Just yesterday I sat down with Jeff Allen, a good friend I work with, and we created this: http://backslider.net/ogrstats/bugjuice.html. It’s purpose is to parse logs from the distributed.net proxy and create some readable statistics from it. Jeff did most of the perl work since he’s quite a bit more talented with it than I, so kudos to him. We started with source pulled from FreeDCs forums, with alpha’s permission. Here’s the current 0.3.awesome version of the perl code. bugjuice
Read more about this in the Ars DC forum thread for this project.

The problem: within vmware you may experience an issue booting your virtual machine off of a gparted iso (the reason you would want to do this is to resize your partition) and you wind up with a black screen after it attempts to mount a scsi device for 20 minutes or so.
The fix: open up the .vmx file in a text editor and find the line that says ’scsi0.present = “TRUE”‘ and change “TRUE” to “FALSE”.
This solved my problem and vmware booted right up and I was able to resize the partition. I found the fix here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=685702
