OT - Sun keyboard and monitor


Does anyone on the list have a Sun keyboard and monitor suitable for use
on an Ultra Enterprise 1?

I got an Ultra sometime back and need to reset the boot options as it is
set to boot from the network.

I've tried everything possible using a terminal session but been unable to
access the OK prompt to reset the boot options.

To clarify my own post, the video cable of the Ultra has three BNC
connectors; the keyboard connector can be seen here:

RE: advice on locally available duplex printer

You'll be hunting a lot for printer that has a mechanical duplexer.  Lots of inkjets seem to be able to use elbow duplexers (that's *your* elbow of course ;-)   )  
 
What's more important?  Colour or Duplexer?  It's more common to have duplexers on Laser printers.  But that is also shown in the price........
 
HP printers always seem to be good Linux wise.  They even have a HP Linux printer project.
 
Lexmark low end are really bad for Linux.

If you want to print out 50+ page manuals, laser with a duplexer is the only
way that is tolerably fast (12ppm or more), unless you don't mind waiting.
Lasers are getting cheaper, but beware of windows GDI-only ones. If it takes
postscript files, it'll work in linux.

Inkjets rarely have duplexers (i've never seen one).

The running-cost per page is lower with laser. One toner cartridge usually
lasts between 5000-15000 pages on mine (cheap-option cartridge has half the
toner).

Yes, I've Debian testing up and running, although the repositories 
haven't been fully propagated yet but thats more the small non 
mainstream apps., I think, as I don't use it as my main workspace yet.

I can't comment on stable or unstable, although I think that's where the 
main effort has been focused.

IMO, I can't see any major problems with running with it.

Buring dual-layer DVDs


Anybody on the list had experience burning dual-layer DVDs? If so,
what did you use?

I've been using ffmpeg, dvdauthor and growisofs but find that I can only
burn standard DVDs with these; there are no switches to cope with the
dual-layer ones.

Any suggestions gladly accepted.
