Hi Guys Firstly, I think I have discovered the very first Linux virus. I have checked it out with one other member of the group and he has confirmed that my system has the virus! It is called the proximity virus and basically works like this. System unusable! Take to one Neil Stone, he touches system and it starts to work. Bring system home - system becomes unusable again! Don't get this virus or we will all have to move to Saltash! Secondly, servers! I spent a little bit of time with Neil and get some questions answered which then brings another four hundred that need answering! I have to build a server for someone with about 8 computers! I am looking at using either Pentium 4s or Amd 64s and possibly rack mounting them. However, I discovered to rack mount you need adequate cooling or stick them in 4u cases. Then I discovered Xeons and opterons! Is it necessary to buy server chips or can I run an 8 user network with p4s and amd 64s please? Rack mounted stuff simply saves space - is there any other benefits please? Finally, any books recommended for learning about file servers please?
