I found an cira 1990 Toshiba laptop a while ago while doing a clearout of a storeroom, its all original complete with case manuals the loot I don't rekon it was ever used. I booted it and it has that old red dos screen if any of you are old enough to remember that.

Thanks maniac thats a good point and I've noted it.

Thanks tom looks just like what I need

Ric I didn't even think about a hardware solution.....doh. I have no money left in my budget and there is noone here in the school now till late august early sept. I am interested depending on price. But for the moment is there a software solution?

I have just installed 4 new ibm 1u rack servers that will be powered from one APC Smart UPS 1500. I can only attatch one server to the UPS by either serial or usb, so how do I get the other servers to shut down in the event of a power failure? just to add a complication 1 is running Red Hat Linux the other 3 are running Server 2003. There is probably a simple answer but for the life of me I can't find a referance to this senario

Yep I get it too, just downloaded the file

mmm a bit comic book, but is that good or bad. I think its just going to take some getting used to

Well you can count me in I've been a Gooner longer than I've been a Geek

Just to let you all know I managed to unlock the phone. Thanks guys

Thanks for the reply The phone had a new sim installed last weekend It was on Vodaphone and we put a PAYG Vodaphone sim in it and now when it is switched on it gives the message "Phone freeze SIM unavailable Please enquire to service provider" I contacted Vodaphone helpline and they said they had never heard of this error and therefore the phone must nolonger work. I will have a look at that site cheers So do I

I was reading SimpleSi's post about unlocking his mobile phone and thought to myself I could be good info to share here maybe as we all being gaget freaks probably change phones quite alot and therefore give our old phones to family members, I know I do and I have a few lock phones that would be good for my kids if I could unlock them. For instance I have just had a problem with my sons Samsung Z140v which has a phone freeze, so we are unable to use it now and all the help I find on the net is a little vague. It could be a members only as I supposae we don't really want to deviate from the subject of the site but we all know each other here and trust more to solutions found here. Only an idea whta do you think??

yep its the quickest its loaded for me in weeks

wow that looks perfect thanks I was just about to say that I had got united hosting down to £168 per year but I think I will be moving my sites

Well that don't look too bad £94 for 5 sites bit of a difference thanks russdev

I host a couple of websites all my own and not very busy about 1000 visits a week at the moment I am using United Hosting and I get unlimited space and bandwidth but I have just had my new bill for the next year and they want £276. I was just wondering if anyone else uses a similar host that is maybe cheaper and also what are they like for availability etc. Thanks

Thanks monkeyx that has worked a charm

I am trying to set up proftp using sql for authentication using a a little web interface called Proftpd Administrator I am doing this on my home server which is a clarkconnect server CentOS (based) clarckconnect does not come with proftpd with the mysql module install so I have tried compiling the package only for it to fail on the make part of the compile some referance to mod_sql_mysql

I have found a really good tutorial on mirroring with Rsync and thought it may be of use to others as it covers shared keys too. Take a look and see what you think Rsync Tutorial

I was looking through this forum looking for something else but noticed your post and remember finding this site the other day. I'm going to try it too as i use MCE at the moment but its killing the machine that runs it so i'm hoping this might be the answer. Its not VMware but its a live cd http://freevolive.tuxfamily.org/

Its all working now thanks for that, now I'm going to try and set it up so that it checks every x hours for differances

Got it cheers I was having a problem with access to hda3 not physically just could not understand how to get there via the path now I have just had a look at the drive config on the debian machine via webmin and I now can see how to get there. Wonderful thing learning you make so many silly mistakes along the way

Geoff you have hit the nail my space is on hda3 NOT hda1, but how do i place my share mirror on hda3, I told you I'm still learning linux :oops: thanks du -h gives a result of Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/hda1 9.2G 9.2G 0 100% / tmpfs 252M 0 252M 0% /lib/init/rw udev 10M 52K 10M 1% /dev tmpfs 252M 0 252M 0% /dev/shm /dev/hda3 141G 188M 134G 1% /srv du -hs /var/shares/' gives a result of 6.3g /var/shares

Yes Im rsyncing to another linux machine one is a clarkconnect (CentOS Linux 4) machine that has all my photos and music and I was trying to mirror the directory on the other linux machine whuch is a debian etch machine. I'm doing this at home first so that I can get my head around it before I attempt this at school

After being introduced to debian a little while ago I am getting more and mor adventurious. At present i am trying to set up directory mirroring using rsync, although i am running into a couple of problems. I am using the command rsync --delete -p -r -t -e ssh /var/shares/ ipaddress:/var/shares/mirror/ this runs fine for a little while but then I get an error but I am trying to copy about 15 gig to a drive with 150 gig free I also get this error rsync: writefd_unbuffered failed to write 4092 bytes [generator]: Broken pipe (32) rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(1122) [generator=2.6.9] could someone point me on the way to working this out please

How about this one http://www.bluepoint.net/LENIMG001 it has got a nice look to it if thats what you are after
