Now if they would just release a version of NAV for Linux. It would help those of us (most I would guess) who have to suffer WinX crap all day with some Linux mixed in.
Regarding X10, my microwave oven interferes with the audio (mostly) on their ScanCAM product. Then again, the same microwave oven interferes with 60-66 MHz between the DSS box and the TV...
I have not taken the time to contact their support line, but I can say this: AimIT - worked for awhile, was unable to relocate the ever-expanding database. ShipIT - worked with only non-MS product, which made it useless for the most part, ime InoculateIT - only one that seemed to work well and still does. Although I think it is corrupting the mailserver even though it is 'Exchange-aware'.
I was tempted to get ArcServeIT because of the Linux support, but I reckon I will skip it and go with something else since the NT machines are the ones that need regular backups. Especially the Exchange server - arggh, don't let me start!
Since the US broadcast standard for DTV is contained within the same 6MHz channel as NTSC, I propose that cable CAN carry DTV. The main problem is co-channel interference, since 8VSB does use a bit more of the channel than NTSC. It may be necessary to skip channels to avoid this entirely. Will the cable companies do it? Not unless they are forced as were/are the TV stations.
As for switching to COFDM, you can rule that out in the top 11 markets, which have already built transmission systems for 8VSB. I suppose the systems could be modified, but in all liklihood, the cost would be close to purchasing all new equipment. Not gonna happen. Maybe the smaller markets can build agile or go COFDM, which would in fact complicate reception quite a bit.
Re:If Microsoft were to shut down NT servers...

UCITA is passed

Another take on that: If Microsoft were to shut down all of my NT servers remotely, it would in fact improve 'quality of service.' I would finally be able to move all systems to a real OS paradigm;) Wow, fancy words. Is anyone readin g this stuff?
Not to mention the bug/hotfix routine and a proprietary database scheme which is tough to transport.
One bug I ran into recently dealt with the Internet Mail Connector. If you set global limits on the size of user mailboxes, IMC will bomb when it hits that limit - Keep in mind it handles internet mail for all users on that server. Yes, there is a fix. I have not tried it yet, as I have to go through the phone call screen at MS first.
I know I should have gone with one of the 'recommended' boards, but I opted for a locally-available Gigabyte GA-6BXD. This cost around $150 iirc, and works great. Like many, I run two Cel 300's o'ced to 450. But I have one slot and one socket cel using an earlier version of the MSI adapter. I had to mod the slot cel and the adapter to overclock and run dual. I also had to up the voltage to 2.2V. This adapter should make the dual celeron a much simpler project;)
I compiled my 2.2.1 kernel on the home system, which is sort of a hybrid, but started with Slack many years ago. It has since undergone upgrades to RH 4.1, 4.2, 5.0, 5.1, and 5.2. I have used this kernel on a fresh 5.2 install and a 4.2 install, both production systems. On all systems, all I really had to upgrade was modutils and net-tools, as per kernel documentation. If you are having trouble compiling and/or using 2.2.1, I would guess you have some hardware issues.

Also of note, this box will not handle IPSEC passthru on the second WAN port. They fail to mention this in the documentation I read.
Not pretty, but ultra-portable and functional.
Did I mention cheap? $50US for an 8' table you
can pickup and carry out when you get evicted.

hrm, that was left field. Or maybe I am a newless cluebee?
Bummer... I was really looking forward to the ;)
previously rumoured Oliver Stone project...
Now that would have been something

Look for a product called mumetal (sp).
It generally comes in sheets which are
almost like thin cardboard.
'sysadmin' is one I like. Maybe too specific,
but gets the point across.

I like this part:
"The Internet was working swell on traditional
Unix, Macintosh and Windows NT before Linux was
much more than a glimmer in Linus' eye,"
OK, maybe Mac's on the client side, but NT was
not even for sale yet, afaik, when Linux began.
Just some Win3.0 and OS/2...
Proof positive as to his cluelessness.

There is no such thing as a big free software distribution. Don't delude yourself.
