    Re: SETI@Home? —Mike Stanley
   (...) Yeah, I hear you. I'm not too worried, tho. I have ghost images of all my important PC's. (...) Oh, I don't have that many at home. I have that many at work. I only have 4 at home. Couldn't have more than 5 without running a proxy server, (...) (25 years ago, 17-May-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
   
        Re: SETI@Home? —Simon Denscombe
   (...) Don't bother with a proxy server - it's too much bother - I messed around with Wingate and everything needed special settings. The solution is a gateway - I use SyGate, basically all machines running through the gateway on a single machine can (...) (25 years ago, 17-May-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
   
        Re: SETI@Home? —Mike Stanley
   (...) Oh, I wouldn't bother with Wingate, although it is a decent enough package for two computers. If I do it I'll either use MS Proxy for NT Server (practicaly since I would be doing hands-on stuff that might help me with the Proxy class should I (...)

         Re: SETI@Home? —Mike Stanley
     (...) Well, it doesn't really matter until I get more than 5 machines at home. I have an ISDN router from work with 4 ports, connected to another 4 port hub. That gives me a current maximum of 6 machines connected at one time without adding another (...) (25 years ago, 24-May-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
   
        Re: SETI@Home? —Jasper Janssen
     (...) Yegh. Sounds bloody awful. (...) That works. Buy an old 386 with at least 8 megs and 100 megs, need no fulltime screen, keyboard, floppy, or CD drive. And it works quite well. barney:~# uptime 10:55pm up 43 days, 10:50, 1 user, load average: (...) (25 years ago, 30-May-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
    
         Re: SETI@Home? —Mike Stanley
      (...) Bloody awful but also bloody useful. I'm actually going to get my boss to send me to a new Linux admin class I got an e-mail about, but, for the most part, MS certification (and experience) is a lot more valuable where I live than Linux (...)

      (...) True, unfortunately. linux experience will get you jobs in the genertal unix field as well, though. (...) 386DX/40, 12 meg, 100 meg, cheapass Netcard. And it runs sendmail for me, so I can have as many email addresses as I want ;) (...) kill (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
     
          Re: SETI@Home? —Mike Stanley
      (...) Maybe, but I don't *want* a job playing with Unix all day. (...) Yep, definitely has its advantages. 'Course, I already have as many as I want, and a lot more than I could really use. I don't really like the thought of depending on a machine (...) (25 years ago, 1-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

   (...) named? Oh, yeah, I've been meaning to implement BIND as a caching nameserver, but it works ok without one, so I haven't got round to it yet. Other than that, Yeah, it works nice. Jasper (25 years ago, 4-Jun-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
