I'm with Kyra_to on this one. For the desktop Ubuntu is fantastic. I've used both Ubuntu and Kubuntu for desktops and notebooks, and have found them to be amazing client side OSes. For the server, I'm biased to Debian as well. I use it for our cluster as well as our everyday servers. Once...

fink is great because of it's similarties to apt-get and it's inclusion of dpkg (I'm a huge Debian fan on the server). I just wish it was as up-to-date with it's packages as macports is.

What has to be done to update to Snow Leopard? From my understanding: * those with new Intel Mac's, they just need to purchase it when it comes out * those with older PowerPC's, purchase a new Mac or stick with Leopard * those who purchased Mac's since June of 2009, pay for shipping and get an...

When I got mine, the salesman made no mention of an extension or new promo. Paying $30 / month, I've been trying to use up data as much as I can. I'm watching youtube videos daily, surfing the web constantly, chatting and I can't even put a dent on my 6GB. It's been about 3 weeks and I've...

Just wanted to get some opinions for ext. HD enclosures. I've been in the market to get one to put one of my many 3.5" surplus HDs in it so that it's usable as I've gone completely laptop these days. A friend of mine has an Ultra...

I've been using E2C Shures and they work great. They passively filter out noise and have some decent quality audio. Not that great base response, but way better than some of the others I've heard at that price point.

MacTheRipper for Macs It's free and relatively easy to use.

Snapz Pro for Mac OS X I've been using Snapz Pro to do some video screen captures on my Mac. Pretty easy to use software. One of the other ones I've tried is vnc2swf. Not as easy as Snapz, but definitely something useful and accomplishes the required task. Snapz Pro...
