It takes time(cpu time, actual time, etc) to decompress the binary. A compressed binary will be smaller. This is how size and speed can relate in this senario.
The latest release of MythTV is broken up into a server/client model if you like. A mini-itx system would be perfect as a front-end for this and put your noisy powerful system out of earshot.
You are just being silly now. You are going to need slots to plug these controllers into. It's hard to find boards with more then 5 or 6 PCI slots. You have to start using PCI to PCI bridges on a board once you get over 3 or 4 slots and performance would suffer. There are some nice server boards out there that might come closer to this.
Maybe you need better controllers like the 3ware serial ata raid cards They can go up to 12 port on a single controller.
True, if it is 32bit, 33Mhz bus. A lot of systems have 64bit and/or 66Mhz+ busses. It could be on the PCI buss if it is > 32bit/33Mhz but your point of having enough bandwidth is still valid.
If you have some free (unpartitioned) space or another drive then you can just install to that. There is no way to resize the partitions right now so you would have to start over if you had no free space to work with.
Setup yaboot during the install. It is basically lilo for PPC. This assumes New World machine. You could use BootX for dualbooting on Old World. You would need a OS9 or older install to put BootX on.
Please make sure we can run the BSD's too (NetBSD and OpenBSD). I would love to see MOL4OSX. I'd also love to see MOL working under NetBSD and OpenBSD too. I know there's been work on it in the NetBSD field.
I personally use something besides OS X on my rev d imac because OS X is a bit of a dog on this older machine. I use OS X on it ocassionally but spend most time in Linux or OpenBSD because they are much more repsonsive to the point of making me want to use this machine.
I just installed 4.7 using a couple floppies and NFS.
I often download the 2.88mb image and burn it to a CD. You don't have to burn the "whole" OS to make a bootable CD. I use both methods depending on the machine and what is handy.
Unlike an IP, the MAC bits stay the same from provider to provider and from location to location (admittedly, mostly an issue to laptop owners). This is particularly nasty for laptops that travel from home to secure business locations -- and yes, this is not abnormal in the business world.
True but the prefix changes so there shouldn't be an issue there. That's what subnets are all about.
puts out a FULL (not the limited version in 9.0) terminal/ncurses/newt based port of drakconf
You could fire up the http draktools on loopback and use lynx/links for terminal configuring. You can get more for free from Mandrake than Suse so the money thing could be subjective too.
FreeBSD has a more mature setup and is the pattern Gentoo looked at when they began. Gentoo isn't there yet but is heading that direction with some steam. It has some rough edges yet but is to be expected at this early stage.
Portage does have some versioning issues that can burn you but that can be worked around with a little care. The same can be said for Mandrake and urpmi. Mandrake shot themselves in the foot many times with bleeding edge stuff like non-standard compilers and other such nonsense over the years. I think they have finally figured out how to be leading without the bleeding too much. Urpmi is a great tool once it is configured. The problem is that most people don't configure it properly.
Debian is definitely more matured than either. I still think FreeBSD beats all of them for keeping a system up to date.
I've been able to do network installs of mandrake since version 6.0. I setup a local mirror and do all my installs this way. Much faster and easier and urpmi knows were to pull release packages from automatically if you do it this way.
with a decoder board or video card with decoding on-board?
I've seen plenty of 200MMX play dvd fine with a hardware DVD decoder. I didn't get smooth software DVD playing until I got my 500Mhz Athlon and even then there was an ocassional slow down (very minor).
Check out Phoenix on Linux, Solaris and Win32 but not OS X. They are leaving Chimera to OS X. I don't know of one for OS X but Phoenix is very nice on the other platforms. I have 4 pages open when I fire it up.
I don't think that is a bad premise to go off from but I don't think you can automatically assume that "bad guys" know. There have been vulerabilities found recently that were there for years without anyone making it known. So either these issues can stay hidden sometime or someone is keeping real quiet for too long.
This can be a complex situation and there are no easy answers. I still think that generally 90 days should be the max to sit on any of these. Of course there will be cases that warrant more but they should be few.
I agree with your setup except I change a couple things from this list.
Remove the CD install media 1st thing. Copy the CDs to my fileserver and share it via NFS(alternately http or ftp). All future installs are done with a floppy and net installs. You won't have to remove CD sources in the future since it automatically sets up the install media (network in this case) for the default. Hard drive space is fairly cheap and it's worth it if you have multiple machines. It's faster than CD installs even with 10base and saves bandwidth over ftp.
I add contribs and other mirrors too. I also add a cooker mirror in there so I can update packages. Make sure and cron urpmi.update since the packages do change fairly often. I upgraded to KDE 3.1.1 as slick as can be just using uprmi. I removed the KDE 3.0 packages and then urpmi --update kde.
Urpmi, apt, ports are all great ways to keep your system up to date. I don't understand the distros/OSes that don't have some kind of package management like these.
There's an updater you can run or download the latest patches for linux and install manually no problem. The versions are the same as the windows patches. I run it on my FreeBSD 4.7-STABLE box and it works great. I can even run the updater to keep it current. Some people have had problems running the updater on FreeBSD but they can still download the patches and manually run them.
Were you trolling or talking about something else?
Yes 5.0 was released a month ago. 4.8 will have things back-ported to it and bug fixes. Many people consider a.0 release too much risk for production environments. FreeBSD releases are very well supported for a good period of time.
Look at the releases page. You will notice that 3.5 was released 3 months after 4.0.
We have replaced 25 Gateway E-3400 733Mhz motherboards. This is about half of the number that we have of this particular motherboard and model. Several capacitors are bulged and black stuff is leaking out the top of all these. We have several other models and speeds of the same model but it only is affecting these 733's of a certain age.

You can still run it on one machine but either use a fairly powerful machine to experiment with or drastically reduce the settings.
I used a K6-2 450 to test and play with and am putting together my final box now.

12% more than the PCI bus

Yahoo is easy to declutter. Just log into the management console of their SAN(s) and delete.

to be fair, 3.3 isn't out yet so the new features are still in current. Give it a little time and we will be rocking.
A new perspective by having it running on other OSes should improve pf and make it better than it already is.
