Hey, The closer I look at the 8.2 install I did on this new Abit nForce board the more glitches I discover. In the course of tracking down why the kupdated daemon would periodically guzzle CPU time whenever I did a lot of disk I/O I discovered (via hdparm) that my two Maxtor 80 drives (which

I've heard others mention this technique but I'm curious what actually happens since I've never had to do it before but will sometime next week. Does lilo find the Win2K partition and add it to the list or do you have to do that manually the next time you boot into linux? ::mark -Original

So I've trying to bone up on all things security-related and was trying to figure out what relationship, if any, there was between Bastille and msec. Is msec a UI layer over Bastille or is it a separate security tool? Are the two complementary or exclusionary. Should I run both or pick just one?

I've also been looking at a few of the current crop of mobos that feature RAID support. I'm *not* interested in them because they purport to support RAID--I've heard civilme's warnings several times--but rather in the interest of getting an extra IDE channel or two. Is this a reasonable
