knoppix 4 booted without a hitch, and I was able to get everything up and running again with few problems and corrections. The next reboot will use the official Knoppix 4, not that I think it'll make much of a difference.
Also, while the mail server is still down, it seems that I'll be able to get postfix up and running soon. And my To Do list is looking mighty small now =)
And now, to work on the shoutbox more often.

So, apparently my problems in Knoppix have been caused by a faulty UNIONFS shipped in version 3.9. I'm going to have to try to upgrade to 4.0, DVD or no DVD. Failing that, fall back to 3.8. The "load average" keeps climbing for some odd reason, now that I've got a frozen program; the odd part about it is that there is hardly any harddrive or CPU activity, as usual.
Hopefully, this won't cause some kind of overload before I'm ready to reboot and upgrade.
On a different yet still somewhat geeky topic, I've been toying with a certain idea for a while now: installing a MySQL database on my PC, to store various sorts of information for myself. Kind of a large address book, but for all kinds of information. I figure that if I program a front-end for this, people could install this program and store all kinds of info too, with full ability to shape the "container" of their data.
So far, I've got six tables: characters (for roleplay characters I create or encounter), people (for people I know), product_keys (You never want to lose registration data.), stories (self-explanatory, mostly), texts (random blobs of text), blobs (random blobs of data). Hopefully, using the "BLOB" data type, I'll be able to store actual files/documents, without having to convert them in any fashion.
...There are things I need to tell some people, but I'm too afraid, or shy to...

Server's back online, but...

Strange things are happening. First, the swap drive stopped responding overnight. I think it was due to ACPI being disabled, and the BIOS shutting off the drive (I have it set to shut off the harddrives after 15 minutes of inactivity; Windows has no problem with this and knows how to turn them back on, but Linux... well, maybe not?).
I had to shut the server off again, but the drive in another computer and test it, then put it back in the server. I forced ACPI to be on (I noticed this time around that ACPI was not being enabled), so hopefully this won't happen again.
This hasn't been the only problem I've been getting, though.
An unrelated issue's bothered me even more: I get a directory that causes ls to segfault/irrevocably freeze when looked at. The first time, it was /var/mail/input; it didn't happen again after the reboot, but..
...it happened again with /var/spool.
*sigh* =/
