AMD Opteron at Newegg

You don't understand computer architecture. If you're adding two numbers, (5 + 7), you don't use 64 bits. It's still 32 bit integers being added, and a 32 bit result. There's no other way to pipe in additional instructions over the remaining 32 bits (or, in the opteron case, 96 bits). The...

The great AT Linux/BSD/*NIX FAQ project!

Please!!!!!!!!!!!! Stop suggesting xhost. It's insecure (especially in multi-user environments and on untrusted networks). Instead, teach them to tunnel x packets through ssh.

Win2K, or WinXP, Linux Which do you guys think is better

1) Ftp is evil. There are much better ways to transfer files (both anonymously and for specific users). 2) Windows/Mac for desktops, BSD for servers, there really is very little to debate.

Arg. Other shells: csh/tcsh (use setenv VARIABLE value syntax) Other ls switches: ls -o (bsd specific, shows system flags such as append only, immutable, etc) ls -r (reverse) ls -t (sort by time) ls -d (directory, rather than files within directory) Other editors: pico emacs

XP is to buggy and I can't install Win2k Pro. I JUST CAN'T WIN!

in addition to everyone else's comment that you should remove everything non-essential, I'd also recommend making sure memory/processor/cables are well seated in their slots .... I think I had that problem on a win2k install once, one of the sticks of memory wasn't all the way into its slot.

Debian FTP Serving Windows Files

Last I heard, the linux ntfs driver was experimental, and didn't support writing. Has this changed? (I admit, it's been about 3 years since I used the driver - but last I heard, nobody was trying to reverse engineer this for fear of legal action)

serving FTP on linux - which?

I recently had to copy an entire webroot from one machine to another (the source was an old sun box, with 10mbit ethernet and a 70mhz processor, the destination was a new dell with dual p3 gigahertz processors) .... We initially considered using scp, but found that the encryption just took too...

AMD Hammer 64bit processor on existing 32Bit progs?

First, my 2 cents: I'd imagine that any os compiled for the 64 bit chips (itanium or hammer) would feature a 32bit application layer (much as win98, win95, and win3.1 all featured application layers to their predecesors). This slows down things not running in 64 bit mode, but it's still...

serving FTP on linux - which?

the bsd ftpd is not specific to openbsd. It's also in free- and net- bsd. The source should be available from: http://ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/system/daemons/ (there's also some prebuilt binaries, if you prefer that sort of thing.
