Well, this is a simple issue.
When you check 3D support in Vbox, with the VirtualGuestTools that
need to be compiled inside the guest, should simply be recompiled when
3D is checked. DO NOT check 2D as that seems a windows only thing.
Another cause is how much RAM you allocate to your video hardw
Hi Craig, not sure how simple "simple" is :-) and I'm assuming Debian
is OK when you say "Linux".
I found this site very helpful when I had my slug/NSLU2:

Do you have any simple instructions on how to install Linux onto the QNAP t209.
I just want to run it as a Linux server (my own secure drop box) for clients?
Cheers

Tony,
Replacing the fans was a very easy job. The ones used are just ordinary
PC case fans.
I don't know how much power the devices use but the disks spin down
after a time (user configurable)
I agree with you about the CPU & Ram in the QNAP device. They do seem to
be a bit better spceed than

I use TWO different NAS and neither of them are Drobo's.
My favourite is the QNAP T209. This is a 2 drive unit that sits out in
my garage.
I have two 1Tb drives in Raid 1. Underneath, the device runs Linux and
can support even MySql & PHP. I chose to use Raid 1 as the drives are
formatted ext3

RAID-5 works well for the sort of size of array you're going to get in a
domestic situation.

Hi,
We have a 48TB Avid ISIS that does a similar thing (but with blades consisting
of a linux board and 2 drives). You can't use different sized random drives but
if a blade fails the data is spread randomly rather than being striped in the
conventional sense so the rebuild is distributed and n

Hi all
I saw a review of this [1] sort of black box RAID array on Click [2] last week
and in truth it's just what I'm looking for as a NAS - currently have several
drives via a NSLU2 but making a backup of 100Gb+ takes ages. However at £430
odd quid for the array and another £190 for the abili
