If you want *good* color, look into Xerox. Seriously. They are not as costly as you may be expecting. My experience with inkjet is that it produces inferior results, and saves little or no money if you consider the cost of ink, esp. when you have to pitch a 3/4-full cartridge because it clogged up.

Depends on just what you need. If you just want to cover a system failure, then maybe you should get some USB connected hard drives. They are pretty cheap now. If you have 4 80 GB drives to back up, then get at least 3 drives with 350 GB space or more. Use fdisk/disklabel/newfs to create 4 (or more) 90 GB filesystems on each drive. Then set up a rotation of those drives so you use dump(8) to back up each current file system that has important data to those USB drives. So, PC A gets dumped to filesystem da0s1a, PC B to da0s1b, etc. Say there is a root, /usr and /data file systems that you want to back up, just for example, then you would plug in the USB disk and mount them something like this. On PC A, mount /da0s1a /pcabak dump 0aLf /pcabak/root.bak / dump 0aLf /pcabak/usr.bak /usr dump OaLf /pcbak/data.bak /data Then on PC B, mount /da0s1b /pcbbak dump 0aLf /pcbbak/root.bak / dump 0aLf /pcbbak/usr.bak /usr dump OaLf /pcbak/data.bak /data This will crate three appropriately named backup files for each PC on the USB disk. This is presuming the USB connects as /dev/da0 It could be something else if you have other SCSI devices. So, it might ende up as /dev/da1 or something like that. Really, you don't need all the extra partitions and filesystems. Just make one and create appropriately named directories. But the separate filesystems will enforce separation of that us useful to you. Or, since there are just exactly 4 systems and it is possible to make up to 4 slices on a drive, then make 4 slices and then partitions within each slice to match those on the current machines. Say you want, for some reason, to back up partitions a, d, e of PC A and partitions d, f, g of PC B, etc (just grabbing partitions out of the hat here to use as example here), then Make slice 1 for PC A, slice 2 for PC b, slice 3 for PC C and slice 4 for PC D on each USB disk. Then make partitions a, d, e on slice 1, d, f, g on slice 2, etc. Use newfs(8) to build file systems of each of those partitions and then use dump to create the dump files in each.That makes sense but may be more bother then really needed, since you can distinguish the dumps just by the names you give them. If you must create archive backups, then you will probably want to go to a good tape system, such as DLT or LTO tapes. But, they are so expensive relative to buying a handful of 350 - 500 GB USB hard drives that you should think carefully about your needs before deciding.

Man, this is really going to look like I'm never satisfied, which I guess is actually true, so why am I worried about that? thanks to this thread, I found out about the Brother printers ... my own requirements list includes (color duplex printer scanner). I don't need it to be a laser, but I do need both color, multifunc, and duplex printing. I spotted the Brother the DCP-9045CDN, but at $700 list, I begin to wonder if I could find one with the same specs ESCEPTING it was the cheaper technology of inkjet. Didn't find a Brother like that, but I'm not finished looking for used 9045's, and I didn;'t get your comments about it ... please don't spend time trying to talk me out of features like color, or duplex, I like both too well. I might be talked out of it being multifunction, but it's be a fight for sure. The reasoning behind going to inkjet is because I'm currently on a tight budget. I really would like to pay no more than about half that $700. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFIQz4tz62J6PPcoOkRAmFZAKCJ4AJcZx5LpsXUdeVVVWA+fD7I6wCeMNLK 3iU8Y97qg1foFf0i7ICxWn4= =I3NO -END PGP SIGNATURE- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

My natd.conf is as below: unregistered_only use_sockets log_ipfw_denied redirect_address 10.100.1.2 66.92.79.20 alias_address 66.92.79.89 Whenever I run with this configuration all clients except the static'ed one lose routing out of the building. I have tried switching the order of the alias_address and redirect_address.

Re: 7-STABLE Watchdog Timeout
Jos, I tried setting "PNP OS" to both "YES" and "NO." Neither made any sort of difference.

The OP asked a question that cannot be answered by a few simple posts to a mailing list. Whole books have been writen that cover nothing other than how to build a mailserver. Because the question is unanswerable, (at least in this forum and format) what your going to get instead is the big dick war. I'd advise you to just ignore it as I have done - indeed, this is my first and only contribution to the thread - the only reason I even bothered looking at it at all, was because I was surprised to see the thread still alive, and as your name was on a posting I figured that something really interesting must have been under discussion.

Re: NFS drops with em0 driver
Subhro Hello Subhro, I have nothing to add besides a "me too." I ended up replacing my em0 with an fxp0 and all of my networking issues (watchdog timeouts, link dropping/reconnection, etc.) disappeared. This may have been flaky hardware. Do you have another NIC you can try with? i use em network on FreeBSD 6.3/amd64, normal sheduler, all works fine. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

CPU info
Slightly off-topic I think: can someone tell me if where I can find a program in the ports to watch various system information (Core temperature, etc) that works from the system prompt?
