    Advice on new build please

    Hello, Thanks for all the feedback. Just one last question, I don't want to start a debate or anything but could someone suggest whether I go with Nvidia or AMD for video card? I don't really mind either way, as long as I get better performance than my current 8800GT (which I'm sure isn't...

    best way to back up 4TB

    Hello, I currently have about 4TB of data that I have backed up. It is currently backed up on a opensolaris box with 4x 1TB drives running RAIDZ1. The data that I have backed up is not critical. That said, I would like to keep it. Now, from my understanding RAIDZ1 is similar to RAID5, which...

    Top 7 Reasons People Quit Linux

    Hello, Straight off, want to say, personally I love *nix (so I am from the *nix camp!) People use different OS's for different reasons. I don't like MS Windows XP but I use it for it's game support. (eg. Left4Dead Linux-10fps, Windows-100fps avg at last test, which was a while ago). I...

    Linux for a beginner.

    good advice here... I would say Ubuntu cause there should be quite a bit of information floating about the interwebs for it. I am currently running Debian on my work PC, which I was running Ubuntu on before. I can never understand the disgreements with distro's, I've tried many over the...

    Options for work machine...

    I do this. I am a Network Engineer for a Service Provider. Running Debian with vmware\Windows for some applications. Works like a dream! No more pointless Windows error messages which make you stupid just by reading them. I did keep my Windows partition until a couple of weeks...

    Those who have/are thinking about moveing away from windows.

    to leave it on or to not leave it on, that is the question

    thanks everyone for your replies. I wouldn't leave my desktop on if I didn't need to use it. Before I was even just paranoid leaving pc on if I was downloading a large torrent or something but with all the replies it makes me relax a bit more and understand leaving it on, probably isn't...

    raid0 setup on ICH9R

    ah thanks for that mate, however I think I did the same thing myself. I used nLite and slipstreamed into a winxp install CD. Things seem to be a lot faster. Is there any way to test a RAID0 setup to ensure it's all working? Now, when I check in disk management I see one c: drive that is the...
