- Changing the permissions and owner of a drive mountpoint in Linux.
- Viewer Question: I want to build my mother-in-law a new desktop computer using an Intel mini-ITX motherboard. How do I tell if this motherboard will support Compiz-Fusion effects?

- Viewer Comment: I've installed two hard drives, and have setup nine versions of Linux on the second drive. I use my computer's boot order menu to select which drive to boot from, and it allows me to choose Windows Vista (drive 1) or Linux (Drive 2) without having to worry about a dual-boot breaking my Vista partition.
