PCI SATA controllers
by bk4caster＠netscape.net
I am just getting started with Linux. I installed Fedora 1 about 2 weeks ago. I was wondering where I could find a listing of supported PCI SATA controllers.
Thanks,
Brian

Raid-1 SCSI drive speed issue
by Mike Tremaine
I recently had a hard-drive get marked as faulty by the software raid
(after about 6 Months of running.) I have since replaced the drive and
re-added it as per HOT SWAP in the howto
http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/Software-RAID-HOWTO-4.html#ss4.2
My problem is this, the current speed on the second drive is really
slow, I'm not sure if this is just function of the limit it has during
the rebuild or if when the original failure occurred the SCSI bus marked
this target as "slow" and it is stuck at this speed.
Anyone have any insights into this?
SETUP:
Linux franklin 2.4.22-1.2174.nptlsmp #1 SMP

My gaim messes up too. I sign onto gaim and I attempt to send a message

Brion:
I have a Linux system that has a HP 1200 coonected through a USB and
share that with 4 Windoze machines. I am using Samba and Cups without
any problems. I also use my Linux box as a file server without any
problems.
There are some excellent Howto's on Samba and Cups

Rsync and Compression
by WipeOut
Hi,
I have created a script that will backup some files from my web server
to my local server via the internet.. I will be using Rsync over SSH..
I am unsure of the best way to impliment compression since bothe Rsync
and SSH have the ability to compress data..
The options are either to use rsync compression..
rsync -z --rsh=ssh ...
or ssh compression..
rsync -rsh="ssh -C" ...
My thinking is that the Rsync compression would probably only be
effective if I was communicating with an Rsync server but since I am not
it would probably be better to use the SSH compression since SSH is
providing the transport..
Can someone confirm or deny this? or correct me if my thinking is flawed..
Thanks..

Connecting to Microsoft VPN with Linux?
by Michael Mansour
Hi,
I have a job to do for a site which currently has two
Debian Linux boxes connected via VPN (using ipsec) to
two of its state offices.
In one state (the other state from here), this
particular company is supported by a mob who don't
know anything about Linux, so they wish to convert the
company to Microsoft VPN and have asked me what is
required on my end to make Linux support their
Microsoft VPN solution their end.
The sites are connected via an ADSL link, which the
debian linux box in my state handles (for dialup and
connection establishment etc).
I don't mind converting the company in my state to FC1
or whatever, but I'm wondering:
* can Linux VPN support Microsoft VPN?
* are there any ADSL modem/routers which support
Microsoft's VPN?
Any ideas or comments are welcome.
Michael.

Is Umbrello included in Fedora1?
by Tim Alberts
Is Umbrello included in Fedora1? I check on the umbrello.org website and it
says that it is included in the kdesdk. I do an rpm -q kdesdk and it shows
kdesdk-3.1.4-1 is installed. However, I can't find Umbrello anywhere on the
computer.

Err, that was a mistype there. It's apt where you have to "update",
then "upgrade". WIth yum, "update" will do it all.
But yes, after FC2 is released you *should* be able to point your
"/etc/yum.conf" file at a FC2 repository (it's currently pointed at a
FC1 repository) and issue "yum update"...and after many minutes of
churning (and probably a reboot) you should be running what is basically
a FC2 system.
Because of the larger changes that occur between releases (relocated
config files, software compiled with different support, wide-scale
changes like SELinux), you may have to sort out some things manually,
though. I recently upgraded one of our RH9 machines here to FC1 (in
prep for the RH9 EOL) using this method, and I remember a few things not
quite working right, due to an RPM present in FC1 but not in RH9 not
being installed...got this ironed out pretty quickly with a Google
search (turns out a lot of people had the same problem I did).
