Hi, all. 2.5.41 has done what no other kernel, since my beginning of
Linux (~ .97?) has done: my hard drive has corruption. I knew that 2.5
had some IDE issues, but from my reading, I'd come to conclude that most
of them had been patched up in 2.5.30 or so, so I waited a while longer,

Apparently, it ain't there. The way I do it (I'm in 7.x, but I don't see
why it wouldn't work) is:
1) Kill my current window manager (eg. "killall sawfish")
2) Startup up the window manager I want ("nohup enlightenment&")
3) Save my session (Foot -> Programs -> Settings -> Session -> Save curren
Hey, all. It appears to me that OpenLDAP has an almost complete dearth of

Howdy! Okay -- I'm not even sure what the MAC file is supposed to be, but

On a couple of occasions, I've had CUPS give me -weird- output on the

doing something "bad" with the PS, and CUPS isn't handling it very well.

Speaking as an X-Cisco-ite, when we wanted to be -sure- that a given piece
of equipment (Sun, PC, whatever) would be able to get on the network
properly, we pegged duplex/speed at _both_ ends. Otherwise, while it
