could someone please tell me for sure? i'm at 470 right now... :-) it's a server located at isp, remotely administrated via ssh, slink -> potato without a hitch, but still kernel 2.0.38 . it must be a very tough machine, a kind of a rack-mounted pc (well, i saw it just once...). other local machines had cooling fan and power supply failures. never saw a failed hard disk. pietro.
