Hi, Just wondering if anyone more familiar with shell programming than I had any ideas how to write a script that would take a client's IP address (as assigned by a DHCP server) and email to a user? I have recently configured my system as a DHCP client, and would like such a script, to avoid hav

It seems you are right - it does load faster 2nd time, and the HD does spin a lot. I played a bit with hdparm utility to tune my HD, and found that enabling DMA allowed me to boost HD read performance from 4Mb/s to 11.2 Mb/s (as reported by hdparm -t). Now my emacs loads in about 2 secs, but xe
