No, unfortunately. There is no support for bootable parallel port devices
under Linux.

Actually, the Pentium II 400MHz processor still pulls out a bit further than
you'd imagine. It even would be its PPC MHz-counterpart on integer
performance. However, the PPC itself has a superior floating point unit. I
would attribute the larger integer performance to the Pentium II's large
cache. We all know why the PPC has a faster floating point unit.

Except the watchdog may miss it. It's not very long to enable it, read
the ID, then disable it. (Though I do agree about those of us
blessed with Linux. :))

I do that with Lynx all the time (for a while today, I was running a

http://www.anonymizer.com/ for one. :)
There are a couple more tricky hacks out for both Apache and Squid proxy
servers to strip cookies, discard ads, and strip animated GIFs to one
frame.

And it's really the only application that will work.
It "enables ecommerce" because it will allow vendors to get rid of CD
dongles.

Are you noticing any "clicking" noises from the disk? If so - 99 times out
of 100 they are bad sectors on the hard drive. Do a fsck check with the -c
option (check bad blocks) and see if it reports any problems.

The onboard chipset of most computers is well capable of handling the
115/230Kbps (kilo-bits) needed for a modem. But, to answer your question,
there are external USB devices that have none of the problems of the
aforementioned.

Things that can be _fully_ disabled, not the software hack, by the BIOS
would eliminate all "threat" of having your identity spewed across the
wired. The Pentium III was never meant to have the Chip ID on whether you
liked it or not. The BIOS itself can deny any query to the chip's ID.

True - however, it _must_ remain optional for several reasons:
1) By the end of the year 1999 we will have seen about 1% of the market
shift from pre-P3 processors to the new P3.
2) Anti-trust laws dictate that even simple authentication over
phone/Internet cannot be _forced_.
3) Major software manufacturers are _already_ aware of this whole
"skepticism" about the chip ID. -- you know, we are not geniuses in
figuring this out.
4) The people who are excited about it are those who are the most paranoid
about it.
>(Of course, at this moment the P3 isn't worth it anyway, but that's
>typical Intel pricing policy.)
This is pretty funny considering I was absolutely amazed at the introductory
price of the P3-500. The 450MHz P2 started out at $875 per quantities of
50. The 500MHz P3 started out at $600 per quantities of 100 - which means
an end-user could see a $700-800 price tag versus the $950 price tag of the
450.
But, I agree that the processor isn't worth $600 when you can by a Celeron
400MHz processor @ $150 or an AMD K6-3 450MHz @ $225.

Some older BIOSes allowed you to turn off the math co-processor on your
system. Look for this setting and try it. The "coupling" part was to
ensure that your math co-processor is correctly "listening" to the main
processor for floating point instructions.

I have an Adaptec 2940UW card in my system as well. Is the hard drive
ultra-wide SCSI? If not, then your card has to "slow" itself down (drop the
sync-transfer rate) to what the drive can handle. This sometimes causes a
bottle-necked card when transferring large amounts of data across the SCSI
bus. But, seeing how the 2940 is a bus-mastering card, it's odd that it
would be causing that much problems with your system.
Do this:
Check the CPU usage with the "top" utility while copying a large file over.
If you see that "cp" or "system" is using all of your processor, then you
definitely have a bottle-neck problem with your SCSI bus.

If you're die-hard on getting rid of ISA cards, then the 128 PCI will work.
The 128 PCI is nearly the same as the Ensoniq AudioPCI. Thus, both are
supported by the new 2.2.x kernel. However, a good work-horse card (SB
AWE64 value) is excellent for MP3 and gaming.

I have had two K6's (1 K6 and 1 K6-2) and have installed Linux without a
problem whatsoever.
We also have a 300MHz K6-2 in the department that runs Solaris x86 (a very
finicky UNIX-OS) without a problem.
