I recently upgraded my boxes at home to the latest ssh from sid. Before the upgrade, I'd have the DISPLAY variable set to $HOSTNAME:10.0 and be able to run X apps across the connection. My box at work does not have this problem. I've diffed the ssh_config and sshd_config files for the two boxes and

I had this problem with my TNT2 at work, I switched to nvidia's proprietary driver and it went away. RMS might be upset, but I have hardware OpenGL acceleration. :) Try that driver if you're adventurous, but don't let the 1.0 version fool you, it's not the most stable. Fortunately, all of my crashe

You don't need an rc.local script. If you look in /etc/rc2.d/ you'll see lots of S scripts. These are the scripts that get run when you start the system. The 'S' is for "Start" (I guess), and there are "K" scripts for "Kill" in other related directories. The number is the order in which it will run

I'm guessing it should be PCI...and I hope so, because I've never seen an ISA card that can do 100Mbps, and don't think the ISA bus could saturate that card. It's not that fast. If you're looking for really cheap, and not worried if your achieved thruput is only 80 or 90Mbps, just go to your local

I run VMWare here at work on Debian. I set up my networking as Bridged. I don't remember exactly, but I think Host Only won't let you out to the network. Try bridged mode and see if you can connect out from your VM. And make sure you have win98's networking installed correctly (but you probably do)

Moving /var

I currently have /var on hdc, but want to move it to sda. I've tried mounting the new partition as var2, copying the files, changing fstab, then rebooting, but lots of programs complain. I'd guess it has something to do with the state of var at the time of the copy, vs at the time of shutdown/boot.

ipmasqadm portfw and apache
