Yes, it's very stable for me. Currently got a LAMP(Linux Apache Mysql phpmyadmin) install on it, plus webmin. Definitely need a swap file if you are going to run a lot on it. I went with 1GB for swap. Use this link as the process on the main Arch Linux wiki didn't work for me: http://archlinuxarm.org/support/guides/ ... g-swapfile I'm thinking of moving my music collection and using ampache + MPD, that will have to wait till hopefully a working USB_SND module is made available for the currently kernel.

850Mhz is quite stable on the PPV3 variants. It might be a bit much on an iomega. The only instability we've found is with the 3.1.10+ kernel we are working on, not the CPU speed.

And its a non-pci variant.

I was trying to change the symblink for nopci. I created a new symlink with ln command and it sized only 60k. I looked your original symlink, it's about 2M. Am i doing something wrong? I was using Ubuntu, by the way.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('WarheadsSE', 'l')n -s ?


Yes, that's what I did, since you mentioned Symlink. Should i create hard link instead?
Thanks

Symlink should have worked.

Thanks. I don't know why the size is so different.

Is there anything "special" about the way we you compiled the kernel to run off of SATA? I am on a Pro...and really want to try to add NFS modules...
