Blogging has it's moments. ;p As an old Sun guy, I love what SmartOS is doing. First I'd heard of it was in this thread, I'll have to keep an eye on it though. Thanks!

Sorry for the thread necro but for my money, Centos 7 is the right choice. That's mainly because I run Red Hat and the like so working on Centos give me more time with it. The desktop has been heavily upgraded since the 5.x or 6.x days and it's frankly really good looking. YMMV, of course...

Can you share with us what host you're using for this server? Thanks!

Sounds like you've got this sorted out then. You'll probably want to keep it as simple as possible so why not just use the integrated sound card on the computer? Using a laptop wouldn't be my first choice because the cables never seem to all get plugged in right. Or, it'll go to sleep on you...

Oh, regarding matching the level of the output from your sound system, I don't think that will be too hard. The easiest way would be to get a line level output from a set of RCA jacks on your sound console. They usually have a 'record out' feature that should interface with an average sound card...

It sounds like this would be a pretty easy thing to setup. I'm a Red Hat \ CentOS \ Oracle Linux fan so I'd just run that. Grab a sound card or USB device that is supported and install the desktop interface. Then use Audacity to handle the recording functions. It's an open source program that...

Argh, I wish Sun hadn't screwed this up. ZFS on Solaris is so good compared to ZoL.

If you've got any Thinkpad's still available, PM me and I'll probably take one off your hands.

Check the driver and firmware on your tuners. Update everything to the latest available.

Sounds like a case of getting what you pay for.

Yup, I've run bootcamp for extended periods and it's extremely stable. As was mentioned earlier in this thread, on the new Mac Pro, only Windows 8+ is supported, so if you hoped to run 7, you're outta luck. Other than that, go for it.

Hrmm... the 5i was capped at 2tb, but I thought the 6 supported more. I recall having some 3 tb drives working well on it.

The blind leading the blind... good luck. /unsubscribe.

You've got a great configuration in theory but you don't really understand and I think you need to simplify. Build 1 server, 6 disks and make a zpool. Build a second server with 6 disks and build another zpool. Send the contents of zpoolA to zpoolB. Then go go get lunch because you're done. You...

It's Windows.... Plan for things that don't make sense or work reliably.
