You can find the others by yourself, I'm sure.

Nice CPU comparison chart on Tom's HW site and also hard disk performance data.

The older version of logwatch does not require any additional parameters. Now, at least --print, --detail and --range parameter should be specified.
logwatch --print --detail Med --archives --range Yesterday
--detail level
This is the detail level of the report. level can be a positive integer, or high, med, low, which correspond to the integers 10, 5, and 0, repectively
--range range
You can specify a date-range to process. Common ranges are Yesterday, Today, All, and Help. Additional options are listed when invoked with the Help parameter.
--archives
Each log-file-group has basic logfiles (i.e. /var/log/messages) as well as archives (i.e. /var/log/messages.? or /var/log/messages.?.gz). When used with "--range
all", this option will make Logwatch search through the archives in addition to the regular logfiles. For other values of --range, Logwatch will search the appro-
priate archived logs.

To add list directory option in the scroll-down menu follow the instructions on Microsof page. Instead of the original text which is intended to send the output to print use:
@echo off
dir %1 /-p /o:gn > "%temp%\Listing"
start /w notepad "%temp%\Listing"
del "%temp%\Listing"
exit

Create partition layout on /dev/sdb using fdisk. Label the primary partition for RAID as fd (Linux raid auto).
Copy partition layout from sdb to sdc and so forth:
# sfdisk -d /dev/sdb | sfdisk /dev/sdc
Let the kernel probe the new partitions:
# partprobe
Create RAID5 from sd[bcde]1. The -a yes instructs mdadm to create the device file if needed, possibly allocating an unused minor number:
# mdadm -C -a yes /dev/md0 --level=5 --raid-devices=4 /dev/sdb1 \
/dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1
Or create RAID0 (just change the --level):
# mdadm --create /dev/md0 --level=raid0 --raid-devices=4 /dev/sdb1 \
/dev/sdc1 /dev/sdd1 /dev/sde1
Add a disk to the existing raid5 array. The disk will be added as a spare:
# mdadm --add /dev/md1 /dev/sda8
To make disk regular part of an array (disk will not longer be a spare):
# mdadm --grow /dev/md1 --raid-devices=4
Resize the filesystem:
# resize2fs /dev/md1
Check the status og the newly created RAID:
# cat /proc/mdstat
Detailed statistics about your RAID:
# mdadm --misc --detail --test /dev/md0
Run backgroudn monitor of your RAID setup with mdadm. Add the RAID monitoring into /etc/rc.local. Linux box will mail you an message when the thing goes wrong.
/sbin/mdadm --monitor --mail=root@localhost \
--delay=300 /dev/md0 /dev/md1 &
Or enable monitoring with daemon:
# chkconfig mdmonitor on
# echo "MAILADDR root@mydomain.tld " >> /etc/mdadm.conf
# /etc/init.d/mdmonitor start
To test if the background monitoring works generate a test alert.
# mdadm --monitor /dev/md0 --test
Remove failed disk from the array:
# mdadm /dev/md1 -r /dev/sdc2
Put the disk back:
# mdadm /dev/md1 -a /dev/sdc2
Check the /etm/mdadm.conf after building raid. If the /etc/mdadm.conf is empty then you can regenerate:
mdadm --detail --scan > /etc/mdadm.conf
If the radid is not visible after reboot:
# mdadm --assemble /dev/md0 /dev/sd[e-h]
or
# mdadm -A -s (-s scan)
Stop the array (f.x. rebuilding array):
# mdadm --manage -S /dev/md0
Detailed info about /dev/md0:
# mdadm --detail /dev/md0
If you want the mirrored rootdisks will ableo to boot even with second mirror then you have to write the boot loader as well to the second disk. Some distros does not do that.
# cat /proc/mdstat

# cat /etc/grub.conf | grep "root (" | uniq

Then run "grub" and type:
