Re: [SLUG] Is SATA a viable upgrade for aging Linux workstations?
Hi Andrew, I can't speak for the benefits of SATA over PATA in general, but I have succeeded in setting up Linux on such a system (Intel ICH5 chipset, Seagate 120Gb SATA drive). Being my first linux install in a number of years, I struggled with the new hardware, but got it working in the end. First main attempt involved installing debian woody on an old IDE drive in the same machine, upgrading the kernel to 2.4.22 (from memory) or better and then installing onto the new disk. The old IDE disk crashed on me before that process was completed. Second main attempt involved trying an hdd Knoppix install. It was flaky for some reason I can't remember and couldn't figure out (probably not SATA related), so I gave up on that approach. Finally, I discovered I could install Debian woody bf24 direct to the SATA drive, and updated to debian sarge and kernel 2.6.4. I had other problems with the setup, but I believe they were related to some combination of LVM (device-mapper), APM (I needed to turn it off) and possibly some ext3 bugs in earlier 2.6 kernels. I only just recently figured out the kernel options needed to get DMA working on the drive (55Mb/s is much better than 3Mb/s :) ). In short, I don't see a benefit in going to SATA at this stage, especially if you don't want to run a nearly bleeding edge kernel. My knowledge of the potential benefits are minimal (first new personal computer _and_ linux install in several years made for a lot of catching up on what's new), so someone else may be able to offer more insight there.

My knowledge of the potential benefits are minimal (first new personal computer _and_ linux install in several years made for a lot of catching up on what's new), so someone else may be able to offer more insight there. Personally I haven't gone SATA yet, I don't reckon I will change to it until it catchs on a lot more. Besides I've already made an investment into 2 x 120gb PATA drives, 1 x 60GB PATA and 1 x 80gb PATA. Neither of my 2 computers support SATA, and I had no intension of installing a PCI SATA card. I think maybe the end of next year I might explore it, maybe when it comes time to upgrade. A friend recently just built a new machine with SATA 120gb drive. I've not had much feedback from him, so I am guessing he hasn't really noticed the difference. Maybe it might pay to explore SATA a little more and then make an informed/educated decision. -mf -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html

Kevin, For fax you can use hylafax or fgetty, (hylafax is easier to implement and you can use some windows fax clients to connect to it to send faxes.)

Make sure it's an external serial voice capable modem (a lot of them are and all the ones I've found also do fax). Some of them are not so good at distinguishing the types of calls in this country. As for whether vgetty will play well with Hylafax I don't know. That combination I have not tried. It normally uses it's own faxgetty to answer the calls. I'd rate the chance of them working together fairly high though - maybe use one for recieve the other for transmit. Somebody also suggested to me, on another list, using Asterisk which is a linux based PABX. I've just ordered a compatible line card to see if it's much better than using voice modems.

I have several email accounts set up here that I use and the home one doesn't generate any errors yet, my yahoo account I use from here does. the error I get is this. Unrouteable address I don't understand why this is so. is there possibly something in exim4 misconfigured? I'm on optus cable and for some reason as I said above I can send to anywhere else bar this one address. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. -- Shaun Oliver I refuse to have a battle of wits with an unarmed person. email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] WEB: http://blindman.homelinux.org/~blindman/ IRC: irc.awesomechat.net: IRCNICK: blindman -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
