    Lightweight OS for old computer?

    I've got ubuntu 9.04 running on a little HP small form factor PC with a 2.6Ghz P4 and 1GB RAM. Works a charm! I have mine hooked up in the kitchen/diner for light tasks like iPlayer and music, not a problem with it and its much more snappy than winXP. RAM is cheap!

    Windows- 7.3 Million viruses a year

    Mac OS X and Linux's security can't be compared to Windows! Windows as you all know is the most widely used OS in the whole world, and for that reason its obvious hackers and the like are going to try exploit windows because more people use it. Far less people use the alternatives and in many...

    Google Apps versus Office Live

    Google Apps seems to look the more mature solution. The recent changes to google docs, mail and calendar have made it a so much better platform, and its free for 100 users too! Google Apps also has more opportunities away from the beige computer (mobile mail, calender, talk, docs). I would...

    Router makes hissing noise like speakers

    My phone transformer makes some rather loud high pitched noise... I'd make the bet its the power supply for your router causing the problem. Maybe it isnt your router ?

    Web browsing: Changing your country of origin?

    You would be breaking the law watching that on the BBC you know! (I don't expect that you pay for a UK TV license out there where you live lol) I've tried to access some content on American sites (more specifically Hulu) and it would not work which is kinda annoying! Even through proxies it...

    Official BlueProton GSKY Wireless Thread

    Cool, i thought the wireless card inside my new laptop was good compared to what i used before. Wireless range is not an issue for me though, but maybe it may be useful for some. Do they make them to actually fit inside laptops ?

    Creating a network using to internet connections.

    Its probably much more efficient to upgrade to a 4 meg connection unless you are after failover. You will need to either buy or build a router capable of multiple WAN connections. Or you can go the route of creating two adjacent networks using either VLANs or separate switches and separate...

    Radius vs TACACS

    You can set up policies within IAS on your domain controller. After configuring the policies add the radius client (VPN server, switch, WLAN access point etc...) and keep note of your shared key. If you need the M.A. attribute then check the box. This is not too much work and it will all be...

    Looks like a show-off product to me, but i can see it being pretty useful to many people who arent computer professionals. Great idea though, gorra admit.
