Dreamhost makes it stupid easy to assign a IPv6 address to your account; just log into your panel, click on your domain, then just click Add IP Address and that’s it. I also added an [...]
Really thought I lost the LVM share. There might actually be a bug in the PowerPC Debian kernel that causes it to kernel panic on large LVM partitions.

The instructions provided here should work for both Intel and PPC builds (maybe others?) of Ubuntu and Debian Linux. Run this command to get the pre-req packages needed to build MiniDLNA: sudo apt-get install libexif-dev libjpeg62-dev libid3tag0-dev [...]
