Nothing like wheat germ. Nothing like oats. It's just white corn meal as opposed to yellow corn meal. Usually ground a bit coarser. Most cooked grains don't have strong flavors. Have you had oatmeal with no sugar, milk, etc,., just plain ? :=) > To keep this on topic though, I remember some talk about journalling > filesystems and getting that.

This week there was a big sale on 100GB IDE drives in one of the local electronics store. $299 for 100GB is pretty reasonably priced storage. I like the robustness I saw on xfs on Irix. Has anyone looked at performance of one of the circular log type files. All files are stored in contiguous pieces. I can see that it would be a poor performer on database files. > On Mon, Jul 16, 2001 at 09:39:18PM +0100, Doug Rabson wrote: > > On Mon, 16 Jul 2001, Alfred Perlstein wrote: > > > > > Other fun things to post about are: > > > "First Post." > > > "Natalie Portman." > > > "Relative merits of the GPL versus gargonzola cheeze." > > > "How sun spots are contributing to the death of *BSD." > > Isn't there something about "hot grits" as well?
