Does anyone know if any distro (apart from Mandrake 7.2/8.0) uses Grub as well, or instead of, Lilo? Thanks Terry

As anyone used this or could comment on alternatives? scp is version 1 ssh's copy program, I think. sftp is version 2's. ftp over ssl is another thing entirely. -- MJR

The Amiga was a great machine... way better than any PC style hardware for years afterwards. In fact I still have my Amiga in the loft. Still trying to work out how I could get it on the Net. I need a harddisk, a network card and probably a bit more memory than the 1MB it currently has in it.

Anyway while we drift more and more off-topic you can look here for more Sun specs http://www.sunhelp.org/faq/sunref1.html according to that FAQ they did make a 386 and 486 workstation. but back in those days I was using Amigas.... mmmm Amiga Adam -- This message is Copyleft - all rights reversed Adam ********************************************************************* * Please visit the web site of the Financial Times at: * * http://www.ft.com * * * * For UK personal finance, please visit http://www.ftyourmoney.com * * * * This E-Mail is intended for the use of the addressee only and may * * contain confidential information.

Yes, you're right there Adam.... ...arrh the old Sun 3/60's... I remember using them way way back in the mists of time!! The days when 486's were fast!

The old Suns (3/60s I think) also had a strip of leds on the back of the case that did this Cylon thing to let you know it was running ok. Although this may of just been remembered wrong but it was something like that.
