So, I managed to luck in to an X2 5000+ "Black" and 2G RAM for $75. I picked up a mobo and 8800GT to use for now; I'll find another 8800GT down the road. The motherboard is an Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe. The problem is I can't find any software that will get temp readings from the board. The BIOS...

My FreeBSD workstation had an AM2 3000+ that ran nice and cool. I picked up one of the Newegg X2 3600+ retail CPUs for $69. The thing seems to idle around 48 C and it crashes under load...Probably cause the BIOS on the motherboard (MSI K9MM-V) only lets me set the CPU stop temp to 60 C. Either...

I administer a pile of Macs and an OS X Server machine. It's a dual 1.33GHz XServe running Server 10.4.9. We use the XServe for OD, AFP, mail, our database (MySQL), web, etc., most of these services using SSL encryption. In short, we put all our eggs in one basket...Not my planning, but...

As of 01 Feb 2007, FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE and 4-STABLE (the last in the 4.x line) are no longer supported by the FreeBSD Security Team. No more ports builds for 4.x (they are doing one last batch of packages, though), ports don't have to build on 4.x any more, etc. The ports framework is getting a...

My FreeBSD workstation was (and is again, now :( ) an XP1800+ on a Foxconn KT600 mobo with 768M RAM. I purchased an MSI K9MM-V K8T800 board (for the VIA chipset and AGP slot to get good support under FreeBSD and an easy upgrade path for video from cast-off AGP cards) from Newegg in early...

I spiked the load on my FreeBSD workstation up to 380 last night and kept it there for more than ten minutes. I mined my apache logs for all unique IPs, then ran a one-liner that looped through the file and ran a dig in the background that appended its results to a file. bash at one point was...

I'm looking for a dual-core AMD S939 CPU for a "budget" machine I'm putting together. I'll take the lowest of the low-end as long as it's dual-core. Without a heatsink/fan is fine. Sooner is better, cause this is supposed to be a Christmas present. My heatware is HEMI_426, but I haven't...

So, since Apple's 2006-001 update causes McAfee's Virex to break on our OS X Server machine (which 2006-002, even v1.1 don't fix) and I'm required by powers greater than me to use a virus scanner on the machine, I started looking in to ClamAV to use for the scanner used in some (daily and...

We have Macs here at work. All but one of our machines are Macs. One of them, our web server (among other things), is an OS X Server box. Today, I read what was contained in the new security update and chuckled with glee about the trouble I knew would happen. I installed it anyway and had my...

So, I have a FreeBSD box that hosts my domain. There's about forty people that use the machine for various things. One of the services provided is mail, and for the users that travel a lot there's webmail via squirrelmail if they don't have any other means of access. Why does webmail suck so...

This isn't usually the kind of thing you'd post at a computer-themed board, but I figured asking people here to keep their eyes peeled for the car(s) I'm looking for certainly couldn't hurt. So, I'm looking for a new toy. Unfortunately, the particular year/bodystyle of Mustang I'm looking for...

Work decided to clean out a huge pile of no-longer-used hardware, most of which was comprised of earlier iMacs, four B&W towers, a bunch of beige G3 Power Macs and a few other sub-G3 PowerPC Macs. Since I'm a sysadmin, I got to go through the lot first and nabbed the only G4: an early sawtooth...

I've been playing with CUPS a bit at work and we're eventually going to migrate to it, but we want to do things a bit differently than most CUPS setup. Our goal is to have one CUPS server that just passes printer configs to the other CUPS machines. We want the client machines to print...

I hate to do this, but I just don't have any use for this machine...So up for sale it goes! This machine is a tank. It's served me (and others that use FreeBSD/alpha) quite well over the years, but I just don't need it any more. The machine itself is: PC164LX motherboard 533MHz 21164A...

tag exists in FreeBSD's CVS tree. That is all.

So, I have this project. I've been working on it for a bit. It's coming along nicely, but I can't keep garbage out of the paint cause the two places I can paint are my garage or outdoors. I know how to paint. I used to have a decent siphon-feed spray gun, other gear, a shop that I could paint...

Yeah, yeah, I know, I know...HEMI asking a FC2 question. Laugh it up. :) I have to support it for work... Anyway, the problem...Upgraded a user from a perfectly-working RH73 install. The hardware is an Athlon 1GHz on a KT7(A) board with 1G RAM. They have a Belkin OmniView four-port KVM switch...

My page vs. their page. Now, I know I don't have a copyright notice on the bottom of all my pages (any of them, currently), but this just doesn't sit well with me. I'd hate to have to tack on a copyright notice... I have no problems with people using my content...Several of my pages have been...

I've got my eye on a few units through retail channels, but I want to see if anyone here has what I am looking for laying around for sale. :) I need a 2U rack case. It has to work with a standard (12"x10"?) ATX motherboard. I'd prefer a case that can take a regular PS/2 power supply or...

I'm looking for a 2U case that'll support three PCI cards. I know they exist, I just can't find them. :) Has to support ATX motherboards/power requirements and have room for at least one internal 3.5" drive/one external 5.25" drive. Anyone know of a case that fits these needs? Used is fine, as...

Dell is running a smoking deal on their 2616. I have some GigE machines that are going in to my home rack, so this 2616 deal interests me. Do Dell switches perform pretty well? Right now it's pretty much a toss-up between this Dell and the Netgear FS526T, even though they are somewhat...

Sorry to disappoint, but this thread is not about boobs. :) I have several rackmount cases at home. I also have several machines that run without needing console input/output. I'm sick and tired of tripping over machines, not knowing if a machine is running, not being able to find machines...

The heatsinks/fans arrived today. Installation was a breeze, but the screws PCP&C sent weren't long enough to reach through the mounting bosses in the heatsink to the CPU so I had to use the screws I used in the original passive heatsinks. Other than that small oversight (and not being able to...

Yeah, yeah, I know, I know...I'm going to ask a Windows question. :) It's out-of-character for me to ramble about anything but FreeBSD, but oh well. :) IE's status bar keeps disappearing. Whenever I hit control-N to spawn a new IE window, there's no status bar. I happen to like the status bar...
