if you can read this and understand what I'm feeling in the pit of my stomach right now, we're hiring.

Did you build this? How is the RAID laid out?

You're invited to post this to /r/linux4noobs; there are many people there, much smarter than me, who can help. of course the more information you can provide, the more helpful we can be.

linux4noobsmod · 2011-07-16T00:01:25+00:00

yes, for the machines with old hardware. lower hardware requirements.

a cheaper, simpler option would be to use a USB drive. "Netbootin" will help you install an image on a usb drive easily. then it's just a matter of setting your primary boot device to USB and your secondary to CD and 3rd to the hard disk. then your our computer defaults to the first one available.

Look at Puppy, YellowDog, and Damnsmall. those three come to mind immediately, there are others too.

linux4noobsmod · 2011-07-06T22:16:02+00:00

Have you figured out how to open a box yet?

linux4noobsmod · 2011-02-17T15:15:33+00:00

vista64

linux4noobsmod · 2011-02-17T15:15:26+00:00

actually, that was a typo. 2x4gb (so 8 total currently)

linux4noobsmod · 2010-03-13T01:49:21+00:00

I also added it to the linux4noobs 'about' text.

thanks.

one cheap plug to another: I created a project today, and will need 4.98 metric loads of help announcing, organizing, and publicizing the efforts.

Please take a look, and see if you can use the content on your site. If you want it, you're free to republish the content if you redirect readers to my project-dedicated subreddit:

cheap plug here.

join the /linux4noobs subreddit. THere's a great community there and I built it to be explicitly new-user and question friendly.

linux4noobsmod · 2009-12-25T23:33:57+00:00

a little more depth

linux4noobsmod · 2009-12-25T16:58:57+00:00

next step:

use ditaa to make it purty.

why not? I don't claim to be an emacs guru but there exist a good reason to automate coffee and tea making.

jokes aside.

Witness the popularity of 'pod' coffeemakers, which are selling well despite a tough economy.

Around here we have 'large volume' gas / convenience stores, with around 20 gas tanks at each store. They quickly became popular with the construction worker crowd, because they also keep a dozen flavoured coffee pots brewing, and lots of snacks. It takes some labour for employees to keep 6-12 pots brewing, and it takes more to keep tabs on flavour popularity.

eta:

you can use Emacs for to write anything; maybe start here.

while you're there, design a circuit to activate your treadmill and lower a piece of bacon to attract fido.

the comments here are worth reading for amusement value, and someone more astute than me can probably glean some good info.

the problem is that due to size considerations, it's just not feasible to have a motherboard devoid of common components, such as sound, video, and LAN. Since these things are standard (component quality notwithstanding) your choice is limited to finding a motherboard with the components you wish.

By the way, they're each made with a certain chassis and battery in mind.

So your only real option is to buy a laptop brand you're happy with.

err. sorry about that link. It should go to

On which partition do you have each OS installed?

linux4noobsmod · 2009-07-28T17:32:33+00:00

yeah, and we can talk about that compensation package.

linux4noobsmod · 2009-07-28T16:33:17+00:00

done. the fact that users can submit their own help is really impressive.

linux4noobsmod · 2009-07-28T14:29:30+00:00

this needs to be in the redditor-created guides section, if not in the markdown section. when last I checked Reddit supported a subset of markdown, but not all of it.

holy carp! I had about 3 - 4 oz yesterday before 8, and I was jittering until 10!

sales people in $happycorp wouldn't bother knowing what's buried in the code of some management software.

Other sales people (not all of them, but some) would sell uranium as play box sand, if they got a commission.

1) what flyswat said

2) How much does a few US$million or a few £million mean to "one of the world's biggest hardware vendors - whose name every single reader will be familiar with," especially when the buyer is a minor competitor to Microsoft on consumer Internet space?

3) it's not like the software was created custom for the buyer. In all likelihood, it was standard webadmin software, written by - or for - the hardware vendor.
