Normally, to do two commands you would use the operator:
cd /usr echo I got to /usr
When using , the second command will only run if the first one
succeeds. For example:
der...@dereks-laptop:~$ cd /does-not-exist echo Huh?
bash: cd: /does-not-exist: No such file or directory

I have this exact same setup running right now. It's relatively

Ubuntu 10.04 ships with a video editor called Pitivi, as a
competitor to i-Movie.
I am sorely disappointed in Pitivi. I haven't played with it very
much, because apparently you can't do simple things like add titles,
cross-fades, or any other basic transitions besides a hard cut.
The strange blinkenlights, plus recent case swap, make it sound
like a hardware problem.
Check all cables, reseat all cards, check for cracks in the mobo,
check the bus mountings (esp. that USB with the intermittent power
loss). Check that the new case has sufficient cooling and that

It may be worth the money to get an external drive enclosure, like
a USB or Firewire box. Newegg has some for under $30, and Fry's carries
them too. Search for drive enclosure.
Then you can just plug in your old hard drives (and re-use them)

I have a client to needs to take a lot of data (many TB) and

would be for this.)
The trick is that we want two identical copies (one on-site, one

haven't tried.)

Ubuntu will do what you want.
I use the full-disk encryption from the Ubuntu installer
(dm-crypt). I use it on 100% of my computers, incl. all my VM servers,
my netbook, and my MythTV box.
The Ubuntu installer situation is the

There are no downsides I am aware of. It just lets run VMs run
much faster than without it.
I don't know why they made it a BIOS option, rather than 'always on'.

For most people, this is not true. I'd guess that VT-d (aka IOMMU)
is used by less than 1% of users. IOMMU is not used for disk, network,

It's far more complex than any other filesystem I've worked with.
It's the only one that requires a special log partition, a special
