If you know what the "bus" speed is, you can actually force/pass params to the kernel to force ATA100/ATA133/ATA66 speeds and transfer rates; as well, you can use "hdparm" to force some drive settings that may help inccrease your overall performance... > I have turned off various services (using MCC) and it seemed to help, but > not one in specific service was obvious.

Yeah - file system - are you using the standard ext3 or ReiserFS? (Or something else for that matter)...ReiserFS is great - wonderful performance and the likes...

You're going to want to find out what the chipset is for that modem - that way, you can search out the proper modem driver and get it installed - if it's not already. While in Windows, do a RIGHT-CLICK on "My Computer" and choose MANAGE - then on the left side, choose DEVICE MANAGER, then scroll through and find your modem - expand that branck, then highlight it and RIGHT-CLICK and then choose PROPERTIES - you should find an ADVANCED tab in there somewhere, or even the DIAGNOSTICS - when you run the DIAGNOSTIC one of the first lines it spits out is the modem ID string - that's what you need to know. Once you find out that little trite piece of info, you can browse through the www.linmodems.org page and find the driver; my telling is that it's probably a Lucent WinModem or HCF/HST/HSF PCI modem (Lucent/PCTel) - which there are drivers for...so all is not lost yet... -- Sat Aug 30 21:20:00 EST 2003 21:20:00 up 5 days, 11:06, 3 users, load average: 0.82, 0.76, 0.62 - |____ | illawarra computer services| | /-oo /| |'-. | http://kma.0catch.com | | .\__/ || | | |========| | _ / `._ \|_|_.-' | stephen kuhn | | | / \__.`=._) (_ | email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] | - linux user #:267497 linux machine #:194239 * MDK 9.1+ & RH 9 Mandrake Linux Kernel 2.4.21-13mdk Cooker for i586 - * This message was composed on a 100% Microsoft free computer * "If Jesus came back today, and saw what was going on in his name, he'd never stop throwing up." -- Max Von Sydow's character in "Hannah and Her Sisters" Want to buy your Pack or Services from MandrakeSoft?

There are an unbelievable amount of linux users here - those that dual boot and those that are just hardcore into it full on, flat out and over the top. That group ain't been happy with the SCO charade. Go figure. 4.) SCO's on the verge of loosing out in Australia very shortly. A lot of medical based systems were BOUND to SCO and due to it's lack of flexibility, lack of performance, lack of really anything "modern", a few agencies are looking to get out of the contracts they have because, well, Unixware sucks bigtime, and doesn't have near the feature set that GNU/linux has - nor will it ever. Maybe what the bloke in Sydney said doesn't gel with the "yank stance" from SCO's HQ in Mormonland, but it's quite close to the truth of where they're standing right now.

So...whatever you want to start digging into - well, it's there...the
obvious place to start would be in the html directory...
Here's a hint, though, mate...if you're just playing around and testing,
why not create subdirectories off like:
/var/www/html/test/mysite01
/var/www/html/test/mysite02
...and so on - this gives you the ability to maintain some semblance of
order and neatness in the /var/www/html directory - and you can very
easily delete your failures without affecting anything else...ay?

Maybe you should consider paying SCO in schooners of Guiness instead of USD? And of course they're arrogant - most US based businesses can't be bothered to figure out the monetary conversion of other countries and they're generally of the mindset that there ain't nothing outside of the US except for trinkets and beads and 15 foot stone wheels used for money...(all this coming from an ex-yank living in Oz, ay?) Else, if you don't want to give SCO USD or Guiness, you can charge for body fluids. Body fluids are rather expensive; you can drain the contents of your stomach into a zip-lock bag and send that to'em - it's obviously worthwhile to a scientist or biologist somewhere - there would be enough value placed on it with them - so why not with SCO?

[newbie] ATTENTION: SCO and the FTC
>From the RedHat list: Let's get back... -Forwarded Message- Subject: [staph] SCO and the FTC Date: 21 Aug 2003 09:44:59 -0400 [From a Slashdot posting] I just got off the phone with the FTC. If everyone calls and complains then the chances they will investigate SCO goes up. They look for patterns. In other words, if the majority of their calls are about SCO then they will investigate. It is time to take the Slashdot effect to the phones. These are the key points to make: -You did not purchase software from SCO -The company that "produced" your software did not purchase it from SCO -It was not marketed or packaged by SCO -Despite this SCO is asking for $199 from home users (You) and $699 from business for 1 CPU They will ask for your name, phone number, address etc. That is mostly to verify your identity and citizenship I think. Here is the number: 1-877-382-4357 option 4 They are nice and listen well. The lady I talked to even took the time to get a better understanding of what Linux is. The best quote from her "You didn't purchase it from them and they want you to pay them? That sounds crazy." -- Call FTC 1-877-382-4357 opt 4 -You didn't buy from SCO -Vendor didn't either -They want $199 ... Here's some information that may help. They actually asked for this info: The SCO Group 355 South 520 West Suite 100 Lindon, Utah 84042 801-765-4999 phone The guy I spoke with was actually somewhat familiar with what Linux is. One of his first questions was how this company got involved with me, which my answer was "Well, that's the problem. They didn't." He eventually asked if SCO has contacted me personally with regard to this situation, which they have not. Don't lie to them. Be completely truthful. At the end of the call I got a reference number, and he said that if SCO does contact me personally, I should call back and let them know. It was very easy to do, and took about 5 minutes of my time. The recording while I wated for the counselor to pick up the phone did say that the FTC does track trends in complaints. If we get enough people to complain, something will happen.
