    Partition Question

    NOTE: THIS POST IS LARGELY ANECDOTAL For what it's worth (the price of admission here, perhaps)... I like having a system root partition larger than 2 gig. In fact, my present opinion - subject to change - is that 4 gig is very nice. But then, I run my domain controller like it was a...

    What it's a Rollover Cable

    Uh... say what??? I don't think so. A &quot;rollover&quot; cable is not simply an end to end mirror of the wiring order. This is because TX and RX are not in the middle of the RJ45 biscuit, and both pairs need to be surrounded by inductive grounding. A &quot;straight thru&quot; cable...
