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

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.

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.

When I started at Uni they were just changed from user workstations into X terms hanging off Sparc ELC's. I remember using some a few years before I went to Uni though and they seemed fast at the time!! Oh how times change!!! The 3/60's have 68000 chips in AFAIK. So yeah, they do pre-date ye olde 80486 chips. Sun used to do a 386 file server at one point.

Ashley, This is one thing I've started to look into recently for my employer. Here's a couple of links.... http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sftp&sektion=1 This has the man page for sftp client http://www.xbill.org/sftp/ This package contains sftpserv. I haven't tried it yet - when I do I'll email the list. Andi "Ashley T.
