I havent had the need to apply any spin down times to my primary drive (Quantum Fireball) as it is very silent even during heavy data transfers. Here is a snippet from my personal HowTo on keeping harddisks quiet.
Windows solution: Use Multiple Power Profiles
- Control Panel > Display > Screensaver > Power. Turn off hard disks after x mins. [I have x set to 21 mins]
- Save As "SLEEP Mode".
- Set x to "Never", Save As "AWAKE Mode".
- Under Advanced, check "Always show icon on taskbar".
Icon appears in System Tray. When awake, use AWAKE Mode power profile and before sleeping, set to SLEEP Mode power profile.
Linux solution: Use hdparm
>/path/to/hdparm -y/dev/hdb
From the hdparm man page: -y
Force an IDE drive to immediately enter the low power consumption standby mode, usually causing it to spin down.
Write a little script to include the command for all secondary harddrives.
Sometimes the secondary drives are woken up for housekeeping jobs and refuse to spin down again... so it might be necessary to include some spindown times in script.
>/path/to/hdparm -S255/dev/hdb
From the hdparm man page: -Svalue
Set the standby (spindown) timeout for the drive. This value is used by the drive to determine how long to wait (with no disk activity) before turning off the spindle motor to save power. Under such circumstances, the drive may take as long as 30 seconds to respond to a subsequent disk access, though most drives are much quicker. The encoding of the timeout value is somewhat peculiar.
- Value 0 (zero) means no spindown will occour.
- Values from 1 to 240 specify multiples of 5 seconds, for timeouts from 5 seconds to 20 minutes.
- Values from 241 to 251 specify from 1 to 11 units of 30 minutes, for timeouts from 30 minutes to 5.5 hours.
- Value of 252 signifies a timeout of 21 minutes.
- Value of 253 sets a vendor-defined timeout.
- Value of 255 is interpreted as 21 minutes plus 15 seconds.
NOTE: Spinning down drives may cause it not to spin again, so backup data often.
NOTE: Defragment windows partition often. Boosts speed and keeps drive relatively quiet.
In Bombay city, India, the high cost of Internet access used to mean rations on daily Internet usage. Monthly charges used to be something like Rs 2500 -- ISP charges + phone usage
Last year, my father signed up for a broadband service. It is faster than 56K (speed varies coz it is a shared line) and costs around Rs 1000 a month. The savings are in avoiding those per call phone charges.

Strictly speaking, this has little to do with Fedora per se. It has been a property of the REDHATisation of software. All the default software under RedHat 9.0 is labelled as the task it performs -- "Movie Player", "Instant Messenger", "Web Browser" etc. Fedora picks up where RedHat left off.
Take a look at the bigger picture. Gaim is an instant messenger. It wasnt always the default instant messenger on RedHat (now called Fedora), and perhaps may not be the default instant messenger on this distro forever. The task of instant messaging however, persists.
This is essentially an issue of nomenclature -- specifically the choice of naming against the task vs naming against the product. i believe that the former is more logical but i am also partial to naming schemes in the [product_name]--[task_name] format. Examples from my Windows parition (coz thats what im currently running) "Kerio Personal Firewall", "LANguard Network Security Scanner" etc.
Special cases, such as typical MS naming schemes, which use the task name as the product name, tend to cause confusion in their own way. But thats a discussion for another day.
Disclaimer: i run Debian and RedHat 9.0 (waiting for FC2) and i find that the RedHat shortcut naming conventions are better than Debian's defaults (which essentially has no customisation).

i tried their header check for www.apache.org [link is here]
Port80 returned this result:
"We detect that www.apache.org is running Apache/2.0.48-dev (Unix)."
But further down the page is this gem:
"No matter what the above results show, this company may be running Microsoft IIS and protecting its Web server identity with ServerMask."
Bill Gates just made the Adam Osborne mistake. He announced "WinFX", whatever that is, as the improvement to.NET. Now a significant number of people will wait for WinFX, and Microsoft will lose the profits it would have had from those who wait.
What utter crap. Mozilla has been my default browser for a couple of years now. i use it on both my dual boot Windows 2000 and RedHat 9.0 (Xinerama enabled) with no issues whatsoever, including sharing the email folders, bookmarks, cookies, blocked cookies/images and more.
I also use MozillaFirebird (when i am in the mood) on the same machine with no lockups. See for yourself
On the other hand Opera 7.11 - 7.20 used to crash on my Xinerama setup. See these threads on the My.Opera forums.

OK so its a popunder. Semantics.

Mandrake has always leaned towards KDE -- so i guess Gnome is probably not the reason the original poster is getting Mandrake.
Open -- port is accepting connections

Closed -- port is not accepting connections
Stealth -- port does not exist at this IP address
You really need to be in stealth mode

Once an Indian company decides to hire you, they only have to sponsor you (a la H1B) and you can work in India, legally.
The rest is FUD.

WTF?!
apologies, i meant Linux.
i remember connecting two drives to one channel used to be called Daisy Chaining.
Boobalicious_Daisy / Pre-pubescent_Daisy?
Get over it. Primary/Secondary is a perfectly valid way to refer to drive relationships and it doesn't offend people.
Umm... perhaps you missed something here. Primary/Secondary is already in use... it describes the IDE Channel.
Each IDE channel can support two drives in Master/Slave configuration. This allows for 4 IDE/ATAPI devices devices to be connected to two channels.
Ignore the primary/secondary and master/slave.
Use the unix naming convention.
hda -> primary master
hdb -> primary slave
hdc -> secondary master
hdd -> secondary slave
does that work?
Server is working just fine.
I agree with you too on each count. However, you dont need to do without REAL content.
Check out Real Alternative , which plays all Real media files, without the crud. While you are on that website, also check out QuickTime Alternative

Thats straight out of Konqueror file manager and Nautilus. i wonder where the OSS projects got the idea from.
Just tossing in a few more brandnames that were not mentioned.

i totally agree.
Number of clients (more == better)
Raw Data:
Win 2003 Server: ### (3)
Samba Server 3 : ############ (12)
Normalised:
Win 2003 Server: # (1)
Samba Server 3 : #### (4)
As visible Samba is able to handle 4 times the number of clients before performance takes a hit.
