I wasn't sure if running all the time if they make a dent in the power bill that is what I was asking do they use so little power were it doesn't matter and you don't notice much on the power bill going up. ----- Original Message ----- From: Ian Betts To: [email protected] Sent: Tuesday, February 20, 2007 2:40 AM Subject: RE: [LINUX_Newbies] Re: hi
Dave building is a learning curve of course. Lots of newer motherboards will not fit old cases because the attachment posts are not there or there are no ports for USB fittings that now have front access.Those later clip in types can be removed and brass extensions can be bounght, but cases are cheap if you don't go for the flashy kind. Why are you using energy savers all the time? When near a power point plug in!! My computers runs 18 hours a day, but I do not bother with the electricity meter!!! -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of dave fales Sent: 19 February 2007 17:57 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [LINUX_Newbies] Re: hi yea hosting my own sight is many moons away when I learn more but for now I would like to experiment since I learn best by hands on rather then in a class room. I did some experimenting on the computer I can not put the newer amd board into that case the spot on the case were all the on board stuff sets lee the on board video like usb extra wont line up with the holes on the case and I didn't see any way to get rid of the piece of metal that all those hook through and screwing it down I could only line up 2 holes with the spots to screw the mother board in. so for now I guess I will learn on this old beast tell I can an find a real server computer that is able faster to learn on I did learn one thing if I shut off the BIOS energy saver stuff and use just the windows energy savers it will go to sleep or aperies that way and unlike when you have the on board energy saving stuff and the monster goes of then back on off then on. On networks like you have were the computer has to be on 24 hours a day or people can't get to your web sight can you or do you use energy saving stuff or can they not go to sleep so they are always ready to go. Have you noticed a large jump in the power bill or do computers really not take that much electricity to even notice a jump in electricity wise. this will be the first time I have left a computer running all the time so I guess I will see if this thing uses that much electricity does the operating energy saving sleep stuff save just about the same amount has the bios ones or has I asked do computer not use enough to even notice a jump in the power bill You visited my website, so you saw how fast the response time was. If you try visiting my websites a few more times during the week, you will then have a general idea of how well my DSL service is handling the load. I see about 200-300 visitors per day, on average, generating about 2,000-3,000 page hits per day. I am using an ATT-SBC-Yahoo commercial DSL account, which provides me with 5 static IP addresses and speeds of 3.0 Mbps downstream, 512 Kbps upstream. My entire bill...hardline service for one phone line and DSL, local calling package and long distance economy package is right around $107.00 per month. I did have to pay a one-time surcharge of about $300.00 when I upgraded from the residential DSL account I had originally signed up for. I do not know much about T1 connections, but here is something I googled up on the fly: http://www.rfcnet.com/t1specials.php?gclid=CInogO2suooCFQITIgodoFVuPg Setting up what I now have running required that I learn a lot about various things, like the OpenBSD operating system, setting up DHCP, building and troubleshooting computers, getting my servers to work correctly with my router, to get DNS resolution. I also had to learn how to customise a lot of configuration files for things related to Apache web server, sendmail, and other things in the OS. I filled in the details a bit at a time, over the course of several years, using Yahoo groups like this one and 1PCBuilder, and books purchased for pennies on the dollar on eBay, and reading a LOT of manual pages, and doing a LOT of Google searches. Doing things the way I am doing them took a lot of study, but I like understanding what I am doing as much as possible, and having as much control over my computing as I can, so for me, it was worth it. You might be able to accomplish the same thing for less money and less work, by hosting your websites with a service like GoDaddy... where I was hosting my sites for a fee of $3.99/month/site, prior to my getting the server up and running. Changing the subject... I see that you are using: X-Mailer: Microsoft Outlook Express ...to send email. I am not sure if this a function of Outlook Express, or how you are composing your emails, but I am receiving emails that are all one single paragraph. This makes them, for me at least, difficult to read. You might want to consider breaking them up into shorter paragraphs, with one idea per paragraph. -- -wittig http://www.robertwittig.com/ . http://robertwittig.net/ . http://robertwittig.org/ [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] To unsubscribe from this list, please email [EMAIL PROTECTED] & you will be removed.
