I actually remember seeing those trays somewhere, but the prie was a bit exaggerated. Nevertheless, I may consider using them. For now, swapoff.vi/etc/fstab.fdisk.swapon is the cheaper solution:o) Did I say I am also short of money?

As you said, any Linux box is actually an X server. I can easily display an application running on a certain host, on the display of a linux host. (setting display and xhost) BUT what I miss very much is a chooser that would list all XDMCP broadcasting hosts. Then I take on host from the list, get a graphical (XDM) login screen, and after logging in I get the whole desktop. I know how to do this with Exceed or ReflectionX, but how do I setup Linux to act like this? And how do I setup Linux to broadcast XDMCP packets to other X servers?
I asked quite many "UNIX guru"s and none gave me a satisfactory answer, maybe Slashdotters would know. Many thanks in advance.
..as a matter of fact, I once had RedHat, Openlinux, Debian, slackware and Suse multibooting.. plus the DOS. And I had only one drive. As you can imagine, I had to use the extended partition quite a bit. But I still need to put other (non-linux) OSs in primary partitions. (I feel the next incoming question "but why do you want to boot in so many different OSs?":o)
I personally dislike RHs installer, because it doesn't let me install without a swap partition. What a BS!! I don't know of any other distro that would constrain me in this way. So, I would really need to do some hacking there, but since I don't plan to install RH anymore for the time being, I don't bother myself doing so.
Tell them you can do that, and you would contribute this to the Linux kernel for free, but you would need an Athlon-based PC. I bet they would be very happy to provide you with what you asked, it would be the best spent pocket money ever.
..I still like the idea of having the fastest x86 uniprocessor machine of the moment. And I do not plan to jump in immediately, I will wait for a faster Athlon, maybe a copper version (I think AMD is going to get the technology for copper from Motorola.. ) and at higher frequencies the gap between Intel PIII and K7 will be more notieable. However, your reasoning is OK, and I was doing this way for many years.
Usually people will pay much more money for even a small increase in performance. That's why I am going to buy the Athlon 650. And that is why clustering is so hot.

you guys gave me exactly the info I need!

For now, swapoff.vi

even though you are trying so hard to piss me off. I will mention just one of the reasons: I am short of primary partitions on a drive.
