Re: [SLUG] Optus Dial-Up Internet
watch out though as Dingoblue (and hence optus I gather since I don't think there's anything special with the hardware/connection for dingoblue versus optusnet customers) block inbound ports 25 and 80 (and possibly others). This means you can't run your own web or mail server (well not on standard ports or not without some trickery). What about Optus's Cable and DSL services.

Re: [SLUG] ext2 or ext3?
ext3 by a long shot; by default, it uses ordered writes (a kind of journalling), so your data is safer, and you don't have to wait through laborious fscks when you start up. You can also turn on full data journalling, which, whilst slower, is safer again (it's also oddly faster for some kinds of operations).

Sometimes (too often) I am working on my Mandrake 8.1 machine and suddenly everything grinds to a halt making me have to do a cold boot.

My machine also freezes up completly sometimes when using Mozilla, I am running Kondara 2.0(Redhat 7.1 base System) I have found that Mozilla trashes the system often if I right click a link and choose save, needless to say, I don't do this anymore!

[SLUG] Does java compiler with Suns JDK supports multiprocessors in Linux
Hello I have had a look on the web, but can't seem to find much information on this. Does anyone know if the java compilers and runtime environments included with Suns JDK 1.3 and 1.4 take advantage of a multiprocessor linux system(Assume a fairly recent stable kernel) or will they use(in a 2 processor system) just one processor. I want to speed up compile times but am not sure if a multiprocessor system will do it.

I thought you were just trying to create the filesystem. fdformat only works on devices with a major number of 2. You can't simply delete this check and recompile the program, because the format mechanism is different. Standard floppy controllers format track-by-track, that is, they need to be told to format each track in turn. SCSI devices, however, have a format command which formats the entire device at once. IIRC, you need to specify the device parameters in the format command. I was thinking that it'd be fairly easy to write a SCSI format program, but I needed some information to do so. A quick google search turned up this: http://pantransit.reptiles.org/prog/archive/scsifmt.c According to the comments, it's supposed to check that the device is a Zip drive, but although there's code present to do that check, the function is never called. The only thing I'm not sure of is whether it needs to be changed to pass tracks/sectors/heads/sector size in the format command. I don't have a SCSI floppy drive on which to test it ...
