Both my fileservers running debian etch installed from custom install media (pre-etchnhalf) running 2.6.21-2 and 2.6.21-6 crashed, but came up fine after a hard reset when I got home from the party, 300km away... was abit nervous until I noticed others had problems too.
Not all ADSL providers use ATM, but most do. My ISP does not.
I have a 2300/256 connection (gross numbers), or 2100/210kbit after overhead. Using wondershaper, setting the bandwith limits to 1900/150kbit, I can get by with 40msec (from 13msec) latency to first hop when I use bittorrent with 100kbit up and 500-1100kbit down.
I have to shape p2p down to ~40-50kbit in order to get usable ping for two players in battlefield 2.
Using both bittorrent and FTP to create a bandwith usage of around 1900kbit down and 150kbit up, latency to first hop will rise to around 200msec. I have not been able to improve those numbers without limiting the bandwith more than what is practical.
So the conclusion stands; you cannot both use all your bandwith and then expect games to work flawlessly when doing so, atleast not with ADSL.

And, ATI has released linux drivers for a while, not just "a few" months, however there was (iirc) no official driver support for non-FireGL cards for a while, even though the drivers for the normal Radeon cards was included in the binary FireGL driver package.
Yea, like http://www.unixcore.com/secnet ( based in norway ) or http://www.ipng.nl ( based in the netherlands ) or http://www.tunnelbroker.net ( based in the US ) Plus, ipv6 works just fine in Win2k, XP & 2k3... It's a minor hassle to set up actually;-)
not exactly, a mate of mine has been running a little streaming of his own using icecast2 and ogg vorbis via ipv6 for a while..

Actually, some use Telenor Online 150 ( 150 hours online for 500 NOK or USD $70 per month ) + the monthly fee for a Telenor Basis internet subscription, which is 100 NOK or USD $14 ( A grand total of 600 NOK or USD $85 )
Not exactly cheap, but its cheaper than normal dialup for most ( as Norway doesnt have flatrate dialup internet, and one hour online with normal dialup is roughly 8 NOK or USD $1 )
In comparison, the cheapest ADSL ISP is Tele2, with 704/128kbit and 3 ips for 339 NOK or USD $48..
One can only wonder why we dont have flatrate dialup tho.. damned Telenor:(

Yea, we've seen some _Very_ good examples of that in the past...

21" Nokia 445Xi here.. manufactured in 1997 or something.. paid $400 for it in 2001-2002.. Still going strong, 1600x1200x32 @ 80hz :)

Yes, all we need is a bluescreen when the landing craft is 30km above mars and on the way down ;)
it looks good on a 21" CRT too :-)

They are probably using the military band of the GPS sattelites, which are considerably more precise than ordinary 'civil' GPS.
that about sums it up.. totally mindbogglingy _stupid_ by SCO .. I wonder when they will just lie down and die ;-)
yea, they must have cut into the hardline at some point :/
