[gentoo-user] moving over to nouveau drivers

[gentoo-user] Something firewall-ish

As I recall, tmp was often a small, fast disk drive, compared to the slow lumbering washing machines that most data resided on. Several sites I recall had a couple of head per track drives; one would be for the swap partitions and the other was for temporary stuff that was being worked on. After th
