    NAS + File + Print Server, what's the easiest way?

    Another vote for Ubuntu server here, with a twist though... Check out Webmin (http://www.webmin.com). It's a web-based interface for *nix systems that'll greatly ease your Samba administration. I throw it on a server box with no GUI and it helps tremendously.

    Any Microsoft, CompTIA or Cisco Practice Exam + Voucher only $99

    I think it's normally $125 for MS tests, but yeah, you can get vouchers for 20% pretty easily. I'm in for one though, $89 isn't bad. You've got to fill out a form and wait 4 to 6 weeks for processing to get a PrepLogic credit towards the amount they charge for their vouchers, so beware if you're...

    Bootable USB drive

    Check out the Ultimate Boot CD for Windows (UBCD4WIN) www.ubcd4win.com. This can be built and then put on a USB drive using the included PE2USB file and some 2003 Server SP1 files (you can download the SP from Microsoft and pull the files out yourself). VERY handy tool. I use this at work all...

    So what Google apps do you all use?

    Same here, search and Gmail, but with a twist as google hosts my email for my domain. So all my mydomain.com email uses the gmail interface.

    Xbox 360 networking through PC

    I'm going wireless to a pc, then wired (via crossover) from that pc to another using this method (ICS). I've found it much more reliable than setting up a bridged connection, though that did work at times. Going into your 360 should work exactly the same as a pc. The only change from this is...

    How can i set up something that would allow somone else to download a file from me?

    I've used AIM to send CDs to my brother, it transfers as fast as anything else (FTP, Webserver, Etc...) that I've got set up, granted I've only got a 1 Mbit line. The nice thing is that there's no setup.

    Yep, I actually ordered mine from there about an hour before this thread went up. Haven't got mine yet though (West Central Ohio). I got another wireless controller and Pre-ordered NCAA 07 both at 10% off too. Only $2 and some odd change for shipping and no tax, pretty nice.

    Lexar 2 GB Jump Drive SecureII USB2.0 Drive $79.99 AR w/free ship

    Got one of these on BF from CC... Drive works well and has decent speed, but gets scratched up easy and the paint wears off on a keychain in your pocket. Keyring attaches to the cap, but seems pretty sturdy.

    So I've got a phone interview with a corporate IT person for an IT Admin. position tomorrow (5/20). I've been with the company 4 years, two of which while still in college, thus no "real" experience, but I do hold my A+, Net+, and 2003 MCSA (yes, I know certs are worthless w/o experience). I've...
