A friend is in the hospital with pneumonia - tubes down the throat and all. His biggest complaint is that he can't communicate - he can write on a pad if someone holds it. He is a hardware geek, and very bright (with ankylosing spondylitis and a lot of autoimmune trouble). I would love to find

All, I have a usb 2.0 WD drive I bought to store vm images on. It worked long enough to get the images on, but now doesn't seem to want to mount, on either Linux or Windows. It's formatted NTFS and lights up and spins, just never mounts. This is my dmesg output: [110125.104110] usb 4-1: new fu

ATI Rage 128 GL 16MB AGP 2X Video Card 109-51800-01 VGA Is this video card Linux compatible? It just has a vga out, nothing else. I have a Pentium II 440BX chipset motherboard with I presume an AGP 2x port. All I'm after is 1024x768 at reasonable color depth. http://cgi.ebay.com/ATI-Rage-128-G

I recently replaced my NFS server with a new Intel dual processor machine. The moment I turned it on, I noticed that between it an my workstation there is a constant 25Mb/s of NFS read traffic, regardless of my activity. My wife's workstation doesn't have this issue. The main difference between
