I use my computer as a workstation and thus I think it would be a good idea
to be able to switch it of as user without being root.
Well, what about su?

Simon,
Is this thing still on, while you wait to see what to do with it?
Just reboot it. It's not a problem.
If it turns out to be a problem (5% chance), you can download a rescue floppy
image from the internet and create a rescue disk with a Windows machine.
If you have any Debian install

rescue.bin is the size of an *unformatted* floppy.

That should be perfectly straightforward... but while a floppy has

I, like at least 75% of people, don't run telnetd.

This is a bad sign on its own. Were the fans blocked? Do you have power
management setup properly?
Certainly Debian will run under VPC *if* RedHat can.
Are you running OS X? Consider running a rootless X server on your Mac native,
and telling Linux apps to display their output, via the network, there.
VPC can network with the host environment, right?

The eaisest and most failsafe way to secure bind is to install djbdns.

And this is what djb has to say for zone transfers :-)
Zone transfers are an archaic alternative mechanism for copying DNS

Can someone explain to me why (1) I am swapping even though the
RSS column adds up to a small fraction of 256MB (2) Why the summary stats
Linux does preemptive swapping. AFAIK, you can't turn it off, and if
Hey,
Under, say, 128MB of RAM, this makes a lot of sense, but when you go to half
and gig and beyond, it becomes less useful.
However, under such situations there is no penalty for swapping. The
swapped pages are cached in RAM. The idea is that the kernel is getting
a head start just in
Hey,
In that case it sounds to me like there is a genuine problem on my
system. Even if the swap is cached in RAM, this doesnt explain the stats
reported by top : the 8M of swap + the total of the RSS column doesnt come
close to the 229M that is reported as being used. Are there any
Woah, forgot to inset my message!
What I was going to say:
The used memory stat is buggy - it's never correct because it cannot compensate
for shared libraries.

Hey,
If you're on a workstation, you probably don't need to be [or IMO, shouldn't
be] running an MTA at all.
You can install ssmtp and fetchmail/getmail, and may find that you no longer
need an MTA at all.
ssmtp is a replacement for sendmail that uses your ISP's smarthost to send all
mail sent
Ani,
The Largedisk-HOWTO is a little unclear about this, but I take it that Linux
couldn't give a monkys about the disk size specifed in the BIOS and will
address the full size of the disk (as long as it's below 127Gb). Is that
right?
This is true, however, the big implication of BIOS
Ani,
Ah okay, then now I get what was said in the HOW-TO. Maybe I should have read
the whole way through but shouldn't the bit about 1024 cycinder limmit be
self explantory?
Forgive me, but.. huh?
