Im only curious really but if someone with the know could comment on advantages/disadvantages of compiling programs from source vs simply installing from aptitude repos I would be most grateful.

Oh yeh good one thanks. It describes what I had done initially but when the linked tarball didnt upload to dropbox website I thought maybe its not valid. Realised now that problem wasnt with linked...

Fair enough for dropbox. About second question regarding symlinks is it possible to upload/sync files through a symbolic link in the Dropbox folder to another file somewhere else on filesystem?

Ok so, having disabled journaling from imac, I can now write fine to this drive, but on imac there appears to be a problem with reading the files I write from ubuntu. I understand its something about...

OK, fine thats what I came across, the hfsplus utils yoke that the ubuntu brainstorm folks have apparently used to implement writing to journaled hfs+ filesystems. Maybe I'm an idiot but I cant seem...

this suggests that yes the support is there but I have not been able to successfully impart such skills to my own ubuntu system.

I've been wondering about this issue (writing to journaled hfs+ from ubuntu) for a while because I have a back up disk drive for my imac that I've increasingly used as a transferer of data from imac...

The more I think about this the more it seems i need a switch to change the signal coming out of the...

I thought that might also be the problem however when I take the linksys wireless router and link it up with another cable (~10m) there are no problems with connecting.
Its really through a process...

Yeah I also read that somewhere. My cable is only ~60m in length. I was thinking though that whatever is coming out of the Netgear ADSL modem/router doesnt work with that length and that I needed a...
