Quick question for all you Linux bods...

[Phil Harris <phil@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

...where can I get sandals from and how much are lentils? Oh yeah - and
what's the current "style" for goatee's?

:-D

Nah ... that's not it. I'm (again) doing my "I want to get away from
Microsoft and so I'm gonna try Linux" thing and have a machine set up
with "Ubuntu" (which seems quite a good little distro - seems
like
someone has spent some serious effort getting that all up and running
and user-friendly) and I have it on my network, set up for email, it's
seeing my servers etc.

What I was wondering is - does anyone know if there is anything out
there like SiSoft Sandra but on Linux that I can use to find out what
kind of transfer speed I'm getting to and from the firewire drives that
I have here?

(Reason for this desire to move to Linux : After three months of being
nice and stable my W2k3 Server machine has suddenly started giving me
occasional "Delayed Write Failure" messages - I know there's feck
all
wrong with the drives and if I reinstalled Windows on teh server it
would dissapear but I'm getting p'd off with having to do that just to
get round this!)
