Weekend computer update

The Debian upgrade on the fileserver (nova) is almost done -- there are only a couple of services not configured yet. Unfortunately those include printing, samba, and DHCP, so if I did the switchover now the PCs would be at least partly broken. There are also a few more client machines that also need upgrading. I try to do my system administration work when the rest of the family is either asleep or otherwise occupied.

In the course of testing nova, I powered it down and installed one of my new 120GB drives; it will eventually be used mainly for audio files, including oggs of our CD and tape collections.
