Actually, my Linux box is getting cantankerous in it's old
age and in a typical case of "the shoemaker's
children" I haven't gotten around to upgrading the OS
on it. For that reason I have to reboot the damn thing
every day which is done out of cron at noon.
On my shopping list for this old beast is:
- A new hard drive (old one is showing bad sector
errors in /var/log/messages)
- More RAM. I have so much stuff running on there
the poor beast is IO bound swapping stuff in and out as
well as paging according to vmstat
- A new fan. The chassis fan has given up the ghost.
- A 17" LCD monitor since I'm still using that old CRT
that I fished out of a trash can 5 years ago!
Someday the poor beasty is going to get replaced by a new
machine that I build from scratch and demoted to being
my workbench machine and relegated to being a diskless
workstation. I just don't have the $$ to spend right now.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
