  1. Re:Help downloading!!! on Which BSD? · · Score: 1

    http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html

    That is one nice thing about FreeBSD, it will install from floppy, or over a serial line. Very flexible install options.

  2. What you will never see on On Hollywood and the Portrayal of Computers · · Score: 1

    You can tell a real computer person by the number of screws holding their computer together. The
    fewer, the better! The case is never on, the drives are hardly bolted in, because they change
    so often, etc.

    This doesn't work well from a product placement standpoint, being hard to identify a computer by its guts.

  3. Tandem on Alpha on Alpha Can Live Without Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Compaq can also move their Tandem non-stop line onto the Alpha chip.
