cdwrite and cd writers

Hi all, not really a debian question, so please excuse me if someone's bothered. Is there any other SCSI cd writer supported by cdwrite (I have 2.0, any new release?) except hp, yamaha, philips and kodak? I have a teac r55s and it seems it's not supported. Is it really unsupported? Since it's so di

switching from ide to scsi

Hi all, I decided to go the right way with one of my server and use scsi disk instead of ide. That machine has already got a scsi controller (aha2940) that drives a dat tape, so I only need to buy a scsi disk. That machine is using debian 1.1 on ide and will probably use 1.2 on scsi. What would be

Hi, and many thanks to all the kind people who answered my question(*). I found xinetd.conf man page, so I checked out xinetd man page to see if a bug was lying there (referring to xinetd (5) instead of xinetd.conf (5)), but it was all ok. So I was wrong. But I remember not seeing a pointer to xine

Hi, I'm using an 'old' release of debian (1.1.13), and I'm happy with it. I found out the other day that awk is not working the way its man page says. If I use awk --re-interval, it should accept reg-expr like [0-9]{5} to mean "five numbers in row" (a reg-expr definition of ZIP code?), but it does
