Will Nutch use a distributed crawler, like Grub?

FAQ - Nutch Wiki
Distributed crawling can save download bandwidth, but, in the long run, the savings is not significant. A successful search engine requires more bandwidth to upload query result pages than its crawler needs to download pages, so making the crawler use less bandwidth does not reduce overall bandwidth requirements. The dominant expense of operating a search engine is not crawling, but searching. Search engines work hard to construct ranking algorithms that are immune to manipulation.

How does GNU GRUB differ from Erich's original GRUB?

Will this complete eliminate my white grub problem?

Milky Spore FAQ's - Japanese Beetles.
We can only wish. My lawn as been treated for a few years now, and this year is the first year I see totally ZERO brown patches. So my grub problem seemed totally gone, but while digging to plant tree fertilizer spikes, I found a white grub. I asked around. It seems that a healthy lawn can tolerate a level of grubs, and have no sizes of the grub infestation. Since my yard was initially very sick, it seems that the lawn's health wasn't hiding the damage the white grubs were doing.

How do I know if I have grubs or if the grub control was effective?

Wilson Lawn Garden Home Pest Control Weed Insect Disease Rat...
The easiest way to check for grubs is to cut and turn over a square foot section of the grass. In mid to late summer grubs are found feeding in the top couple of inches of soil. If there are more than 5 grubs per square foot you can expect damage to your lawn if left untreated. If you are trying to determine if a grub control application was effective, use the same process about 2 weeks after the application.

What partition does GRUB look for the config file on?

GRUB FAQ -- Frequently Asked Questions
GRUB looks for the config file in the default root partition, unless a partition name was included at the beginning of the config file name when it was installed (in that case it ignores the default). To keep matters simple, it is recommended that when installing, ALWAYS use the "p" option in the "install=" command when the stage2 file is in a partition type readable by GRUB, which will force default root partition to be the same as where the stage2 is (i.e.

If Milky Spore reduces my Grub Problem such I don't see it, should I ever care again?

Milky Spore FAQ's - Japanese Beetles.
far as I can tell, no. I've heard of test showing that the spores were present in soil 20 years after their application. So if you get a few grubs, they will die, creating more spores to kill off any other future grubs. Note: I've only been a home owner for a few years, so I'll tell you in 20. ;)
