Low Disk Space (deleting /usr/share/locales) and printing

Dear Everyone, I have a limited-disk capacity machine (about 130 Megs) that acts as a firewall and a print server (with lpd and samba). I am now interested in allowing this machine to accept postscript streams, convert it into something acceptable for the HP 5L printer with ghostscript, and the

hey matt, i'm have access to a win2k box and don't have said problem, so it's confusing to say the least :). it might be worthwhile to try and see where things are breaking using some kind of packet sniffer. try running tcpdump (or ethereal, which is a nice gtk frontend) and see if that gives an

SMP Question

I've got an old IBM PC Server 720 with 3 Pentium 166 chips. I've successfully installed Debian 3.0 (woody), and have been very happy with the performance and functionality.   The only challenge is I needed to recompile the 2.18 kernel to use PCI Bios access instead of Direct access.   This ma
