  1. FrazierWall Linux on Captain Crunch's New Boxes, Part II · · Score: 2, Informative

    I like Coyote Linux. I used it for some time. It has one of the easiest installers. It even installs from windows. But if you run it through GRC's Shields Up at: http://grc.com/default.htm you will see closed ports on the default firewall ruleset.

    Might I suggest FrazierWall Linux. It is a fork of Coyote and LRP, but with better default firewall rules, and a built in web server for local firewall status information. And it will even e-mail the firewall logs to you.

    http://www.frazierwall.com/

    Plus it passes both the Shields Up and Sygate Scans : http://scan.sygatetech.com/
    with stealth mode almost everywhere.

    I did have some problems with in initial install. I looked in the config files from Coyote to get things straight with FrazierWall. Other than that, FrazierWall is a well done firewall.

    Today, MPE has web services, ethernet support, and all the other modern trappings...

    What's not to love. The current webserver is Apache.

    The PA-RISC chip design team was sold to Intel last month.

  5. As I remember... on HP To Kill 3000 System After 30 years · · Score: 1

    My memory seems to be a bit weak. But as I remember it...

    In the beginning, there was the HP3000 (classic) line of computers. There was the HP-3000A, followed by the 3000B, then the 3000C which was pulled and reintroduced as the 3000CX, which began to sell.

    They stopped using core memory and began to use RAM with the 3000 Series 2, Series 3, and Series 3LC (LC=Low Cost). The Series 3LC was very popular. All of these systems had a 9 board CPU. Then the design team left HP and started up a company called Tandom (which was many years later got bought by Compaq, who HP is now trying to buy). The top empty slot in the Series 3 processor bay was for the board to interconnect two CPUs. Tandom's first systems were purchased from HP, reconfigured into the multi-CPU state, and resold as Tandoms.

    HP then dropped back to the 3 board CPU (with the diagnostic CPU on the forth board) for the next series of 3000s. They were the Series 30, 33, 40, 44, 48, and 52. Then back to the 9 board CPU for the series 64, 68, and 70.

    Then started the PA-RISC systems.

    This has all been my long winded way of saying, I don't remember any ***HP3000 Series I***. And I am really showing my age.

    Have a Nice One,
    Bruce
