Do you have that many power outages?

Hey Tony, nice to see you around. Is this a short stay or a long term visit?

I received the RouterStation Pro today. It's smaller than I was expecting. I will hopefully get a chance to try it out tonight.

Isn't the rival company in Office Space named Internode? Terrible name.

I think I tried Lagavulin, I couldn't finish the glass even with ample ice.

Nice description.

I didn't know that, I do now. Hopefully, nothing changes.

I like Black Label. I'm not a connoisseur by any means, but I've tried various Bourbons and Scotches (blended and single malt) and I always seem to return to Black Label. My friend has given me a couple glasses of various Islay whisky, it was terrible.

I'm using the same brick on the BEFSX41 that I was using on the WRT150N. No problems with the BEFXS41 whereas the WRT150N was locking up daily. Is that a decent test?

Thanks for the confirmation, Sol. I will try luci when I get my RouterStation Pro.

My 5 minutes of Google research showed the same thing. I have no problem working on a CLI, it's just nice to have a GUI to fall back on, especially for something I've never done before.

I ordered the RouterStation Pro Kit from eBay. I was looking into OpenWRT and it looks like there is no web interface by default. Does anyone know if it will be possible to add something like X-Wrt?

I am going to try to get one from a broken laptop. If that fails I'll order one. Thanks for the hand holding.

The only mini PCI nic that Newegg sells is the TP-LINK TL-WN861N. I've never heard of this brand before. Does anyone have a better place to look?

I can't tell if the RouterStation Pro supports mini-PCI Express or not. If it does, will the Intel 622AN.HMWWB Mini PCI Express work?

These are kind of expensive. Anything cheaper? I don't really care that much about wireless in my office right now, but might want to get something in the future. I guess I could always just buy another cheap AP.

I looked for one, but couldn't figure out what to buy. Any advice?

Here's a Ubiquiti RouterStation Pro Kit on eBay. Would this work for my needs? I like the pro better because it has gigibit NICs.

I think I want to avoid Linksys from this point forward, their products leave a bad taste in my mouth. You're right about the Jetway system, it's too big for my office and too expensive. The power isn't that big of a deal. I estimate that the Jetway system would cost $14/year to run at 8 cents...

The Ubiquiti options look promising. Is there anyone that sells completed kits based on the RouterStation or RouterStation Pro? I did some quick Google searches but don't find much.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, I'll try Smoothwall if I go down the build my own route. I don't have a server. I have a HTPC, a desktop, a couple laptops, and a couple Android phones. I don't think my desktop is the right place to run a router. I don't want a computer I use daily and screw...

Some background: I bought a Linksys WRT150N a couple years ago. It worked alright until a couple weeks ago when it started locking up daily and driving me crazy. I reset it to factory, but the problems persisted. I replaced it with a Linksys BEFSX41 (v. 1) that is 7 years old. It doesn't lock...

Can you even use Samba as a replacement for AD/Domain Controller with Windows clients?

Slightly OT, but, when you setup an office without Exchange do you still use Active Directory?

If you forget your passwords or credit card numbers, you just call Samsung and they will give them to you.

It's machine translated from French.

I doubt I will go back to Windows. I find Linux to just work a lot better than Windows. Plus, I like how much it costs.

Firefox 3.6 never really performed well on any Linux distro in my experience; much worse performance compared with Windows on comparable hardware. However, FF4's Linux performance actually seems to be on par with the Windows version from what I can tell. Just thought I'd mention it, as it makes...

Try the Add-on Compatibility Reporter. It's an extension that allows you to enable non-supported extensions. My non-supported extensions work fine after I enabled them.

That was in 3.6 and earlier versions as well. I don't remember if it was called the same thing or not.

Slow day today too. Are you feeling better Lunar?

In FF4 or another browser?

Maybe OpenFiler has a better standard Samba configuration than OpenSuse. I'm not a Samba expert, nor did I want to waste the time fiddling with the settings. I wonder if OpenFiler uses standard Samba or if they modify it?

The Firefox 4 Download Stats map had me transfixed for about 10 minutes: http://glow.mozilla.org/

I ran a few timed tests to actually get real numbers rather than just eyeballing the copy dialog in KDE. I ran the tests exactly the same was as in the first post in this thread. The Windows box is now referred to as the HTPC and the Linux box is now the Desktop. The file is ~4476MB if anyone...

I was having trouble with NFS4 locking up my desktop when transferring files. I found similar problems that others were having with no real solution. I decided to order a real NIC rather than screwing around with the crappy onboard Realtek 8111B trying to get it to work. I ordered an Intel...

I read the AnandTech article about this awhile back as well as some others. As I remember it the Intel drives (X80) performed the best when full or when any write operation would need to do an erase first. I believe that article was written before the Sandforce 1200 or 1500 controller were released.

You were running a 3 drive RAID 0?

What is wrong with the Intel SSDs? I thought they had a good reputation? Maybe I'm out of the loop on this.

There's upsides and downsides to anything. Upside: 60MB/s transfer rate, downside: xorg.conf. For now, I have given up on trying to force a custom resolution and have just increased the font sizes to be readable at 1920x1080. Firefox also does a good job of scaling websites when zooming in.

How about booting from a Linux live image and testing the drive that way?

I've tried everything possible to get the display to run at the resolution I want (1440x810) with no luck. This should not be that difficult to achieve, as it worked fine in Windows.

Here's another guide from the Ubuntu forums that looks decent: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=83973

HDMI. I've already tried adding the resolution I want (1440x810) to xorg.conf, but no luck. Here's an article that explains how to add a custom resolution: http://sathyasays.com/2008/10/26/how-to-tackle-screen-resolution-problems-in-linux/ I'll try this tonight.

I decided to scrap Windows and installed OpenSuse on my HTPC. I now am able to transfer files over NFS at around 60 MB/s. Thanks for all the help. Now to figure out why I can't run a non-standard resolution with nvidia-settings.

Make sure the system is not powered on.

I categorize it as a big box store. Other examples are Target (slightly nicer), K-mart, and Costco.

Once every year or two. I took off a day when I had a cold a few months ago. I took off about 3 days a few years ago when I had food poisoning.
