• Viewer Question:  Is your daughter going to sneak in tonight?
• Welcome to first-time viewers in the chat room.
• Viewer Question:  I tried PySDM to edit my fstab file, but it confused my drive.  Is there a known problem?  Or is there an alternate application?
• Viewer Comment:  I think you should show us how to build a NAS ourselves using old hardware and something akin to FreeNAS.
• Feature:  Redundant data storage: finding the ultimate solution at the ultimate price.  Part 2.
• Looking at FreeNAS, ZFS, RAID-Z, Solaris, Drobo, RAID-5, RAID-1, unRAID and NASlite as possible solutions for redundant data storage.
• Viewer Comment:  Following Episode 96, I was able to build an unRAID server with three drives, and it's awesome.
• Viewer Comment:  I think it's more common to do a RAID-5 on LVM, allowing the RAID to grow more easily.
• Viewer Question:  I have a laptop from work that runs under a domain login, and an Ubuntu computer at home.  While I can ping and remote desktop between the two, I cannot access the Ubuntu shared printer from my Windows laptop.  How can I get this working?
• Viewer Comment:  Use CUPS.
• Viewer Question:  I have an OPEN iConnect Access 624W wireless router, and after trying to update the firmware, it doesn't work.  What can I do to fix it?

• Viewer Question:  I have a folder full of tax documents which I edit often.  I'd like to have a system in place to automatically back up the files and email them to me every couple days.  Is there any application that will do that for me on Ubuntu Jaunty?
• Viewer Question:  Why does my laptop monitor attract so much dust?
• Viewer Question:  The latest ATI drivers for Linux just came out.  Do I have to remove 9.6 before I install 9.7 on Ubuntu Linux?
