In the future, you might want to consider using parted instead of fdisk.
Parted will create the file system at the same time that it creates the
partition. Although, it is a bit more risky to use. I've blown away

I just did this a week or so ago. The way I did it was this:
1) Put the new hard drive in as a slave.
2) Used parted to create the filesystem. (parted also has the ability to
copy a filesystem but I couldn't get this to work)
3) Copy the file system with the cp command. I can't remember if

Please forgive my ignorance, if I use Ghost it will

Again thanks!

I am assumong that you use something on the order of

If so - change to dumpcommandline /var/log/backup

Check out this article on Slashdot. It's important to note SCO's
(formerly known as Caldera) role in Linux obtaining SMP code. They had a
programmer who was working on SMP for Linux. It's easy to see how code
would have been copied from UNIX to Linux that way. If that is even what
happened.
I'm running a nightly backup using dump. I'm outputting the information
to a log file /var/log/backup. I would like to add to the file each time
I run a backup. How do I do that? Do I use cat?

it was something wrong with my old server so I didn't bother much with it.

It's been a while since I've played with X but here is what I can remember:
Check the screen section and make sure the display mode is 800x600.
Also make sure the depth is something your card can handle (try 8 first).
Also, there might be a XF86Config-4 file that you also may need to edit

If that doesn't work, make sure your Windows machine has the same
workgroup name defined. Also, you might have to enable WINS support on
both the client and the server. Sometimes other protocols like IPX
interfere. Make sure you have unused protocols removed.

Myth #1 - Stability. Linux is a more stable OS then windows (2000/XP).
This
true enough, UNLESS you're talking about desktop Linux ie: KDE or Gnome.
To believe that any out of the box install of any current major distro
setup as a desktop (KDE or Gnome) is more stable
monitors too well. My Linux does so beautifully though. :)

There are quite a few, very easy to install firewalls on freshmeat.net. I
personally like firewall by Jim. It has a nice install script and
wouldn't be any more difficult to install than any other program. That
is, as long as your kernel is properly configured and you have Iptables
installed.
If you are looking for proprietary software, BRU is pretty nice. I've
also used LoneTar which was okay. I don't remember if LoneTar had a X
frontend. I know it uses Curses.
