Hi all,
I used to make drawings in openoffice draw, and then choose File >
export. From there I could choose to export them as eps, which is great
for putting in my latex documents.
However, that option isn't there anymore. The last timestamp on the
last eps drawing I exported is May 15 2006.

You can still get laptops with real serial ports (HP sell them). You
might want to investigate whether you can manipulate the USB serial
adapter to your requirements. I tried once with setserial and it didn't

Hey all,
I need a laptop. But the requirements are slightly odd.
This is for a machine to stay in our colo cage for use as a barcode scanner,
serial interface, basic GUI, and ssh server management console, etc.
It needs to have USB for an eToken, PS2 for a barcode scanner, serial to
manage PDUs

The mailman update this week [2.1.9-r3] broke things horrendously.
In short, things moved from /usr/local/mailman to /usr/mailman
and /var/mailman but there wasn't a single release note about it.

Hi, just one more idea that came to my mind,
reiserfs uses a technique to save small files in the filesystem tree
which uses less disk space then. In ext3 a 1 byte file will take up 4k,
while this is not the case in reiserfs.
This yields a performace
