You can get a (used) P133 with plenty of Ram and Big Disks for around 30$, that's saving 300$.
>You've got to set up and administer the box
The last time I administered my Linux-Route/Firewall/etc... hmmm... 2 1/2 years ago ? No, that's not true. I changed my ISP 4 Month ago. And while I was at it I upgraded the Kernel'n'Stuff. Took me 20 Minutes (plus 3 hours unattended.)
btw: The Lucent solution costs me: 250$ * 2 = 500$ The Aviator set costs: 200$ for two cards.
300$... hmmm... only two days salary, but a whole month lunch too.
Does anybody know a european distributor for the Aviator ?
ciao Anti ps: Don't take this personal, I only wanted to say it.
Maybe I'm to stupid, but I tried to help a friend last week to install his first linux box. Since I knew Debian is said to be "hard", I decided to install a Suse with him. Too bad. After 2 days trying, I decided to use a Debian (2.1r4) and we were done 20 Minutes later. He's quite happy now.
And who uses dselect anyway ? Have you ever heard of apt ?
Slashdot Mirror
Yes. :(
....
And the disk itself manages to go at exactly the same speed
The times when the controller was the bottleneck are over.
Get two 15GB UDMA66 HDs for the price of one UWSCSI and RAID them
The performance of the ATA disks is _far_ superior
and you have more space.
Never swap to your "video"-disk

Well,
...
:(
linux (ext2 at least) supports files up to 4GB.
(Look at linux/fs/ext2/file.c (ext2_file_lseek()))
But dd doesn't.
And what do you need such big files for in Video editing ?
I never have clips bigger than 15-20 seconds and the final version never ends as an uncompressed file on my disk

btw:
Is there a BC2K mirror somewhere ?
heroine.linuxave.net is _very_ slow

Does anyone have an address where I can buy them in europe ?
Preferably Germany or UK.
And _online_ !!

Everybody can censor.
The government isn't allowed to censor.
That's all to it.

If I (the retailer) have the signature the CC company pays.
If I don't have it, they pay only 90%.
I (the customer) only pay if they have my (valid) signature.
