ISP Information:
This describes what happens when a highly trafficked website links to a smaller website, and sends such a large amount of traffic towards the smaller website over a short period of time that the website becomes inaccessible, or at least very slow. The phrase was first used to describe the effect that Slashdot.org had when it linked to small sites in its daily news items.
ISP Glossary:
Slashdot Effect - Searching the archives for myself, I found a reply I made thatprobably wasn't all that helpful, and there is one question I could ask aRussian: Why Mandrake? It looks vaguely like they're trying to make Linuxharder than it should be while simultaneously providing that GUI look thatreal linux users instal from source, just to be sure the executable wasgeared to their machine.From: Serial # 19781010 Date: Sun, 28 Dec 2003 08:39:36 +0300He couldn't make KPPP work. He couldn't make minicom work. Hecouldn't diagnose any port conflicts that this particular 2.4.18-6MDKKernel might configure into the plug-n-pray (or fail to eliminate from thesoftware-configured device ports).So? What happened? Get you online with the neighbour more often?
