Does anyone have a favorite printer for use at home? I have a
Panasonic 5400 that is very small and has Postscript II. However, its
old (~ 8 years) and it now jams often. It's very slow (4 ppm) but in
the 8 years I've only printed 2000 pages so speed is not too
important. What I like:

I just got an Inspiron 8100 with UXGA screen (really nice). I'd like to
make a dual-boot machine with Windows and 7.2 with a suspend-to-disk (s2d)
partition.
The machine comes with XP ;-( on NTFS consuming 3.6Gb. I'm ready to trash
all that and re-install but have a few questions with whic
I'm currently running RH6.2 and ipchains to provide IP masquerading

I currently use Cox@home and 6.2 ipchains for IP masquerading. There
are several Windows and Linux boxes behind the firewall. It's been
nice so far since I've had a quasi-static address and haven't had to
fool with DHCP.
But I just got the Cox upgrade lunchbox in the mail yesterday for

A while ago, I complained to this list that I was unable to upgrade
one of my machines from 6.0 to 6.1 because I'd get the "no partitions"
message immediately after I selected the "upgrade" option. I got this
complaint even though I had no problem booting the existing 6.0
installation.

Celerons may be old and Athlons new, but my point was that the
Celeron floating-point arithmetic performance compares quite favorably
to the K7/500.
Faster by a factor of 4, in fact. Plus it's cheaper. Plus I got dual
CPUs and can run SMP. Plus I can overclock via BIOS, not having to
tweak su
The recent discussion of the K7 Athlon envy piqued my interest because
I recently faced the decision of how to upgrade from my K6/200. I had
two candidates:
prices for mb, CPU(s) and fan(s):
K7/500 plus Asus K7M, about $375
dual Celerons on Abit BP6, about $250
I was attracted to the Athlon
Does anyone have a K7 RH6.0 system out there who would be willing to
run a simple benchmark? It's just a simple matrix-multiply type code
(source code below).
If you could compile the code and run it and let me know the time, I'd
