Update: After one day of service, they appear to have uncapped my download speed. I'm now consistently getting 1200/248. That's what I got in my kit, which arrived last night. My service wasn't supposed to be up until today, but I plugged the modem in, got synch, ands was able to register...

I'm close to switching to this plan, but have a few questions. 1. I was curious what domain is used for sbc-yahoo email addresses. Will I be user@sbc.net? user@sbc-yahoo.com? 2. The SBC DSL service comes with 'nationwide dialup access', but it's not clear whether they have a dial up network...

Online Link I bought one online, one in the store. I probably have 500+ Fuji's sitting in a drawer, but I can't pass up deals like this. Kit

Thanks for the patient replies, it makes perfect sense. I actually have been reading man pages, but the number of options available for each command is a little daunting. Cheers. Kit

Thanks, I do have it defined in smb.conf. My question was whether defining the share in smb.conf actually mounts the share, or whether it has to be mounted in a separate (prior) operation for smb.conf to be able to see it. The partition is empty, so based on the advice above, I'll just start...

mjquilly/Workin' - I ended up creating an ext2 partition, which mounts fine. Followup Q: To make this disk a valid smb share (viewable by other nodes ont he network), do I need to explicitly mount it first (using the mount command), or does smbd do the mount for me? I believe I have a valid...

Please excuse my noobieness. I'm building a Linux box (RH 8.0) that I intend to use to serve SMB shares to a small internal network of Windows PC's and MP3 clients (SliMP3s). The share is on a 180GB disk, and I want this to be mountable on the server, and viewable to all clients. Does it...

Thanks for the deal, got one.

I don't think this is an OS or Bios issue. The Tivo hardware does not support addressing beyond 137 GB.

1. SliMP3 http://www.slimdevices.com/index.html Like the HP, it has analog output only. Wired 10 Mps Ethernet, but works with a Wi-fi bridge. Web-based server software required, but it is open source and works in Mac/Windows/Linux. Great display and form factor. Integrates very well with...

I got the last one in San Diego. It is 2 separate rebates ($100 + $20), and the retail package includes an ATA 133 controller. Total cost was $219 + tax - $120 = $116 = 0.644/gig Kit

From the nm-slect.com website, here's their policy on bad pixels: "Q: What are dead pixels in LCD displays? A: The manufacturing process for LCD displays requires millions of transistors in each panel. Limitations of the manufacturing process sometimes result in dead pixels. A "dead...

Thanks, I picked up a black one for the Linux server in my garage. Kit

Anyone know if the full capacity of theWD 175GB drive will be available if I use a standard ATA/133 controller rather than the provided Promise Ultra 100 TX2 card? I searched the WD and Promise support areas, and drew a blank.

I also just built a Linux box, which I'll be using as a Samba server for MP3s. Initially, I downloaded both Mandrake 9.0 and RH 8.0, and based on feedback from others I installed Mandrake first. I used it for about a week to set up my network and get my feet wet, but decided to install RH...
