Doh. I didn't really like that url anyway, actually. Seemed like a stupid way to do it. You should be able to just right click on the menu and edit it. It is possible to modify the individual icons this way, this helps a bit.
Well, I guess I better familiarize myself with the config files... Happen to know where they are? I never did find them, but haven't looked very hard.
Actually, I used my little NAT box on large, "enterprise" LAN, because the administrators weren't able to handle the infections in a timely manner, and I had to get work done.
So there ya go, my solution scales to the big company as well. I concede it would be a pain if I had to rollout dozens or hundreds of machines.
Of course, if you are installing that many, doing it one at a time with a bunch of install cd's would be a huge waste of time, as well.;)
I've installed multiple versions of windows behind my little NAT box hundreds of times (part of my previous job), and it blocked everything from a known multi-infected network.
If you have infected machines behind your little 4 port NAT, then you have bigger problems, and better to wipe or clean the computers and start over.
Your solution is fine for a large scale rollout. I thought this thread was not really about sysadmins though, it was about home users. They are not typically ones downloading patches beforehand, using autoinstallers, and making partition images, just to save time on a single install.
A little NAT box brings peace of mind whether at home or at a small business.
Sure, gaming is part of their market. Although, not all gamers move the computer either. The sff is simply a step in the middle between the tiny limited computer and a big accessible refrigerator sized case. It's just another option.
I've worked with all of the above and like the sff for it's combination of power and size. From the sound of the article, it looks like they have dealt with the heat issues this time around.
I personally like the computer on the desk because I hate crawling under the it showin my butt crack like in the old days of computers... I'm getting too old for that.
This thing rocks... flash card reader, usb2, firewire ports where I can reach 'em without bending, and a kickass 64 bit processor. I wish they didn't even include the serial and ps/2, but it doesn't hurt that much.
I used to go there all the time when I was between apartments... The restaurant/wifi is great, but be prepared to spend a lot of cash $$$.
Even in a generally cheap area like Palmdale, CA they still wanted like $6 or 7 bucks for a sandwich, and 4 or 5 for a tiny bowl of soup. It is impossible to get a decent amount of food, unless you are an anorexic waif, for less than 10 bucks, not including drink.
Throw in a 4 dollar crappachino, and yer looking at close to $15. After a few visits, I began to just buy the minimum 1.50 cup of coffee, so as not to feel like a leech.
However I would have bought a lot more, and they'd make more money, if they cut their prices about 30 or 40 percent.

A few days ago I realized you can double click on the empty tab space and open up a new blank tab in Firefox.... it's great. Ctrl+T too.
Give it a try!

nah, you can use the applications:// url in nautilus too.
I don't find it particularly intuitive, but its better than nothing.
I believe grub can be booted from cd....
Check out the Ubuntu live cd to check it out. That's where I saw it.

I agree with you, but you should have SP2, it's worth it.
I've never had any issues with my Windows box either, because I kept it locked down in the first place. It's not luck, it's logical.
why make it so difficult?
Install behind a nice little NAT box/cable router. They're only 50 bucks now and solve all these headaches.
Then you install SP2 from cd, and get your patches from windows update, shutdown all the useless services and you are locked down pretty tight.
You must be new here. ;)
prolly the strong euro lets them buy things in brazil for 1/4 the price.
Hi,
what do they use for hardware autodetection...? The same kudzu package used on knoppix, etc? Just wondering if they are doing something better.

It's a great time to be alive computing-wise.
just a thought .... maybe not everyone is a gamer. Maybe they don't want their desk taken over by a big, bulky box. ;)

You know, it only takes about 2 seconds to check your settings page, and find your old posts. :)

under the hood, yes, but the interface was much nicer
They got "direct tv latin america" down here in south america.
Lotus Notes was the first, and still popular mail,calendar,pim app.
havent you seen the origin? or various cray's over the years? They look great in neon. ;)

Installing clean and then updating from behind a NAT works fine. Most home users should have one anyway. :)
You sir, are a geek. Or am I too??? seeing as I understand the reference.
