On this whole thread of "DANGER IN SCSI-LAND" about reconnecting downed
devices.

WHY CAN'T LINUX SUPPORT HOT-PLUGGABLE SYSTEMS EASILY?

That sound right? Prolly not... But, nonetheless hot-pluggable (able to
add/remove devices while powered up) type systems exist and are in use.

Can linux support these things?
It's prolly worth it in server-land..

These are systems _DESIGNED_ to have components added and removed on-the-fly.

I've REALLY had enough of all the warnings against it.. I just have
ONE warning:
Just because hot-pluggable SCSI exists doesn't mean you have it.
Make sure before you play... If you don't have hotpluggable, blowups
happen.

Will that do?

end of SCSI-comments.

Any suggestions on how to virtualize >256 virtual terminals?
(graphics-testing code needs + ppp + ... fills up fast!)
... [suggestions on how to code?] Or none, as the case may be. I CAN
live with this (but second computer going online to handle overload on
development machine)....

[and can anyone tell me if there's a way that I can run both SAMBA and
smbfs at the same time? Now that 2.1.43 finally SUPPORTS _WORKING_
smbfs, I've discovered that it don't play nice with samba [latest beta -
don't ask me which version].

... now bored enough to trace pppd and find out WHY it don't work in
2.1.43.... [sigh]. Gotta be a reason (prolly 'cause I'm running
glibc-2.0.4). Is anyone else using this?

Ciao!
