    Any decent priced NAS units for home users?

    you dont have any PC133 laying around? ..ouch, the price of PC133 has gone up since I last checked... a friend of mine gave me 128MB or so just for the hell of it not that long ago.... hmm... if you want, you can look at the shuttle barebones systems... sv25 goes for $189 on mwave.com ...

    Webmin Security Hole - Update Available

    Thanks for being on the lookout Dozer. I actually have 1.060 on my mandrake 9.0 box (9.1 comes with thenewest version) However, I keep my servers firewalled and there is no outside webmin access... additionally I have setup webmin to only accept connections from the computer it's running on...

    oh yes.. RAID... linux supports software RAID... infact i think that box on ebay used Linux software RAID on a stanard IDE controller... I think webmin has the ability to let you setup and control software RAID arrays as well...

    you could always install webmin.... great web interface to do about anything... if you have ssh setup you can telnet to your box and do anything you can do from command line reletively easily. and if you want to get VNC working you can use X windows.... however, that adds a bit more to...

    Any decent priced NAS units for home users?

    well, once you have it setup there is obviously no need for a monitor, keyboard, etc... turn it on and in a minute you have remote storage.. just like you say.

    I saw a couple vulnerablities for that server, however they only apply to people who already have accounts on your machine... and remote users couldn't do anything that they would not normally be able to do with a shell account. ...I'm not worried about being hacked by people I have already...

    2 Nforce2 or ¬ 2 Nforce2

    As far as I know the shuttle problem is something they mucked up in the BIOS/firmware... they have set the board to save certain settings even through a CMOS clear... so people who are overclocking, etc... can't reboot if they muck something up... the problem is solved by holding down the insert...

    Old news - VIA KT400A confirmed

    The difference is that IBM has proven their chips can have excellent FPU performance. ECS has not proven that they have impecable quality... quite the contrary, they have shown that they have middling or mixed quality. I've asked several shops about ECS(shops that sold ECS), none of them place...

    These problems aren't nForce2 problems, they are problems with the BIOSs of a few boards. The title of that article is totally rediculous.

    I'm redesigning my home network.

    i know mac's can be spoofed, sometimes very easily.. however, if your network is set to allow only certain MACs to connect, how can somebody tell the MAC of your NIC card? Is it somewhere in the information your computer is sending/recieving? I know some protocols, such as netBEUI work via MAC...

    Dual Port Server NIC

    you're right, that does look odd... like the card would extend past where the screw holds the card in place.... not to mention the other side of the slot back which will likely prevent the card from being inserted into the PCI slot... but you can make it fit, right?

    [NEWS] - Nvidia Nforce 2 may have serious problems

    lol, i like that "the 'undocumented' insert key feature" comment that someone left... i think that's been standard since kt133 days... shuttle wasn't too bright by saving settings through a CMOS clear, however their users are obviously having problems of their own.

    actually, I was thinking the TV wonder can only capture in software or possibly hardware mpg1.... but not hardware AVI or MPG2... (mpg2 has always been a sore spot for this card) however, through the MMC software you can cap to windows media, AVI, mpg1, or mpg2... I think mpg2 capture might be...

    Mini-review: Sapphire Radeon 9000 VIVO

    i'd say either. 2D Clarity should be similar. I believe all these cards use a unified type drver (catalyst vs detonator)... so drivers are easy... If i had the choice between two comparable cads...an ATi made card for the same price as a no-name nVidia, then i'd probably go for the ATi...

    why dont you just get a new mini-ITX barebones system for $200 and install mandrake 9.0 with samba and webmin? You could probably cram 2 or 3 5400RPM drives in the case... plus the system could be used for other things... you can even hook it to your TV...
