I adopted SUSE back in the 8.x days because the only spare computer I had was an old laptop. I tried dozens of linux versions and only SUSE reliabley detected hardware and allowed me to use the wireless card. OpenSUSE still has better hardware detection then any other linux distribution. For awhile I switched to Ubuntu because some sofware was packaged for debian and not for suse, but the Suse has been closing that gap agressivley. Suse Studio is also one of the most amazing products. I will be starting my torrent later tonight.
Since Linux is not much of a virus target, it should be fine running an older version. There is also much less cost to upgrade a Linux machine, since you aren't dropping $100 on the license. My wife and kids computers all run Opensuse with no problems. Yast makes a huge difference for people who are not super technical.
Hilariously wrong is right. I got this text a couple days ago it turns out the person was answering an ad I had on craigslist to buy an old video card. They did have a sort of southern accent and a rough voice. The end the's appear to be a telephone tone, like if you leave a phone off the hook, not sure what's going on there...:

amen, I've seen too many shops that buy the latest shiny. They have a room full of old shiny's. Or they buy cutting edge and take a year to get it deployed properly. Meanwhile the price has dropped significantly, or better options have come out.
Unless you have a secondary person on your safe deposit box, they usually have to go through probate before they can be accessed.
Use truecrypt, with multi-user shared access. Give two people separate key files and passwords so they both need to be present to open the keepass volume. (or more then 2)
Makes sense, the up front cost for the drive is painful, and would create a single point of failure on my budget. I only have a terabyte or so of data. I use a pelican style case to transport hard drives and have never had a problem.
I would consider filling the other 36TB, buying a spare 36TB and rotating them periodically. I would script them to mount before backup so they aren't spinning when they aren't in use. I personally do my backups weekly since my data doesn't change. If I throw some new pics on the server, I will kick it off manually.
I would like to comment on the technical merits. I am impressed. You are definitely large enough that tapes start to make sense, however, I'm on the fence about tapes vs. disk on a cost / recovery time analysis. How many tapes are you currently using? Have you looked at the rsync hard-linking solutions you can use with disk? You could have 20 x 2TB disks and probably maintain a complete backup set w/ incrementals. You would ideally need 2 sets of 20 to rotate off-site, but I think that would be competitive with your tape solution from a cost perspective and it would blow it away when you consider backup and restore time.
Care to discuss? I agree that RAID is a waste for most people and introduces an unnecessary point of failure.
The real problem is the way the produce billing. Say they need a toolkit for a specific plane. They get the specs for space and everything. Someone specs out and tests each component of the toolkit. The time and materials comes out to $6k, for a 10 piece tool kit, ok $6k divided by ten pieces, $600 per tool.
try asking them how you get to DOS, that's what most of them think the CLI is. Most of my directions to fix things over the phone start with, hit your start menu, click run, type cmd...
check out moneydance, it isn't free, but neither is quicken.
I have also complained many times that all the help I find for linux deals with a GUI. My experience is that it is difficult to find quality directions dealing with the CLI.
I happen to have a handicap spot in front of my apartment building. There were no handicap people in this building and we all would park there. New neighbor moves in, no handicap sticker. Neighbor does not appear to be handicapped in any way, maybe overweight? About one month later they get a handicap sticker placard. No obvious disabilities. They live next door and I cannot figure out what might be their possible disability.
They complain about people parking in the handicap spot and force the complex to add a second handicap spot for their one placard (to insure they always have a handicap spot). People finally stop parking in handicap spot (major offendor moved) and now there are two handicap spots on a building with not enough parking. Only one is ever used.
I tried finding a way to verify they are the owners of the placard, one worked in a nursing home and was fired, but that appears to be impossible.
extra spots sign mysteriously disappears and wife talks me out of mysterious cinder-block through their car window, although they did get a window broken and laptop stolen afew months later (karma?)
I think you got him, good rebuff. All these morons want us to put all your eggs in one basket, when the real problem last time was too many eggs and not enough baskets. Maybe that's the real hazard of an inflation based economy?
'We the People' do own the government! Too many of us have been absentee owners for too long. The lawn needs to be mowed and we need to slap down a new coat of paint. Unfortunately, the vocal minority who have grown fat on the teats of poor unloved Uncle Sam are doing anything in their power to prevent us from reclaiming our citizen ownership.
Yeah, because they won't have any aspirations to elected office, like governor or president. Politicians will not act against public opinion, this is good. The problem is the manipulation of public opinion.
Everybody wants their kids lives to be better then theirs, since our economic stagnation insures they won't have a better adulthood, they want them to have a better childhood and the kids run roughshod over their friend/parent.
That's true, but I cringe if I walk into McDonalds with someone and they start making custom requests. No pickles on that, only ketchup here, no tomatoes on that one. Best case is your order is wrong, because it will be.

Why take the money as income when your cars, boats, and houses can be owned by the corporation. You get the picture.

I am a very satisfied OpenSUSE user!

There are a surprising number of ebook torrents out there.

Opensuse has been on a roll lately, better hardware support then Ubuntu.

Sounds like it is creating a standard MSI file, try this:

Story of the stolen liver, it looks like he did use the UNOS (and abuse).
I can see, by your choice of words, that you are obviously a compassionate and well educated individual.

Don't worry, if Slashdot has it's way the starving and ignorant will be taking over the developed world soon...
