Re: [TCLUG:1345] Turn off my computer?



I leave my Linux server and my Windoze box on all the time.  However, I've
heard that cheap hard drives (ie. most of the IDE drives) are not really
made for continuous duty.  Server quality SCSI drives are.  I've also had
experience with one of my hard drives locking up after shutting down and
letting it cool down.  It started after a couple of tries (or rapping it
with a screwdriver).
