    Where are all the old school head-fiers?

    Hi, Guys. I've finally got a life, well actually a job with fixed hours instead of contract / consultant. The only thing I miss from the old job is the travel all over the USA, but there were many weeks when I didn't have any work at all. The new job is 10 miles from home and at a high...

    I want to try Linux, but...

    Eric, You're absolutely right about Linux, it really isn't all that friendly, with SuSE probably being the friendliest distro out there. But there also the purists out there who do not want to see Linux dumbed down to Windows standards. But I've had plenty of problems with formatting a...

    anyone know how to wipe a hard drive?

    Download Bart's PE, update the Mcafee anti-virus module, boot off the BartPE cd and run it overnight to clean the viruses. Just cleaning the viruses is not going to work if he keeps using an account with admin privs.

    Buying a small compact car, what would you choose?

    Pep, Test drive them all. I drove an Aveo rental and I couldn't wait to get back to my Miata. Wow, I had power again. Gas is going up everyday, get the best gas mileage one. But it had better handle and have accleration. When's the Pontiac Solstice coming out?

    Need expert advice on buying/building a computer

    Asus hasn't been very forthcoming with Linux drivers for their mobos. But chances are that most of the newest boards will have problems with Linux. One of the complaints with Asus was their use of Promise HD controllers, and their choice of LAN and sound chips. Asus just seems to be anti-Open...

    Did you download the chipset, video, lan, and sound drivers from the OEM website? I'm betting that you didn't, especially the video drivers and chipset drivers.

    Need expert advice on buying/building a computer

    You could always get the Antec LAN case for about $50 after rebates at CompUSA (they run the special every few weeks). Of course for that price you don't get a psu, so the price will be about the same after you factor in a $70 psu and you'd have to worry about ever receiving the rebate. I say...
