I don't know about Reiser, but on other file systems you can specifiy
the block/cluster size, if this isn't the same on both of your

which would have the effect you're seeing...
That's the thing. Both filesystems are
Now that is strange. I'd expect it if they were different block sizes,
and possibly if they were different file systems but not if they're the
same filesystem.
I'm stumped for ideas. Have you tried backing up to an ext3 filesystem?

Change your search terms - what you want is a Wireless Router with a
Gigabit switch. I found a couple from Belkin and Netgear. If the price
is too much, try the following alternative:
Cool, will have a look, thanks!
Save yourself some hassle and replace the Ubuntu server with IPCop and

I would prefer not to have to buy another two devices (gigabit swtich
and wireless AP) to implement the solution.

Great responses! Thanks everyone. I think it comes down to some people view

I don't have a great deal of experience with cups but if you post your
error log from /var/log/cups (just after you boot and it fails to load)
maybe it will shed some light.
The log is just one line:

Why? What is there in Gutsy that isn't in Feisty that you _need_?
Feisty is still supported
You can also do this through the Software Sources application on the

Not usually on a server :)
