Yet More Computer Stuff

It turns out that the hard drive in the first server (tuxbert, dual PIII-500s) is faulty and gradually failing. I've got a few potential replacements, so I'm gonna go through those until I find one that definitely works. First I need to remove everything to amdbert using rsync. I'm currently trying again as the first time I not only did it using a non-root user but I also failed to tell rsync to retain permissions correctly which resulted in the restored contents all belonging to a non-root user. This broke stuff.

I also decided to send that memory back, but not to the US office. It is currently winging its way to the CEO of Winbond in Taiwan, RoC.
