1> Has anyone played with some form of Stream broadcasting software for
Linux?  I found ICECAST, and instantly HATE it...  The downloads fail, the
two downloads I *did* get arent complete, and subsequently tar doesnt wanna
know, so I was wondering if there's a mirror (to www.icecast.org) or an
alternative thats co-operative

2> For use on a desktop, I've found that RedHat is pretty reasonable.  One
toy I'm having current difficulty with is Yahoo Messenger.  I can install
this, and run it, successfully...  but when I reboot the machine (need the
power socket for the vacuum cleaner every now and again) I find that I cant
log in as the user, and startx...  it just wont start...  Only happens AFTER
I install Yahoo

3> Linux PDC + Macintosh PPC client = Eeeurgh!  This is enough to have a man
hairless by the time next wednesday rolls around!  There's an easy way to do
this, yes?  Has anyone had a go at this?  Successfully?

4> Just bought a Play Station 2 with Gran Turismo 3.  The reason I bought a
PS2 over an XBox is that someone told me that you can buy a Linux kit for
it, and it'll run a 'butchered' version of Linux quite tidily...  Anyone
have any information about this?

5>  Home server...

4 * 200 P Pro
512 Megs Ram
6 * 4GB Hot Swap SCSI drives ( 2 * Raid1, 4 * Raid5)
56k Modem (::sudden embarrassment::)

wvdial and IPTables firewall/NAT effort
I've found that, to get a default route to the modem, I can manually type...
route add default gw <IP address of PPP0 connection here>
Can I get WVDIAL to do this by itself?

That'll about do, I reckon!  Thanks for any help you might be able to
offer...

Andy
