Cheap OEM mobo for sale/trade - HP OEM ASUS MEW-VM
by Jon Pruente 25 Nov '07

25 Nov '07

I've got an old Socket 370 mobo sitting around and I need to get rid of it (and a bunch of other stuff too...) so it's up for sale/trade. I'll take buy offers, but I could use some DDR RAM, or more usefully a data cable for either a Samsung A640 or a Sanyo SCP-3200. A used DDR-DIMM or a cheap cable should be an even trade, but I can add in some RAM for the mobo and/or maybe a CPU upgrade if someone has both cables or a nice DDR-DIMM or a couple. HP OEM'd ASUS MEW-VM Rev 2.03 Celeron 500 i810 chipset This mobo is recently getting support started in LinuxBIOS: http://linuxbios.org/News#2007.2F06.2F14_Intel_810_chipset_and_ASUS_MEW-VM_… Thanks, Jon.

As someone who only attended one meeting, due to the fact I work nights (have one in the daytime ;) ) the only hardware issue I know of, was they didn't have wireless access for the longest time (by the posts I read). Around the time I first got interested heavily in Linux, and attended the meeting, I got a second job, and started working 7 days a week. That lasted 3 years and I had 6 days off between them (and the second one still wants me back). Now I actually have next Tuesday off, and am wondering if there is going to be a meeting since it is Thanksgiving week? I still wonder what the fuss is about changing the meeting? For those of us south, it seems where it is would be fine, are they kicking us out? -------------- Original message ---------------------- From: "Christopher A.

Access (no laughing!) database programmer needed ASAP
by Greg Brooks 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

Anyone strong on MS Access or care to recommend someone who is? Quick project, immediate payment. The project: Got a client with an Access database on their server. Multiple people log into it, use it, etc. It's all getting ported to a PHP/MySQL web app, but in the meantime I need to let users continue to use the app on a localized (i.e., on their individual machines) basis. Near as I can tell, the entirety of the task involves getting hardcoded path declarations stripped out of the database/app. Give me a ring on my cell if you're the right person or know someone who is: 816-985-1361. Many thanks, Greg Brooks

Hard Drive Noise
by Jim Herrmann 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

My wife's desktop is making an odd rhythmic sound that sounds like a quiet chain saw revving over and over again. It does not continue without end, but runs quite a bit. I believe it to be a disk drive making the sound, but it's hard to tell which one of the three drives in the machine is making the sound. I have installed and run the smartmon utilities and they don't indicate any hard drive failure being imminent. Any suggestions as to how I might figure out which drive is making the sound, and thus is the one headed south? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Peace, Jim

Recommended Links for Newbies
by Jim Herrmann 20 Nov '07

20 Nov '07

I have some folks that are interested in using Linux, but want a good migration guide. Do you have any links that you recommend for guides for newbies? I'm thinking they should start with Ubuntu, and dual boot. That allows Ubuntu to do it's migration thing. Anyone know if it will migrate Outlook mail yet? Anyway, what's your best Linux to Windows migration links? Thanks, Jim
