Great App: manServer

Do you read a lot of man pages ? Sick that you cannot click on See Also pages?

Try manServer which converts man pages to HTML, is perl script, has a built-in web server to browse thought the pages.

LogiLink Adapter

To use my "old" IDE devices, I bought adapters. The options on the net about these weren't very good: too slow, do not work. I cannot confirm this.

My adapters:

LogiLink Adapter AD0008: S-ATA to IDE + IDE to S-ATA
http://logilink.com/showproduct/AD0008.htm
Adapter needs power supply via a USB power cable (within the scope of supply).

LogiLink Adapter AU0005A: USB 2.0 to 2,5 + 3,5 Zoll IDE HDD
http://logilink.com/showproduct/AU0005A.htm
Great stuff, works with HDD, CD drives, ...
If motherboard supports boot from USB, OS from an external HDD or CD drive can be executed.
Jumper has to be set master.

Looking for pand in Fedora 12 ?

You can find it in the package bluez-compat

PAN: Personal Area Network

Hibernate

Do you think nowadays a swap partition is not needed anymore because of the GB-sized RAMs ?

Well, if you want to use the Hibernate feature you need a swap partition. There is the possibility to use a file on a disk to store the RAM for Hibernate but the quickest way is to use a swap partition.
