FreeBSD 5.0?

Published August 30, 2002

Okay, besides the fact that it’s not a full release, can anyone think of a reason not to use FreeBSD 5.0-DP1 on my home file server? I like the idea of ACL support in Samba, especially with it being a PDC and me logging into it. Then again, since it’s only me, there isn’t that big of a concern over rights.

Any ideas?

New Computer

Published August 8, 2002

I finally got around to ordering the parts for my new computer. Here’s what it’ll have:

Asus P4T533 Motherboard (i850E chipset)
512MB PC1066 32-bit RAM in the form of 2x256MB RIMMs
Intel P4A 2.26GHz CPU w/Retail HSF

I’ll be putting it all inside of the same Doggie Case that I’ve been using for a few months. It’ll also use all the existing parts, including the Riva TNT2, SCSI CD-ROM and CD-RW, Sony floppy, and fibre channel array. I did pick up a Soyo BayOne to get some front mounted USB ports and CompactFlash reader.

The parts were ordered from Runtime Computer in Canton (MB and RAM bundle for $420), Directron (Soyo BayOne for $29.99), and Googlegear (CPU for $234).
