You could always use FreeNAS, which is slightly less complicated and can fit on a USB Key.
FreeNAS is a free NAS (Network-Attached Storage) server, supporting: CIFS (samba), FTP, NFS, AFP, RSYNC, iSCSI protocols, S.M.A.R.T., local user authentication, Software RAID (0,1,5) with a Full WEB configuration interface. FreeNAS takes less than 32MB once installed on Compact Flash, hard drive or USB key.

Every person I've talked to thinks the auto resizing of the input text box as a "Really Bad Idea" (TM), at first I thought GTK was broken until I bothered to search the mailing list.
Obviously, not everyone is going to post and complain about it... I've found that Pidgin developers are less than responsive, that's why there's forks of various protocols for Pidgin, like msn-pecan.
I'd suggest to you (honestly) - that if all your gf really does is youtube, mail & chat, then she'd be much better off on Ubuntu than windows.
What about the fact that Pidgin's MSN plugin is mountains behind the official protocol, doesn't include bells and whistles that most users that only use their computer for the above tasks would want...?
Why shouldn't they be forced by the government to lease their last mile? The infrastructure that Bell uses for delivery of their service was paid for by Canadian tax dollars, and supported by a government provided monopoly.
The parent is correct. These people are not resellers of bandwidth, they are wholesalers. They have their own infrastructure, except they have to lease the last mile from Bell.
The X61 has excellentreviews, infact I own one myself. Under "light" use (and I'm sure that Excel falls under light use), I can get 7 hours out of the battery with wireless enabled, if I'm watching XViD with VLC I can get about 4 hours out of the battery.
The hard disk is not slow at all, I'm running Windows XP and boot time is under a minute on the machine and is sufficient for most tasks.
Pirates are still going to pirate with or without DRM, and without it at least normal users will have less of a headache getting music on their favourite MP3 Player.
I don't see what the big deal about removing DRM is, either way the music industry needs to revise their business model, and removing DRM is the first step.
Am I the only one that notices that Apple's response to every problem is a swift "let's delete this topic and pretend the problem doesn't exist"?.. Seems like bad business practise to me.

You must be Chinese.
Why aren't you mad at the Chinese gov't for doing stupid shit like blocking Sourceforge just because of the actions of one of it's users?
Java is Java, JavaScript is JavaScript. No part of Gmail uses Java.

Never! When satan skates to work!
Taking RAW images with my camera was akin to storing 1 MB JPEG image into 3 MB RAW format.
Uh, How about the fact that there are no JPEG compression artifacts on a RAW image?

It's a norm in Western Canada, too.
One word: qmail.
It appears that Wikipedia is in fact, still blocked in China. I was talking to a friend in Guangzhou and she is unable to access Wikipedia.
Can anyone else verify that it is still blocked?

I pay $25/Mbit in Vancouver, BC with some decent Tier 1 bandwidth in the mix (SBM aka Big Pipe and TELUS).
Bandwidth hasn't been expensive as you're saying for a couple years.
The parent is correct. These people are not resellers of bandwidth, they are wholesalers. They have their own infrastructure, except they have to lease the last mile from Bell.
How can you even compare CeBIT and Richmond Night Market, they are completely different kind of things!
..
CeBIT is a computer fair to show off new products etc, while Richmond Night Market is primarily for selling knock off goods
Yes, I have the extended battery. Note that: Lenovo doesn't even support Linux on that hardware, so your mileage will vary.
Troll.

I for one, have decided to join it.
No, they do the opposite. IBM and the like actually whitelist what Mini PCI cards you can put in a machine.
Lame, I know.

Sun has known this for years, I don't think they've just started to "realize" that.
Or, you know. They could buy an IBM ThinkPad X61 which is actually cheaper.
You can actually run a successful business with that kind of attitude?
One of these days you're going to lose most of your useful employees and then wonder what happened. Refer yourself to this post when you do so.
