My Opteron desktop/print server running Win2k has been locking up every couple of days. I installed Ubuntu 10.04 on it and have been slowly trying to figure out how to get it in the right Workgroup, etc. (found the info in Chapter 17 of the Ubuntu Server docs, just haven't had a chance to configure Samba yet, etc.). But J's PowerMac found the printers and that's been going Ok. Of course, the Winders machines can't see the printers until I get the Samba stuff configured...

But the Opteron still locks up every couple of days, so it's some sort of hardware problem. I've got another box I can use for it, but not the time right now.

This T61 running XP also locks up every couple of days if I leave it running, but it's Ok if I let it sleep with the lid closed when I'm done with it.

This is the first time (that I recall) that I've had a virus problem with it. Been lucky, I guess.

I'm slowly moving things over to Ubuntu, but I can't go cold turkey just yet.

:-)

Cheers,
Scott.
