    Laptop Security

    The sheer weight of that laptop should be a deterrent...:D

    Good company to buy dual opteron systems from?

    Looks like one already arrived... As the first, non-trolling poster said, you can't get much better than Boxx (www.boxxtech.com), the Apple of workstations.

    Kubuntu with KDE 3.4 The wallpaper is FlowerMacro by love1008 The dock is Ksmoothdock The media player is amaroK I get about 4 hours of battery power under linux (which, amazingly, is only 35 minutes less than I get on windows doing the same tasks), so I can't complain. I'm using the ati...

    Gentoo question

    Don't do a stage 1 install, especially on a machine like that, here is a thread from one of the devs about problems with a stage 1, and here is a thread detailing what is probably the "best" way to install gentoo (with NTPL support :cool: ). But, you seem to have a misconception about gentoo...

    Best price-to-quality iPod case?

    I ordered an iskin evo2, largely because I was able to get it new for $19. I thought about the podsleevz, but it didnt seem like it would offer much protection in the likely event something happened to my ipod. I take it everywhere, and bought a tape cassette adapter for my car so it never...

    External Enclosure Malfunction?

    I recently bought a Bytecc ME-320 external enclosure, and stuck an 80 GB seagate hard drive in there. The drive worked fine when originally connected to the computer, and I was able to back up close to 20 GB of files. This was under Windows XP with I *think* (don't know as I was pulling the...

    WarDriving + Web Browsing Laptop

    Instead of trying to act like an internet tough guy, it would probably be wiser to secure your network. Because, you know, that is your responsibility.

    WarDriving + Web Browsing Laptop

    Its a good thing our laws are run on the word of some senator...:rolleyes: Wait for that high school government class. And he didn't ask whether this was legal or illegal (its not for those of you a little short in cognitive functions - bypassing any encryption is), he asked for a good...

    Which is the best Linux?

    Red hat now has two branches, one officially supported and one "sponsored." The official one is more for enterprise use, and it is expensive largely for the customer support and cost of development. Where as the sponsored one is called Fedora and aimed more at home and small office use...

    File server for 4-5 people

    Verizon Fiber in our area + landlord saying it would not violate our contract = :cool: Which also leads me to believe with that pipe disk I/O will be more of an issue. Possibly, although unlikely. What would happen is winamp would be set to buffer the current song into memory, so it...

    File server for 4-5 people

    Will probably be used for streaming mp3s and avis. The only thing I worry about as far as the cpu goes is it will probably have a dozen+ torrents open at one time (how big of an impact will this have on disk throughput?).

    File server for 4-5 people

    I am moving into an apartment with some friends from high school in a few weeks, and we are looking into a file server + download station. I want to run debian, they want to run windows so I have been trying to keep that in mind for specs. I was thinking a single P4 or dual P3s? 256 MB ram...
