Interesting. I have only ever owned one SSD which was a couple of
years back: an OCZ Petrol 40G (but used from eBay). It seems to work
OK for a few weeks and then suddenly died. Fro

I'm thinking of buying an SSD for my Dell Inspiron 6400 when Debian
Wheezy becomes stable and to benefit from fast bootup.
The laptop is 2006 vintage and has a "spinning rust" SATA drive. Can I
just use any SSD SATA laptop drive as a drop-in replacement or do I
have to be careful about particular
Hi Craig, not sure how simple "simple" is :-) and I'm assuming Debian
is OK when you say "Linux".
I found this site very helpful when I had my slug/NSLU2:

Hey All,
I'm having a spot of bother getting 3D hardware acceleration and
Compiz working in my Debian Squeeze Virtualbox guest. Whatever I try
it defaults to software rendering. I have obvious things set such as
"3D acceleration" checked in the guest settings (Display > Video >
Extended Features).

I think Tony might have meant my talk which I did years ago? There was

Are you on the TPS[0] Roger? I did so some years back and it
dramatically reduced the cold calls I got via landline.
I have heard some unscrupulous companies do not comply with it but it
is better than nothing.

I use Avast Free which I've been running for the last few years. The
only annoyance is the "scanning completed" alerts which you can turn
off and you have to re-register the licence annually (takes a minute).
I switched from AVG free as it was becoming more of a resource hog.
I also use the inbuil
Thanks Anton for that welcome injection of anti-tinfoil hat serum :-)
I don't use Ubuntu but would have no problem with the shopping lens
stuff. As I understand it Canonical Ltd is expanding quickly and so
they need to think about income because - shock, horror - they are a
business and have wages
Hi All,
I've recently become aware of this "CoderDojo" thing from an article
in the Guardian [0]
It got me thinking on how great it would be if Southampton had one of
these. I have been reading the website and "Getting started" guide [1]
and it all looks doable.

Hi Rob,
What Andy said pretty much.
My 2p on a few things:
1. Go for some good branded SATAs that give you good £/G. When I was a
sysadmin I would choose SAS for their performance and lower failure rate
(MTBF) when building pizza box servers - you don't need that robustness for
a media server.
