I am so ignorant, or absent minded. I got a new router, WRTP54G, and installed it early this morning. In the process, I forgot to remember that in powering down my modem, and router, Comcast gave me a new IP address. Once I went to my registrar, for domain fyrenice.com, and updated the IP there, the email started working again. I have a dyndns account...but am still confused about how that all works. Is that the way to avoid problems when comcast happens to change my IP address? I have tried to use gparted to expand my / drive on my etch machine (the one under my monitor) and it lets me shrink or expand partitions within the extended partition, but doesn't allow me to MOVE those partitions. I want to free up space, then move the partitions to the right, to give room to the / partition so I can expand it, but the option to expand space before the existing partitions is greyed out. Anyway, I am tempted to just reformat this etch system...and set up my partitions with more space. Do you have any recommendations for how to carve up a new drive, i.e., how much space for /, /home, /usr, /var, et al? Thanks for your reply to this.
