So I'm comparing some backups with the originals to see if they match (in which case I can zap the backups, because I now have backups of everything, so I don't really need to keep backed-up backups of backups), and the system is sustaining more than 50MB/sec from the two drives containing the originals and the backups respectively. Which is pretty nice.

Also, my GeForce 6600 just arrived. It turns out that it does do HDTV output, but it doesn't have the cute little backplate for it; it uses this adaptor thingy instead that plugs in to a min-DIN connector. Less cute, but it doesn't take up a slot.

The only problem remaining is that I now need to replace faulty hardware in both my Linux boxes, reformat and reinstall... Except that one is a backup of the other. So I have to rebuild one of them, copy everything across, rebuild the other, and copy everything back. Yay for rsync and gigabit ethernet!
