You can't beat compaq for reliability, except for
one of our quad PIII zeon proliants which has currently

Hi Nick ( co),
OK I'll admit it .with regards to Linux I'm pretty much a
newbie :)
The only experience I have with Linux was when I was given a Linux for

This seems to be a reccuring theme - how about making, say, every third

Hi,
Recently, since compiling nmap, I have been noticing that the switch port my
ADSL modem (Alcatel Speed Touch Home) is plugged into has been experiencing

No worries at all, have used them for that before, also years ago when these machines

Not entirely OT, but how do you find the Telstra cable service Julian?
Outstanding. With Jetstream I had 4MB (as we're a wee way from the
exchange). With Telstra I've got 2MB. The 2MB with Telstra is about
4-5 times faster than the 4MB with Jetstream. There's much less latency

Are you sure its a switch?
I understand that a hub would give collisions because the modem and
linux firewall would be having a lot to say to each other, then when
the traffic goes the other machine on the network it would
collide but a switch isn't supposed to do that.
Ok,

Thats not the collision light thats the open source alert light signalling back to the

Just a note to those that might be interested in a different distro.
Sorcerer is one of a few distros that do not distrbute binaries, the
whole install process and package management is done from source.
Questions are asked about your system (processor etc) and you get to
configure your kernel
I was reading about this distro yesterday, sound
very nicehas anyone elseused
