Re: [brlug-general] OS Poll Time.

[James Kuhns]

Basically it's a software based NAS implemented with a modified RAID 4
(striping removed) system.

- Slackware based - relatively low hardware requirements
- Drive types do not have to match - mix and match SATA and PATA
- Drive sizes do not have to be the same - as long as the biggest is made
the parity drive
- Boots off of a USB stick - allowing all drives to be part of the array
(wish it would allow CD boots though)
- 1 drive fault tolerance - but you don't lose all of the data if you lose
more than 1 drive (see next point)
- Each disc has a standalone ext2 file system on it - if you lose 2 drives,
the array is gone but the data on the remaining drives is still accessible
- Can quickly expand by just adding drives (no need to restripe - just
recompute the parity)
- Only spins up needed drives
- Write speed is ok - not really critical for a media server (once the
data's on there you tend not to write to it again)
- Read speed is on par with 5 or 6 (sometimes better if multiple reads are
being made to drives on different controllers)

I was skeptical of a software based raid system, but decided to try it after
I lost about 2 TB of dvd rips (yes, I own the physical discs) due to a flaky
RAID 5 card (it mistimed a series of writes at the very worst possible time
- destroyed an NTFS volume).  After using it for about 8 months now (using
the flaky RAID 5 card running in JBOD mode and the SATA connectors on the
MOBO), I swear by it when used for what it was intended for - I wouldn't
want to run a mission critical high write database on it.  I've only had one
hiccup with it and it was hardware based (two drives overheated from a
faulty cooling fan I didn't notice until it was too late, one was the parity
drive) - I was able to replace the faulty drives and build a new array using
the remaining good drives (only lost the data off the one bad non-parity
drive).

Re: [brlug-general] OS Poll Time.

[James Kuhns]

Giving home and work choices only is a bit limiting...

main home/work machine (same machine - nice to work from home) - Vista with
VM sessions for XP, Windows Server 2000, and Windows Server 2003 (depending
on what environment I have to dev for - I work for a Microsoft shop)

servers (at home): Windows Server 2003 (domain), Windows Server 2000
(running various VM sessions of 2000/2003 - again depending on current dev),
debian (dns, http, smtp, etc. - basically everything that keeps my network
running)

media network: 1 unRAID server (based on slackware) holding my media, 1 XP
machine holding the database/index for my media, 2 Vista clients for
viewing/listening to media (via TVs)

Re: [brlug-general] OS Poll Time.

[Ryan Burychka]

I've been using Vista for over a month.  Much to the dismay of my friends
and co-workers, I really like it.  UAC is off - I couldn't bear to have it
on.  I have no driver problems.  I have no trouble running any program I
need.  There are a lot of improvements over XP, but sometimes it takes a
while to find the same functionality that XP provides.  I believe most of
the kinks have been worked out and I feel that most of the current hate of
Vista is mental rather than actual.  To all those who still hate, I
recommend trying it for a few weeks.

You need to judge Vista by it's dissasters and lack of freedom not by it's day 
to day operation.  A few days of Vista use is like smoking a pack of 
cigarettes.  Smokers are oblivious to their own smell, the massive marketing 
forces deployed against them and the depth of misery they face down the road.  
Sooner or later every Windows user faces massive loss of data from file 
system corruption or malware.  The loss of SPDIF or the ability to record 
American Gladiators is trivial, but DRM taken to its logical limit is fatal 
to democracy and rule of law.

Re: [brlug-general] OS Poll Time.

[Dustin Puryear]

Come to think of it, my home computer uses Vista. My laptop runs XP.
Personally, I like Vista. UAC is enabled but it only pops up now and
then when a program tries to install, etc. Doesn't really bother me.
Also, the look&feel is very nice.

I can imagine it would be a dog on older hardware, but I have a
relatively new PC and it runs like a champ.

Re: [brlug-general] OS Poll Time.

[Karthik Poobal]

I am seeing more and more OS X these days. I wonder if that has  
anything to do with vista. Honestly, I have used Vista Business couple  
of times and I am not sure if its as bad as people say it is. Once I  
turned UAC off it was more or less like XP.

So who's going to do the poll?

Twentieth century, film based based movie reference.  Something that we all 
remember due to the centralized nature of film production.  That centralized 
nature is reflected in the MPAA stamp on the fast majority of films we are 
familiar with.  You referenced Forrest Gump.  I referenced Animal House.

I'm liking my iPhone, especially with 2.0 firmware. I've got push/pull 
contacts/email/calendar with Zimbra, and it's amazing. I can use the 
iPhone take a photo of someone for their phone book entry, and watch as

Yes...
I have that iPhoney too, but I find it sooo paperweight with sexy 
UI. Extremely crippled thingy Luckily I did not have to pay for it.
Now, after upgrading to the firmware 2.x.x, the mail application crashes 
every time.  Apple seems to care none, which is their normal 
policy.  So  I need to pwn it to be able to fix the mail app. "Hackers" 
have posted instructions to the fix about 1.5 months ago...   
Unfortunately there is no Linux based pwn tool, and trying to connect 
and manage the phoney via windows in virtual machine simply does not 
work. (Its detected and that's all, no real connection can be established.)

Re: [brlug-general] OS Poll Time.

[Petri Laihonen]

It is ThinkPad Z60t (Probably one of the last models before changing the 
sticker into Lenovo)

Internal wifi is well supported Atheros Chipset, however I suspect the 
IBM signature in it screwed up some things. For instance when I tried 
with Ubuntu 8.10, and many other distros within the past few years, I 
can see all the wireless networks, but not connect to them. (encrypted 
or not, made no difference)

And yes, one can replace the built in wireless. I already considered 
replacing the built in wireless with intel wifi (some models come with 
intel by default), but then I tried Mandriva 2008, and Voila.  
Everything worked out of the box. Overall, I have been quite satisfied 
with Mandriva. Especially since I know, the perfect distro for me does 
not exist yet.

Oh no, what kind of thinkpad is that?  Can you replace the wireless?  I've 
gotten so used to built in wifi that I'd hate to go back to pcimcia or 
similar.

I use Debian for it's freedom and will avoid a laptop that won't work with 
free software.  It's easier for me and rewards good hardware companies.

In that case for me All counts, Mandriva Linux.

works correctly)

Laptop is the Primary Desktop for me, and at home all desktop computers 
run same distro..

I'm intersted in what people look at most.  Most people have a primary 
computer at home and work.  Your laptop can be your primary desktop if you 
like.  I'm was not interested in servers and other utility boxes but that's a 
good thing to ask about too.
