Computers will be lovely when they're finished.

Sod. New m/b has expired in a pile of squeaking (Single and entirely undocumented long peeps) and an upgrade appears to have shagged Courier authdaemon.

[FX: Hackery]

M/b still hosed, but with any luck under guarantee.

IMAP swerver doing auth again. I think the packaged version depended on mysql. (Not on my bloody computer you don't)

Still feel entirely bloody lost without my proper computer to hand, mind.

Solidarity, brother - my PDA has upped and died on my. Apparently though they can handle a lot of other fluids, cappucino foam is it's Achilles Heel. Personally I rarely drink the stuff so it's taken nearly two years to find that out, which is a good innings... I suppose...

(btw, you know it's usually just the memory when it does that, don't you?)

one long beep usually means catastrophic failure of memory or vga (dead cpu usually means nothing happens) - try reseating those or swapping them out to isolate it?

It's all on-board, I fear.

Shit! what board is that?

BTW, I think I know the upgrade you mean - is it that new DNS thing? Loads of people are having trouble with that - netgear routers and ZoneAlarm for windows are the worst affected.

Foxconn AMD2 64-bit summat-or-other.

The DNS fix is something else; I'm not worried about at @ home because that rig's all firewalled off. This was a generic BSD package-upgrade. Some of the pre-built packages have dependencies that can get confused if you've a mix of packages and locally-built stuff.
