Server UPS
by Brock Wolfe 28 Mar '02

28 Mar '02

Sigh, another power bump. It's time to look for another UPS. I've used APC UPS's. They are OK, but had one fail completely. Looking for another UPS around 1400VA (like a APC Back-UPS Pro 1400VA). Any thoughts recommendations, testimonials on APC or other UPS's. Of course having Linux drivers/apps is required. 8-^) Brock

FTP behind router question
by Raymond J. Henry 26 Mar '02

26 Mar '02

I'm running Mandrake 8.1 with ProFTP, and I'm connected to DSL via an OvisLink SR-801E router. Router is set to point port 21 to the right internal IP, but when you try to log in from outside the local network, you get "500 P@SW NOT UNDERSTOOD ERROR OPENING DATA SOCKET". I'm guessing that his is due to the IP the user is logging into, and the actual internal IP of the FTP server box. Can anyone point me towards the resolution? Thanks.......

ide controller card
by Ian Timshel 25 Mar '02

25 Mar '02

Hi all. I have run out of ide sockets on my main board. I'm looking for recommendations... please, for an ide controller card for an elder P2 266 running Red Hat 7.2 I'm also wondering if it's time to upgrade the power supply from 250W to 300 or better. I have a CDRW to put in. I have no experience with burners but I understand they are heavy consumers of power. Any suggestions would be welcome. Thanks in advance. Ian.

DDR motherboards
by author 22 Mar '02

22 Mar '02

Can anyone give me advice on a good DDR motherboard ? I'm looking at the Computer Avenue price list. Soyo SYK7V $225 ABiT KG7 $204 Epox 8KHA $140 IWiLL KA 266Plus ? They list KK 266PLus but its only PC-133, but they also sell the DDR iWiLL KA 266Plus as part of a Duron system. Anyway, I'm interested in any good DDR motherboard from any vendor. Are there any that are exceptionally good? I'm especially interested in avoiding anything that is exceptionally bad. This is for a home system, not a server. Duron 1200 socket A I expect to put 256 Megs DDR on it and run a dual boot Win98 / Red Hat system. Why is it walking into a computer store feels like walking onto a used car lot? Any advice would be most welcome.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 There was an admin;s CD and I was wondering that when there is an ISO of it on the server could someone post it's location? As well, does anyone have the URL off of that paper that got passed around, for the security seminar? I had it written down, but I can't find the paper. Thanks.
