Re: [H] ubuntu NTFS?
Winterlight, I don't believe that EXT4 / EXT3 / EXT2 /etc. is NTFS. It is some disk format that IS compatible with several flavors of linux (as I read my Netgear/Infrant forum pages). I know that my NAS is SPARC-based, but it does use some flavor of linux as its' OS. The gurus tell us NOT to format external storage/backup drives with NTFS because it is dog slow for backup duties (on-board backup app and RSYNC). I'm told to format my drives as FAT/FAT32 (ok), or EXT3. I'm not up to speed on EXT4 yet, however. Besides, my NAS can not do EXT4 anyway. I think the choice between FAT or EXT3 involves hard drive partition sizes. Still reading. Best, Duncan Winterlight wrote: I assume Ext4 is the latest NTFS driver? I don't know if it or Ext3 is ok or safe. That is what I am asking, and yes I do have data on those disks I want to keep = media storage. I am not going to stream at this time but I may do playback if I can get TV out to work. Mostly I am planning on storing stuff I don't access very often, about 3TB but I do not want to loose it. At 04:03 AM 11/28/2009, you wrote: What's wrong with Ext4? Do you have data on those disks you want to save? Isn't Ext4 supposed to be much faster and boot the system more quickly? Haven't used it myself but thinking about it as I have a copy of 9.10. Winterlight wrote: I plan on putting together a PC from old parts, dual Xeon, 4GB of DDR, ATI 1950Pro, to stick all my extra hard SATA drives in. I am not doing RAID. Each individual drive is partitioned as a Logical NTFS.I don't want to deal with licensing issues so I thought I would run Windows 2000...except it doesn't support HT but then I thought this would be a good time to use Ubuntu 9.01. I know it can read NTFS and there is a driver to let it write to NTFS, but how safe, and reliable is this... do I have to worry about Data corruption?
Re: [H] Max connections on a router?
My router will let me set the number of connections. In Advanced/system settings on the router itself. Configure number of concurrent users that can be logged into the router: I picked 10. Rick Glazier From: Brian Weeden Is this normal for a consumer device, or does it seem this Buffalo router is sub-par? I've got an airport extreme at home and the max devices I've had connected at once is 5 or 6 with no problem.

Re: [H] Max connections on a router?
Verizon FIOS, Actiontec M1424-WR Rev.C One piece optical unit IN basement, (nothing outside house), then coax to actual router upstairs. Knowing it was an ISP model, I never thought the model number would help. (Sorry you had to ask.) In less than 2 years, I had an older model, AND a newer model. (I forced Verizon to support WPA2-PSK.) Verizon says they don't hold up. I'm thinking of putting the next one on its own UPS (upstairs). The basement unit has a built-in UPS, but only for itself.

[H] Cyber Monday deals
I am in need of a new digital imaging workstation. I want to avoid AMD (last several machines have been AMD and each has had their own quirks which I would like to avoid) and am looking for the best/latest Intel chip. Hoping to find a good deal on Cyber Monday but I am not familar enough with Intel's offerings to know a good deal if I see it. If anyone has any recommendations or can steer me towards a good deal I would really appreciate it. I am looking at building/buying the whole PC so I would be interested in complete PC's or parts. Primarliy I am looking for some help with the Motherboard/CPU. :-) Thanks! -- Gary http://www.twigsandtracks.com Twigs snap and tracks fade, a photograph reacquaints

Re: [H] XP VM (was Re: Laptop processor)
Gotcha, thanks Tim. I have to say, I've been really impressed with VirtualBox! My usage has been minimal (played through Myst and Riven in a Win98 virtualbox!) but it's worked very well. I also like Parallels Desktop for Mac, but am getting tired of the upgrade train! Had to upgrade to version 4.0 when Snow Leopard came out, and now there's a version 5.0 out.
