I've installed tin and suck as way to read newsgroups locally.
The problem is, i haven't figured out how to use tin to read the
newly downloaded articles. If someone is using the suck+tin
combination for news, could you post here or e-mail me directly
on how to do it..
Thanks.

I haven't used it myself, but I believe it is a cache for
surfing the WWW. You give it a certain amount of disk
space (say 300MB), and you set Netscape to use it as a
proxy server. So whenever you access a web page using
Netscape, it will pass the request to squid, and squid
will either serve up

Now will Linux implement anything greater than RAID0?
Would you say your performance is significantly increased with striping?
How many drives can be striped?

This is an interesting issue. You might use similar justification for
leaving all but the essentials out of the distributed kernel. This would
encourage users to learn how to recompile the kernel, and demonstrate in
doing so that it's surprisingly simple.
On the other hand, new users might think,
