It's best to install Windows first, as it always overwrites the master

Grub is perfectly capable of booting Windows by 'chain loading' to the

It works fine across the local network, and seems reasonably fast and

My first proxy is squid, which then calls privoxy as its peer.

I've implemented the hddtemp service, and see that my HDs, one an IBM
120GB, the other a Hitachi 120GB disk, run a steady 46 and 49 degrees C.

Hi,
The stable branch xorg-x11 seems to have been upgraded to version
xorg-x11-7.0-r1.
