In this case your server will need a similar setting if you want to be able to export your share

/ laptop1(rw) as you have above. Otherwise your server won't know where "laptop1" is.

Many people don't care about anything that happens under the applications that get their work done. These people see no reason to try anything new unless problems come up with their current system...

I can do all of my work using just an SSH client, X environment (X forwarding) and a web browser. Everything beyond that regardless of OS (whatever I may happen to be using) is a hobby. Is Linux a...

Nah. Windows for me is the alternative to Linux. Not the other way around.

Well yes. but I think you're missing the point - the point that this guy's response would not be something we would have expected in the least from simply opening a terminal and therefore couldn't...

I personally don't want anything to do with WGA but I also know more than just a few people who would read this and say "so what if MS knew my IP"?

My only complaint about this season is that Haruhi is kinda failing at the moment with the last 5 or so episodes of repitition of the same thing.. I wonder how long it will last.. I doubted at first...

E6300 is a great CPU. No need to upgrade and well worth keeping and restoring for use. What would you be doing on this machine?

My first experience did not involve an installation. I had to SSH into the school's RHEL server to remotely pull up a certain design software for my electrical engineering class.

It was painful....

I have 10MB because I read some where that the kernel operates more efficiently if you have a swap partition even if it never gets used. The guide I was following suggested something in the order of...

In case devs look through these threads for new ideas I will mention too that I hope this doesn't happen.

My longest for a home computer was 84 days. Currently 22.

Really liking Haruhi Season 2. I must say well done so far.

I've been putting off hunting for new seasons stuff. Its a pain to find the right source to follow earlier on.

Yeah PSU is overkill. I'd recommend a ~400W from Corsair or Seasonic.

I'm running a similar specced machine but with an E8400 on a 330W Seasonic PSU.

Activation and WGA were what first made me consider learning Linux.

Everytime I see this I think its absolutely brilliant.

You probably don't need a software firewall if you run it in a NAT. You could rely on the firewall of the host OS.

Usual security measures are recommended if the virtual OS is important to you. If...

Probably. I generally like Google's functional/efficient/minimal design philosophy.

Setup a Linux home server.

Its how I first got into Linux. Desktop came later for me.

and I'm here fighting to reduce resource consumption on my laptop and 512MB.

I got it down to ~70MB idle on a GUI desktop using a minimal WM and I can finally multitask somewhat with firefoxes and...

This is becomming less true as LCD monitors do not necessarily use less power displaying black pixels. LCDs display by changing the orientation of liquid crystals in each pixel to change the amount...

I'd also like to add:

Since when does tinkering not constitute as computing? This is a biased opinion of those who find it boring.

Tinkering *is* my leisure activity.

After I learned my way around using Windows I don't think I've ever gotten any malware installed. I got plent through p2p and kept them dormant on my HDDs but to my knowledge I've never had any...
