    Anyone use ubuntu 9.10,thoughts?

    I haven't used Ubuntu Desktop much but VLC & Chrome will work, you won't need any virus checker software and I think Ubuntu already has a good CD/DVD writer built in. I've also heard lots of people suggest http://www.linuxmint.com/ to windows users.

    I think it's based on physical storage not actual. I'm guessing you many have over 10 TB if you're using RAID.

    Expand a raid 5 array w/o moving data.

    There was a thread on here not too long ago. Where someone done a similar thing but raid 1, then they had a problem expanding the partitions from the smaller size to new drive's size. So I would say go with backing up the array first, like others have said.

    Yeah, that's how i would do it. Although you should use <li>'s rather than just <div />'s though like in my example. <ul id="nav"> <li id="btn_home"><a href="#">Home</a></li> <li id="btn_article"><a href="#">Articles</a></li> </ul>

    Jumping from a 800px site to 1270px site is a big jump, 780px was the de-facto standard for sites being viewed on 800px wide screens then 1024px screens came along and this standard changed to 960px wide site designs. Now 1280px screens are pretty much everywhere now 1080px site designs will...

    Just wondering, Why do you have that #main 1270px wide? The widest you should currently have a site at is 1080px or have a fluid layout. Once you put content on there will be horizontal scroll-bars for people with 1280px screens. Also this is a better way to set your margin. #main {...
