[Heart-throb.] It was late last August when we were all sweltering and I mentioned having had a file of 130 :abbrvs that fit vi. Somebody said that he would like to see my list and a search couldn't find it. I did find lists of the top-N most frequently used words in English, but the rest of it was gone. I Spent a few hours today re-creating the abbreviations as they were back in the late 90's. Back then I was interested in saving my keystrokes. So that I might type: i wll kEp trak v m hrs evry wk. and vi would translate that to I will keep track of my hours every week. Overall, tests found that clever abrevs would save around 31% if you learns ~130 words. Now my goal is to output words that festival and ktts will turn into sounds. This will let me use homonyms, since the output will be spoken rather than read. So thr taking thr stuf ovr the. would translate to: They're taking their stuf over there.

I can believe that Lexmark has made bad printers, but if you can still find an Optra T, they're great. Having recently spent some time in a place where I fixed Lexmarks on a regular basis I'd find that very had to believe. I'd steer clear of any Lexmark printer, but the T's were the biggest white elephant I've ever come across- and I have worked on just about every make known. I'd repair around 100 a week, and many I'd seen the previous week with a different error. The error codes are enigmatic, and the repair procedures (by Lexmark themselves) have no clue as to what is really happening. You just get used to whats what and fix it. And that was just recent experience. My longer term experience shows me that this is not an age related problem but an inherent lack of experience in building printers. IBM make computers- they make very shit printers, but they were tired of losing to the competition who were good at making printers, so they decided to throw their hat in the ring as well. Quality wise they don't even rate either. I'd say Xerox, HP, Canon are competitive- at the higher end are good photo laser. Kyocera, HP make the most durable and reliable workgroup class- Kyocera offer a cheaper rate than any. Oki... not entirely sure. They used to make cheap photocopiers which were reasonable. Canon and Kyocera SOHO personal lasers are neck and neck. The rest are so so. But by far my worst experience has been pretty much anything with Lexmark on it- ink or laser. Inkjets its between Epson and Canon, Epson are good to OSS and Canon are cheap to run. Epson definitely produce a better photo though. But an Epson laser is very expensive to fix. I have a Samsung colour laser which I had some driver issues with (but got it working very well now), and I've used Canon inkjets and Xerox personal lasers. I am a tech and I know what runs and what the monthly output ratings are, as well as service counters. The monthly output of a workgroup Lexmark is not even a third of the Kyocera SOHO laser- that should tell you something: 100,000 pages a month for a Kyocera 1020D (personal/SOHO), compared to 30,000 for a Lexmark T630 (workgroup). Ridiculous to think they'd even compete! Plus the Kyocera is around $500-600 compared to $3000 for Lexmark? I've seen the Lex get replaced by 2 1020D's- redundancy and duplexing for 1/3 the price! Not even a second thought...

Need to compile kernel for 2 or more processors?
Hello all. I hope this question does not sound so stupid. I am sorry in advance. I am doing my guideline of the activities I need to do to change an old 2 processors INtel 386 machine with 1GB of ram and 30GB of hard disk. The machine is working fine but after more than 10 years of working will be replaced for a new machine (could be an i3, i7, or xeon maybe). This one will be honored and will continue working as our secondary DNS. Actually is running Freebsd version 7.3 PRERELEASE . I will updated to 7.3 RELEASE. This machine has 2 physical processors and I remember that on old version of FreeBSD I have to compile the kernel so the second processor could be seen. I still do not know aht processor will be but I am looking for the strongest and cheapest combination of motherboard and processor. Anyway, I was wondering, if it is only one physycal processor with 2-4 embedded (xeon by exmaple) I guess that actually we do not have to change the kernel so all processors can be seen? Am I right ? By the way, if you can suggest based on experience the best combination on price performance of motherboard/processor to follow (not necessary the latest one) please let me know.

Can a home LAN server use a jail as a router?
Hello. Is it possible to use FreeBSD to create three jails on one box, so that one jail can be a router to the internet, and the other two can be webservers? I wanted to create an environment where if one webserver got compromised, the other webserver would be unaffected. I have old hardware, so I do not have hardware VT in the chip. I thought I previously read that a jail could only have 1 NIC, but I have not been able to confirm that. That would spoil my router plan, if true. I'm more familiar with Linux than FreeBSD, but Linux seems to be moving from Xen towards KVM (which requires VT). I could use Xen, probably on Debian if I did. Xen seems to require a specially built Linux kernel on Debian, and I'm not sure I like that. I'd also like to set up a personal samba file-server, but I'm deathly afraid the machine would get hacked while wired to the net. So I would also like to make a jail to be a samba server. All these jails are predicated on one of them being able to act as a router between the internet and my home LAN. I want some jails to talk the internet (via the router jail), and some jails to only be available in my house. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

As for being a router I don't know- I'm not sure you can access the sysctl needed, or whether the sysctl will affect the host (and therefore other services and jails). And thirdly I'm not sure of the validity of it. Jail your services and run a firewall (pf?) on the host. That will control who can get to what, and allow you to 'route' your network the way you want to. I'm sure someone else could point out any security flaws in this scenario, but it should do what you want and be relatively secure. I'd be reading up on Jails and understanding exactly what they are and what they are not too. They aren't actual 'emulators' per se, they are more a locked up chroot system. Make sure that is exactly what you want/need.

Archiving directories / zip format
Dear all, From time to time I want to archive a quite a few directories to download them conveniently. I have been using tar to do it, endingin up with a tar.gz file. But the problem with it is that I do not have a unix machine at home so if I want to extract something or unpack the content, there is no easy way to do that. My question basically is if there is a way to end up with a zip file? Or are there any windows tools to unzip and/or extract content from tar.gz files? Many thanks in advance!
