I'm not sure if anybody else has had problems with this, but as of lately, when I want to reply to threads, when I hit the reply button, I end up waiting anywhere from a minute to over 5 minutes before I can actually start typing my reply. I am running on Ubuntu 6.06, with Swiftfox (optimized...

don't mess with the router -- no matter what your intentions. bad things (tm) can happen even if you have good intentions of not allowing a malicious person to hack into the router, you also instantly become a 'hacker' in the eyes of the law and un-technical people for changing the password on...

is that gdesklets in the bottom right?

edited...whoops...what is TD?

link to the tutorial :D I have used it in the past, and yea, it is damn cool -- I'm a recent OSX convert though, so I barely use my Ubuntu machine anymore :p

whoops, I should have mentioned that we pay for the co-location...but yea, it IS far cheaper than hosting a server in a datacenter somewhere with some big bandwidth :)

Crossover just released a publi beta of their software (a specialised version of wine basically), and I have been running cs source and half-life 2 on my ubuntu machine and my macintosh :D

Tape is great if you have a small amount of data, because if you need to backup alot of data, you are going to need huge budget to buy the tape drive and media. Then there is all the running around, or courier services required to put your tapes somewhere else offsite, and that can get...

WGA is pretty crappy -- I have had 2 systems out of 10 that use the same VLK fail WGA for no apparent reason. The only thing that I have read is that if your system clock is off by more than a few seconds, that can cause your computer to fail validation :-/ Also this site has some other...

damn, thats alot of horsepower in a small box

While I am no photography expert, I have played around with the Rebel XT and the D50, and by my own eye, the pictures shot with the rebel XT looked better than the D50. Before I get flamed, YES the cameras were used, so quality may have been an issue, YES, the lenses were not the same, YES I...

http://sourceforge.net search to your hearts content, there are *tons* of network design and monitoring tools on there

lololol security holes! and if that doesn't work, then resort to fire!

and make sure your network card has enough coolant to keep it running. and keep your fork, cuz there's pie!

In order to get spdif output working with my Chaintech AV710 (optical out with DTS), I had to put the following asoundrc file in /etc/ (NOTE: you would be chaning your hardware id's to those of your digital outputs here) pcm.envy_spdifdmix { type dmix ipc_key 1337 slave {...

why hasn't this thread been locked yet? why hasn't this person been banned yet? I sincerely hope that someone as retarded as this 'gibzilla' cannot really exist. some of the other posts by this person on these forums are so stupid and baseless, that I am baffled. and in the very off chance...

wtf is going on in here? the chances your ubuntu got hacked are slim to none. also, why are you running windows executables on a ubuntu machine to try to detect anything? are you drunk? on drugs? retarded?

I have no experience with the Tyan board and its power requirements, but I ran a dual AthlonMP 2000+ system on a K7D master mobo, and 4 IDE drives off of a 350 watt antec smartpower psu for a little over a year. I got a new case (antec P180) and decided to get a new PSU, and I got an Antec...

http://www.getautomatix.com/wiki/index.php?title=Main_Page google is your friend ;) Also, not sure where you were looking for automatix, but it just recently moved away from the ubuntuforums.org site where it gained popularity and moved to its own domain, getautomatix.com cheers, drac

your requirements could vary widely depending on whether this is going to be a 'workstation' or a 'server', and they can vary widely within those categories...that being said, if you aren't going to go with an OEM solution as has been already suggested, a good starting point for either type of...

FYI, portage is based off of the FreeBSD ports system.

cool wallpaper...got a link?

I would think you could sell all of that for at least $300. I bought something similar off of ebay, but with 2G of ram for about $375. your best bet is to just look around on ebay for the parts and come up with something similar. if you decide to sell...let me know :D

yeah, I completely agree with you

I'm not sure what the selection of cards is that Dell has, but this card might fit the bill: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16814127201

I used to run dual AMD Athlon 2000+'s on an MSI k7d-master motherboard, with 2 gigs of DDR-333, running Ubuntu linux, with windows xp in vmware, and the machine ran really solid. Then, after a watercooling accident that destroyed the motherboard and all my pci-cards, I built a machine using...

Thats a hell of a deal on the reciever ^^^. :D While most of my room is boring (just a bed, closet, and a window), here's a pic of the good stuff:

and with a 15 minute load average of 0, this machine just sits there? I wouldn't be too proud to tell anybody that I had root remotely accessible. period!

what windows theme is that? and what stats program is that? I really like your setup, it is really clean :D

You have to have a single disk with an accessible partition from the BIOS when you are doing software RAID. Depending on the OS, the basic idea is that this is where linux takes care of the pre-loading of the modules that allow your kernel/system to see your software raid and boot off of the...

this is the [H] afterall if someone could get 3500fps out of their computer and monitor, they would. end of story. I'll happily stick with my 60fps and vsync ;)

glad that all of these posts have anything at all to do with the actually OP's topic...

look for some documentation on the tool 'mdadm'. It will let you create a software RAID array of drives or partitions. Alas, you will not be able to see your raid array you created with windows, you will have to format both the drives and start fresh. sorry I can't give more help, but when I...

I have gotten the same performance on FreeBSD, Ubuntu, and slackware. Ease of getting games installed and working with the least hassle...well that award has to go to Ubuntu. Talking native games -- not games under cedega/wine here. Since there is no cedega for freebsd (i have not checked...

If you do it, make damn sure your hoses are all clamed down well...so that a slight bump to the case doesnt make them leak :D in my case...I fell off my bed and landed on my computer kind of...and didn't think much of it...next morning...well: However, done right, it does totally...
