The comments about both are favorable enough to make either viable. We haven't tried the Bettendorf Library yet. That takes 2-3 months to set up. I would like to meet at Panaras (February) to discuss wheather we want to try that. If so, that gives us a third option.

I guess we need to decide on a place soon, the problem with discussing it at Pinaras, is that the idea behind finding another meeting place is that with the good turn out we've been getting, it's difficult to get everyone in the discussion at Pinaras. I liked CIPA Filter, but Chris's point about getting added participation from the young blood at Augie makes my point about better location and parking seem kind of frivolous. I vote for Augie, but will attend anyplace. Any more input?

Distro is Debian Etch. Nvidia has the driver wrapped up with an installer that is supposed to be generic (except for SuSE). I was just wondering if anyone had used it and what they thought of it. Jim Ok, if I understand you correctly, this is the binary self-extracting, instead of something that expects you to sudo apt-get install nvidia - /glx/legacy/whatever? If so, I used to use those self extracting ones back when I was using SuSE. It was pretty easy, and put everything where it belonged, save for answering a few questions and double checking the x11/xorg.conf file. If it is the .deb kind, I have been installing them and other than the occasional glitch with screen resolution, I haven't had problems. I don't know if the above helps, but there it is (grin) From agamotto@sbcglobal.net Mon Feb 9 21:38:23 2009 From: agamotto@sbcglobal.net (agamotto) Date: Mon, 09 Feb 2009 15:38:23 -0600 Subject: [QCLUG] February Meeting Message-ID: <4990A24F.6010204@sbcglobal.net> Perhaps we should meet at Panera tomorrow considering the short notice?

(grin) I know I have been having fun in the last two weeks with two friends moving, a couple of actual interviews(!), and my own fun with whatever ran through my system last week. I almost lost my DSL box today, but thanks to about $10 in parts from Radio Shack, I was able to fix it.

Mom went into the office to get her email, and the 2wire gateway was dead. Tried plugging the a/c adapter into another socket, nothing. Figuring that the gateway itself was dead, I figured I would test it with an old a/c adapter that was close. It lit up, but wouldn't 'work' due to the lower amperage. A quick trip to the Brady St. Radio Shack solved the problem for all of $10. # 273-1763 6v mini a/c adapter # 273-1717 adaptaplug - N tip When I called ATT to see if I could get a replacement a/c adapter, their only solution was to replace the whole gateway, which would cost at least $79. Funny that they don't have replacement parts for what they sell.... I did some more digging, and apparently, 2wire has a LOT of problems with their a/c adapters. I called ATT back to let them know I had solved the problem on my own. The person who answered didn't believe me when I told him that I had solved the problem for under $10. The above parts seem to work for the 1000H/HW and the 1800 gateways. I hope this info might help someone who might run into this problem.

IO errors where from the hard drive - during installs (with the ubuntu and the Debian based partitioning disk) eventually we heard sounds of the platter crashing !!! One way to test this is to use dells disk utility or find out the manufacture of the hard drive and run its special dos based tools. these tools can attemp to remap sectors and prolongs a failing drives life. i did install smartmon tools its didnt seem to support online testing modes and the log not being readable. ( you can try the ultimate boot cd it has a couple disk based tools. http://www.ultimatebootcd.com/ ) It seems vista never triggered this sound and there is no disk based errors in the device manager (of course another test is to have vista use the whole disk and start filling it and see if you get the same sound and disk errors under system in the event log. if this is a hard drive failing it should fail at some point in windows another notice of a failing drive in windows during your filling the hard drive is windows can just become un-responsive and just plan lock up or super slow as it resets the drive and trys to read the sector) i do have a dell laptop with sata hard drives and as a test i can see if my drive would boot on your laptop. (the disk controlers pretty sure are the same) check out www.newegg.com i just replaced a failing drive for a persons laptop and for like 70$ got like a 320GB drive.
