thanks gang!!

all I'm missing now is a SATA cable and I can complete my U-box build!!

I got the CPU, CPU Fan, and drives installed yesterday -- but-- only 2 SATA cables shipped with the motherboard -- and I installed two Seagate/Baracudas plus an ANSUS CD/DVD optical drive!!

( thinking about trying to get this box to run RAID0 -- which is supported on the M5A88-M motherboard ) .if i get all the cabling installed today i'll try to power i up w/ Disk 0 only connected -- keep ur fingers crossed!! I'm donloading the 64bit AMD Desktop version of 12.04 LTS for an ISO burn this morning

so thanks again; plan to hang around here with questions and maybe i can help out a bit sometimes too

:):):):):)

Congrats. I have been a "reader" here since 2006 but still have a negligible post count.

Just a quiet guy, I guess!

Why do you want to run a RAID0? If one drive goes down, you lose the entire array.

Ok, help me out here...what chu talkin bout Willus?

I see I have 19 beans over there, and not sure what that means...is that what you're referring to?

If beans are awesome, how do I get some? :)

lol

[SeanIM]

Ok, so I have an odd question.

Why is my bean count stuck on 19? It seems, I've read, to have something to do with the number of posts you've made on these forums.

I've posted more than 50 posts over the years I'm sure...is there a reason my beans are stuck?

Strange (shrugs)

You get beans for helping people in the help forums, not just for showing up..I have a little over 100 myself..
The clever titles are totally random.

You could 600,000 posts in non support areas and 19 support posts and your bean count would be 19

I think it's funny how newer users perhaps don't see the connection most of the times between the "beans" on the forum and Ubuntu :P


To us oldies, it's a great reminder of "The Dark Ages" aka the brown crappy color scheme from the good old dayz :P
