Yep. Seriously, the IDE code in the Linux 2.4 kernel needs serious work. I'm lucky to get 5MB/sec over FTP! I've seen my Midnight Commander file copies go from 10MB/Sec to 960KB/sec and BELOW!

You shouldn't be so surprised. Most ppl that post on Slashdot these days deserve my.sig.
The guy that modded his old Commie64 "portable" into a modern Pentium GHz+ (complete with custom wiring, chips and boards) got the same treatment - again, ONLY from slashdot trolls and kiddiez.
I thought his mod was cool and wrote him an encouraging note.
People like thee and me are getting few and far between. NOTE TO SLASHDOT READERS: Please do not flame people unnecessarily or in haste. These folks in Pakistan are writing code that can help other people too. .

I just read "Thief of Time" - awesome book. My local public library has quite a few of his books. All that I have read have been extremely good.

You may have a point there.
I see a solution: Regular customers get a no-backdoor-at-all Tivo.
Pay $20 more and you get the backdoor code AND PASSWORD supplied and Enabled.
For $20, you can be ROOT on your TV box!

Sounds weird to me. The disk itself is more likely to fail than the SCSI controller or the entire server.
I don't see why you couldn't just dup the hardware, disk and all, and just have a hot-spare server ready to go if you need it.

I always DL the stacically-linked versions, never had any problems installing and using those.

I'd say you're right; thought of the same thing a couple of days ago. Mad propz to the Opera peeples!
