Arch Linux - Must Install 'Eject'?

Ok, I've been working on my Linux skills a little bit and installed ArchLinux which installs to a CLI environment and I have to basically build the system from the ground up.  If I want a media player, I have to install it (using pacman... not 'Pac-Man', it is for 'Package Manager').  If I want my computer to use screensavers, I have to install the screensaver program...  Now this was a little bit crazier, if I would like to be able to eject the CD tray via the physical button on the device or through the software on the computer I have to install 'Eject'. Wow.

Diskless Remote Boot in Linux (DRBL)

I have recently undertaken the task of creating a cloning system for quickly replicating large quantities of PC's on our network.  The way I have gone about doing this is through an application called Clonezilla in conjunction with DRBL.  Below is a link to the instructions that I followed and I will detail later some of the things that I ran into and how best to configure it and so forth that specifically helped me and my situation that may or may not also apply to you.

Overclock - P4 2.66Ghz to 3.00Ghz

Ok, it's been a long time since I posted something, way... too long.  I recently overclocked my first (get the boo's and ahh's out of the way...) processor today.  It was an old machine that was parts leftover from an overhaul I did to someone's computer some time ago and an old server that had an Intel P4 in it.  It's an old Gigabyte motherboard Socket 478b and entertained myself today overclocking it from its 'stamped' frequency of 2.66Ghz to 3.00 Ghz.  It was basic overclocking, just what was in the standard Award BIOS on the system after I made sure it was updated to the newest version of its BIOS.  Attached is the device manager showing the stamped frequency and the CPU Speed Pro application I used to measure its actual processing power.

Here is a link to the program I used to measure with.  !CAUTION! - This application does appear to try and entice you to download additional programs or purchase a fuller/paid version of the application when you close it down.
