Is there any way to read like a /proc variable or something to try and figure it out? It's an internal SCSI one, so I already tried reading /proc/scsi/scsi without luck, it just gives name info, no speed.

No we don't (with or without smilies), I do not advise a firewall unless you are trying to protect some MS Windows garbage and that is a losing battle you are better off not trying to fight. These days Red Hat ships quite secure. Keep it up to date, use good passwords--passwords that you don't reuse elsewhere, turn off services you don't use, and be extremely careful about customizing things you don't understand or you can quickly open up holes Red Hat carefully didn't open. Be a bit nervous about Open Office and its scripting, it is new and might start supporting some MS scripting nasties. Be nervous about Javascript, it is not Java and was not designed with security in mind. Use a dumb e-mail program that doesn't try to do fancy stuff for you, ASCII text e-mail is safe, the fancier you get beyond that the riskier it is. Do all that and what do you need a firewall for? Have a firewall and you will be complacent and not do all that but still be vulnerable to many risks. Firewalls are treated as single magic bullets when security has to be bit by bit. A big part of being secure in Red Hat is the enormous work Red Hat has done on all the bits. - -kb, the Kent who considers firewalls medieval. - -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.0.6 (MingW32) Comment: For info see http://www.gnupg.org iEYEARECAAYFAj5LtPYACgkQUhfuBU5zU4MPogCeIaTcQ4Uljn1Bto6AWtQWmUwC w7QAnizgrmCi0FyG7gV0ETA2jlshv4TC =n19s -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]?subject=unsubscribe https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
RE: Red Hat PHP + Interbase?

RE: Getting Linux on a retail laptop, without paying for Windows
If I recall correctly, a friend that works for Informix (now part of IBM) said that the contract with Microsoft for their desktop and laptop for business and home/home office lines was just negotiated. I think we are stuck for a while with this. I just sent an email to him to confirm this. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Andy Sent: Monday, February 10, 2003 11:29 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Getting Linux on a retail laptop, without paying for Windows On Monday 10 February 2003 08:23, John Nichel wrote: > The mother of a good friend of mine is a VP for IBM (in sales), and > according to his mother, IBM is still bound by M$ contract to do this. That is what I thought. Can you have your friend find out how log this contractual obligation will be in effect?
