My house machines: P3 850 - Gentoo (iptables firewall, Nat/DNAT, ssh, Samba 3.0.10 primary domain controller) Athlon 1000 - wife/kid pc, XP Pro Athlon 64 3000+ (1.8 ->2.034) Tri boot Ubuntu Hoary 5.10 AMD64, XPPro, XPPro x64 (my toy) - BeyondTV 3.5, Quake 3, Enemy Territory, etc.
Had issues getting my canon i850 to work under cups, so I gave up and reconnected it back to the wife's computer. IBM Thinkpad iSeries Celeron 533 - Ubuntu 4.10 Warty (mp3 jukebox, bout all its good for) Linux is just a geek toy for me. I do too much multimedia to consider it a viable desktop option at this point (and believe me, I've put in the manhours trying to get mythtv/freevo to work right) Andrew On Wed, 19 Jan 2005 08:09:47 -0600, James Kuhns <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Debian-woody(DMZ) - email server with virus scanner and spam filter, web > server, inhouse dns server, NTP (time) server > Debian-sarge - backup server, file server through samba, some perl > development, trying to run MythTV > Smoothwall(headless) - firewall > > I wish the ivtv drivers would mature a little (cable on my WinPVR-250 card > is extremly grainy) and I'm still looking for a decent driver for my printer > so I can hang it off my file server.
