Can you share a link to that wallpaper?

cleric@procyon ttyp0 [Sat Jul 16 14:32] (~) $ cat /var/log/dmesg.boot | grep CPU: CPU: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU 330 @ 1.60GHz (1618.44-MHz 686-class CPU) IF you want low power utilization, I think you're best off to look towards newer parts (board, cpu) I switched from a dual...

how about a PHP front-end? You could write some quick code to pull the data from the DB based on terms entered by the non-technical users...

This should work nicely for you: http://www.pgadmin.org/

Nice! What IRC and Mail(?) app do you have running on the second monitor?

my latest from the macbook pro: <edit> updated with new some HD / folder icons.

SLR + vikki + Superleggera = win. :D Nicely put together, very creative!

pfSense on an SSD should do nicely. Have two Intel Atom boxes (redundant) on full gigabit links and regularly handle 700+mbits/s through my work office.

If you want "fancy", maybe try out Linux Mint - based on Ubuntu but with some more nice themes and eye candy.

Hardware RAID is fine, and I never said the OP should ditch the controllers. Just a suggestion on filesystem to achieve redundancy and performance for this level of storage, because I really think it'd be stupid to run 100TB of storage with no redundancy. ZFS is designed to run on...

You should really look into using an OS with ZFS support. It was made for this type of application. You can create "raidz" (raid5) or "raidz2" (raid6) groups of disks - say 8 disks per group -- then you can then create one large storage "pool" out of all of your disk groups. So, for example...

Handbrake (CLI) is, IMO, the best DVD ripper you can get. I don't have any suggestions for copying or burning DVD's though, as I simply rip them and view over the network via HTPC. k3b may be able to do direct DVD cloning, etc

Have a look through the screenshots thread Lots of people using Conky for stats on the desktop, and there are also many people who have little widgets in their Gnome / KDE / XFCE task bars for cpu / memory usage. If you're running Gnome / XFCE, you can run the gnome-system-monitor applets...

keenan's method is quick and easy, and should work for you ... however if you need to connect to an external mail server, do authentication, etc, I've found smtp-client.pl to be very helpful.

Those are the nicest pictures of a messy setup I've ever seen! :p What lens / body did you use for the photos? Clean up those wires and that would be one real clean setup. Love the triple-monitors.

This is awesome. How did you do it?? :cool:

Wallpaper? :D

care to share that wallpaper?? Nice looking desktop!

The card I got is just purely a SATA controller - although with simple BIOS / firmware updates, you can give it hardware RAID. I'm using ZFS' built in raidz2 functionality since it blows away the RAID functionality of any sub-$300 RAID card, plus ZFS has some very nifty features. :D

Looks like you're on vista? Try following this how-to: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/09/09/disable-and-turn-off-ipv6-support-in-vista/

Just to make sure here - this will disable IPv6 ... so ensure you don't need it first :) My mistake, looks like MS, of course, can't stick to standard syntax. from this URL: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555577 netsh int ipv6 uninstall

1. Open Command Prompt. 2. At the command prompt, type ipv6 uninstall, and then press ENTER.

I've been running 3 fileservers in my place with FreeNAS and ZFS, and I've got no complaints as yet. The biggest fileserver I've got is running 10x Samsung Spinpoint F1 1TB drives on two of this PCI-e SATA controller antares:~# zpool list NAME SIZE USED AVAIL...

Yep! Absolutely, positively, completely no way to get 8mbit WISP! I'm sorry for any customers who reach you on the phone, with that attitude :rolleyes: first rule - pics for clicks This is the "core" of my network in my apartment. I've gone all gigabit ethernet, along with CAT6 wiring...

Nice and clean new windows desktop: Original Wallpaper is on my gallery

super bump here, as I stumbled on your thread from a google search while troubleshooting a Samsung HD103UJ drive issue... The Supermicro AOC-USAS-L8i card *will* work in a regular PCI-e slot, however the "bracket" that hooks into the chassis needs to be replaced in order to have it mount...

Where'd you get that Stig poster??

A fellow cyclone? word. with 3x 750W power supplies (that are probably about 40% efficient!), I can't even turn it on in my apartment or the breakers trip :p I'll probably toss a mini-ITX system into the empty drive bay and figure out something fun to do with that though :D

My upgrade from a 22" Sanyo CRT TV :D Samsung LN46A630 + Engergy "Take Classic 5.1" speakers ... and an SNES My computer desk: And the best addition I've made to my apartment yet - my new living room table:

That's why I bought one of the old Logitech DiNovo Bluetooth "Media Desktop" Keyboards! It's been my favorite keyboard for years. I paired mine with a Logitech G7 Wireless mouse for by far, the best keyboard / mouse experience I've ever had. I'll post some pictures later today ... I got a...

looks good!

Here's my latest, now that I've converted my ubuntu workstation into a mac :p click for fullsize

Network stuff in my apartment:

I'm pretty sure it works fine? Where did you get the info that it doesn't work? I added some repositories for AWN into my older xubuntu 8.04 install and I used AWN for about 6 months from the beginning of this year until this summer within my xubuntu desktop (click for fullsize)...

How are you guys getting customized icons / menu bar / dock? Using Shapeshifter / Candybar? morpheus777, I really like that dock setup you have :D

hah I downloaded that to check it out because of the silly name, along with the music that comes with it. I really like the color scheme actually! :p

definitely don't get a watchguard. piles of garbage. I don't like sonicwalls due to the licensing crap I've had to deal with. I've never worked with the ASA ... but please, not another watchguard :p

I usually just disregard posts from people who don't have a clue :p As for adding another line of defense: Not really. If you are offering publicly available services (dns, web, vpn, mail, etc) then unless you have an IDS system in place that does L3+ traffic inspection and can take action on...

haha, I used to have the same problem :p

While what you say is good security practice, unfortunately, most home and small business users cannot justify having 10 systems running to each do a dedicated task like firewalling, vpn access, dns, dhcp, etc. Even with virtulization (vmware, xen, jails, etc), the additional headache of...
