what size/speed combo to use for a dual SCSI system?

by Brian McLinden

Hello -- I'm new here, and hoping to meet many of you soon! I want to multi-boot and play with three distros for a machine that would most likely always be a workstation, not a server. It would be for numerical work and not involve large or many audio or video files. It happens that the smaller the SCSI drive, the better the performance, and of course the smallest, fastest sizes available for SCSI are 18G and 32G. I'm planning to buy a matched pair of drives in order to spread the partitions for each distro across the two drives. Two questions: 1. I'd like to use use 2x18, but in your opinion, do I need 2x32? 2. Do you think 15000 rpm will be noticeably snappier than 10000 rpm? Thanks all, Brian 752-3033 anytime __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo! DSL - Now only $29.95 per month! http://sbc.yahoo.com

I don't think it'll tell you if one of the voltage lines goes low under load or something. If it doesn't pass those tests, though, you'll know it's bad. Also, open the PS case and look for leaking capacitors. If you find any leakage, then you know you have a problem. I would just throw out the PS at that point, but you could probably replace the capacitors. -- Rich P.S.: I mean to post an update to my screen-blanking-while-watching-movies problem. I'll catch up with that later.

Re: [Wlug] Anyone interested in trading PIII CPU's?

by John Stoffel

Tim> That seems kind of odd. I would think you'd be able to run the Tim> 850 underclocked to 600 without any problems. The PIII chips are fixed clocks, you can't change the multiplier on them (like you could on the celerons). At least that's what I remember. As for a trade, I've got a suspect motherboard with a pair of PIII 450s (or so, I can't remember right now) that I'd be willing to sell/trade. I think the only thing I sorta maybe looking for is a really good sound card to use with Linux. My DELL Precision 610MT (dual PIII Xeon 550) has a crappy builtin sound card (which I can't get to work with ALSA) and I'm not happy with the Avance ALS4000 card I have either. I'll try to make the next thursday night meeting and bring stuff for trade/sell. John

I don't have a good space for hosting, but can we use one of the many fine parks in Worcester? Thats the way we rolled in Joisey. As for my USB Keyboard, the BIOS had a switch to turn on USB Keyboards and the Mouse (though I never needed the mouse for grub). Thanks for the help! Ted

Re: [Wlug] Using Facebook as a Website

As I said at the Wed. meeting, Facebook must die. I don't think Facebook would exclude me, because I have already excluded it. I do think the fact that nobody, except Chuck, remembered the FB page that is already there, tells you all you need to know about how useful it is. I am happy with the mailing list; I have never used the web page, though I did look at it a couple of times just to see that it was there, but if somebody else wants to maintain other web pages, I have no objection. The web is made of pages I never look at. It's not a problem. -- Keith

Re: [Wlug] Don't forget! I didn't forget!!

Chuck Anderson <cra(a)WPI.EDU> writes: > We have a lot to cover, so we'll be starting right at 7! I really wanted to be there. Last Saturday (5 days ago) I fell and twisted my ankle. It's been sore, but I limped to the coffee shop yesterday, I figured I could limp to the WLUG meeting. But first I had a 4pm routine doctor appointment, I showed him my foot, he said you should get an X-ray. No problem, just to be sure, they can do it in an hour. The X-ray techniciane said: "I'm not a doctor, so I can't tell you anything official, but you should go to the emergency room. I'll send the X-rays there." So the bottom line is I got home about 9:30 with a cast on my broken foot. I think I'll stay here. See you next time. -- Keith

Re: [Wlug] comparison of virtualization technologies

by Adam Keck

Hello All, I recently tried both the free VMWare GSX server and the quasi-free virtualbox with gui. I ended with GSX for two reasons. o Virtualbox kernel panics under the Debian FAI install kernel after about 10 minutes of package installs. Not sure why it dies, but since I want to use VMs to test new installations to keep machines from breeding in my office, this was a show-stopper for me. o Setting up bridged networking and the tap interfaces to share the host connection happens outside the virtual application. Setting them up I found to be a pain, even though I eventually got it working. The GSX install seems to do this for you which saved a lot of time. -Adam Mike Leo wrote: > > I wasn't at the meeting, but anytime virtualization I have to mention > > virtualbox.com....works better than VMWare Workstation plus its free! > > Correction: > http://www.virtualbox.org/ > > >
