Does anybody see a problem with running a server with 8 hard drives inside a garage? My fileserver is creating too much heat inside my office, and it needs to go somewhere else. I live in south FL, (miami) and it gets very hot. However I do keep some windows open in the garage so it doesn't...

Hey all, I'm currently looking for a decent kvm switch for 3 of my linux boxes at home. I've tried 2 different Belkin kvm's and they're simply crap. Whenever I switch to any of the boxes, and wait the interval time, the mouse cursor jumps all over the place.I tried the belkin kvm's on some of...

Hey all, I'm currently setting up a fileserver which consists of 5 300GB Sata Drives in a Raid 5 array. What backup methods do you use in order to backup this much data? Backup to Dvd's would just take too long, and would be a PITA since I add new data daily. Setting up another (identical)...
