Is there an idiot's guide to installing WINE 1.0.1 on Ubuntu? Everywhere I
look I can only find the latest Beta. Linux newbie here, idiot's guide
required :)
Thanks.

X/ZTree equivalent in Linux..?
Tue, 25 Aug 2009 19:49:49 +0100
Having recently started to explore Linux after many moons with DOS and
Windows, I wonder if there is an equivalent out there to the excellent
XTree (DOS) and ZTree (Windows) programs..?
I've grown used to these and it would be a great advantage in exploring
the structure of the Linux filesystem.

mythtv box spec
Sun, 23 Aug 2009 21:36:54 +0000 (UTC)
hi,
I'm seriously considering binning my Sky service and building my own

have had 3 Sky boxes, we only have one) so I assume I can create a back
end box with 3 capture cards.
What is the minimum spec (RAM, CPU) machine I'm going to need ...

and wishes I have for its properties. Alas, the info I find on the web

RAID too small, need more space, how?
Fri, 21 Aug 2009 08:55:07 -0000
There's a server here with four 73GB HDs in it. One HD is the root
drive, and the other three are in RAID 5+1. We're running out of space
in the array. There's only space for another two disks in the machine
(hot-swap SCSI bay).
If I add two drives to the array I can extend the capacity by 146GB

Anyone using puppy? (Quick question)
Wed, 19 Aug 2009 08:32:00 +0100
Yes, there's a forum, but it's slow and a quick search doesn't show what I

How do you turn off DHCP and manually asign an ip address etc? To a wireless
card.
