3/2     Has anyone seen this?  Should make a good firewall appliance.
        http://www.linuxdevices.com/news/NS3880195342.html
        \_ With only one nic?  I suppose you could use the USB..
           Wonder how M0n0wall would do on this..
           \_ I could ask Manuel (the guy who put M0n0wall together) if you're
              interested--we have him on retainer on one of my projects. -John
              \_ More "curious" than "interested"
        \_ not bad for 30 euros...  It's a decent firewall appliance, if
           your upstream filters rfc1918.

3/29    A friend wants a PC (no mac). She doesn't want Dell. Is there a
        good place that can custom build for you (SSD, large RAM, cheap video
        card--no game)?
        \_ As a side note: back in my Cal days more than two decades ago when
           having a 387SX made me the only person with floating-point hardware,
           most machines were custom built.

        \_ How is this different from the hundreds of other M$ security
           vulnerabilities that people have been finding?
           \_ "The vulnerability could allow remote code execution if an

11/1    I'm moving from a home in Fremont to another home within the same ZIP
        code in Fremont, and AT&T customer service says I cannot transfer my
        DSL service because DSL is not available at my new home.  Is that BS?
        Are they just trying to push me to subscribe to their more expensive
        U-verse service?  I'm not asking for any lightening-speed connection.

11/4    Holy cow, I got a warning from my ISP that they were notified
        by BSA/baytsp.com that I was copying music/video/software.
        Do they do port scan or something? That's a first for me.
        \_ They hang out on P2P networks and track IP addresses.  -tom
           \_ I believe they are paid by content providers to perform this
              monitoring service, so you should only run this risk with content

10/1    I am thinking of installing firefox on soda under my home directory.
        Will this make me a hozer?
        \_ Possibly. I wonder if we should have another VM for that...btw,
           I remember someone saying they're glad we're not on FreeBSD
           anymore, but last I checked, a bunch of our stuff is on FreeBSD,
           but our login server is not.

9/9     What should outbound mail server be when reading mail from soda
        with IMAP? Is there a FAQ?
        \_ It's <DEAD>mail.csua.berkeley.edu<DEAD> (same as for incoming mail).
           \_ "The message could not be sent because connecting to SMTP
               server <DEAD>mail.csua.berkeley.edu<DEAD> failed. The server may
               be unavailable or is refusing SMTP connections."

Acme Systems is shipping a Penguin-shaped case for a tiny SBC (single-board computer) powered by an innovative MCM (multi-chip module) that runs Linux. The 67-inch tall, 30-Euro "Tux Case" houses the company's "Acme Fox," a 26 x 28-inch, 100-Euro, RISC-based board with Ethernet and dual-USB interfaces, and surface-mount connectors for other I/O. The Tux Case comprises six pieces of colored plastic (the red piece represents the SBC -- click to enlarge) The case offers rear-mounted I/O ports for standard I/O, along with break-out ports for an available optional serial port, and possibly a planned RJ-11 modem connector. Etrax 100LX MCM The Axis MCM uses "high-density packaging" (HDP) technology that allows "naked dies" -- an SoC, RAM, Flash, and I/O components, for example -- to be combined into a single chip, for reduced footprint and BOM (bill-of-materials). The Etrax 100LX weds a RISC-based SoC (system-on-chip) with 4MB of Flash, 16MB RAM, an Ethernet transceiver, and "various interface components," and requires only 33V power and a 20MHz crystal in order to run Linux, Acme says. Etrax 100LX, based on a 32-bit RISC instruction, and said to deliver 100 MIPS (millions of instructions per second). The SoC integrates on-chip controllers for 10/100 Mbit Ethernet, four high speed serial ports, two USB ports for both host and device, IDE, SCSI, and two IEEE-1284 "fast" parallel ports. The Acme Fox's I/O connectors include 10/100 Ethernet and two USB ports. Twin surface-mount connectors expose other available I/O, as shown below. Surface-mount connectors offer additional I/O The board also has a serial port pin header that uses the board's 33V signal, but can be turned into a normal serial port with an available "Fox Console" board. Linux drivers for USB flash, hard drives, and USB-to-serial converters; and applications that include wget, vi, easyedit, and busybox shell commands and utilities. An included Linux software cross-development kit supports C language development on Debian or Red Hat Linux hosts. A free C compiling service is also available on the Web.
