  1. Ubuntu is a good choice if you haven't a clue where to start. However, it's not nearly "the deep end" if you wanna get stuck in. Of course, it is still Linux based, no-one can dispute that, so it still does everything it should, it's just a bit more bubble-wrapped than... almost every other distro ever. On the plus side, you can generally install drivers easier due to Canonical (the guys who distribute Ubuntu) allowing closed source drivers to be installed with a couple of button presses.

    It's not, however, a good choice if your machine is lacking in power (and specifically RAM), it'll curl up and die on any machine with a lower spec than it thinks it needs at any given time.

    this is completely true

    for a server debian is probably better than ubuntu

    but maybe if it's your first server ubuntu is a better choice than debian

    but ubuntu will not work on a computer with 32 mb ram and 300 Mhz cpu

    but debian-from-scratch would happily
  2. Remember to RAR or 7z the file BEFORE sending it or else....

    or else what

    how many services do you know that want a virus on their server? None.

    Save some trouble - RAR or 7z it, before you send it...

  3. the highest comcast offers(in my area at least) is 8 megaBITs per second, that's 1 Megabyte per second.

    I would say call them. If you get a reponce to the effect of "Well we just tested your connection and it seems fine" then they have temporeraly tuned off the throteling on your connection.

    ....and I call myself a geek... *tear*
  4. ....wow and y'all call your self geeks?

    comcast right?

    the highest comcast offers(in my area at least) is 8 megaBITs per second, that's 1 byte per second.  File sizes are mostly in bytes not bits so it takes some time to get used to that.  comcast also offers PowerBoost that will "bump" your connection to 20 megabits/s, but ony for the first 10MB

    (everything on the comcast site says MB for megabyte but it may be Mb for megabit and the web developers are just stupid)

  5. most laptops don't have a reset on board but if you went with towers you could wire up a wire or two to the reset switch on the mobo and plug that into a serial port... I'm sure out there somewhere is a way to force a reset to one box from another

  6. Java is easy. C[++] stomps all over Java in speed.

    Which one of these is the one you can compile and write to the boot sector of a computer and it would just display "Hello World"?

    Now that is a waste of assembly...

    How is that a waste? Do you even understand what that is?

    Yes.....

    well?

    how is it a waist?
