I really like Parallels, but to be fair if I had had to have paid full price for it (I got rebates when I bought my Mac) I would have likely bought Fusion, just because I am familiar with the quality product that VMWare releases.

The extra 4 pins supply power to the PCIe slots for higher end cards. Not entirely necessary if you dont have a super high end card.

I hear "Team Group" is where it's at for OC'd memory these days? I'm not into OCing, I just run Mushkin Blue .

All hype for sure. Who needs an "OS" on their damn Nic? Talk about overhead.

The obvious answer is 10k RPM raid 0 setup Or 15K U320 SCSI Radi 0 ;)

Windows 2003 Server Unleashed. /thread Get the R2 edition.. since that's most relevent I guess.

I had that crop up a week ago at the office here. I just rebooted a machine after an update.. bam! Kept fiddling with it and the drive went belly up. This may not be the case with you, but be careful.

UNPOSSIBLE! (yes, I was using improper English to be funny).

I wasn't even speaking of gnome/kde etc. Those aren't part of the default 'userland' on most installs. I'm not even talking about XFree86 or Xorg. Just all the little utilities that go into making the default install what it is. Check out the freebsd '/usr / src ' tree on FreeBSD to get...

Yet it's oh-so-wrong to 'blast chowder' on your unborn child. Just think of how traumatizing that could be.

Yes yes, pre. Sorry.

Linux isn't an OS. It's a Kernel. There in lay the problem. Meaning: Yes, the kernel has a relatively close eye kept on it. But what's comprised of the 'userland', is just a bunch of packages cobbled together. *BSD the userland and the kernel come from the same source tree. FTW.

It's an easy enough fix. Stretch it out to full size with Partition Magic or QT Parted. Windows (pre XP1 I believe) didn't address higher than 32bit LBA (127GB).

best advice in this thread. /thread

If I had to pick a fav Linux dist it would either be Slackware or Debian. I use Debian on a Sparc TI right now, and I've had a long history with Slackware in the past. My favorite "free" distribution of all time is certainly FreeBSD. However. I'd gladly run it over Debian or Slackware...
