MythTV is better. I wrote code so I can control it with Siri. All I need to do is say something like.. "Play video The Big Bang Theory Season 1 Episode 4" or "Play video The Terminator" and it plays on my HTPC ;) now that's cool :P

You don't use RAID for backup, you use it for redundancy. Cloud storage has a long way to go, it might work for you but if there is a 'disaster' I would rather not wait X amount of time to try and retrieve my company data. With swappable drives you have the data to hand immediately.

... Cause that's how I roll !

The list. Poweredge 2850 Powervault NX1950 Poweredge 2650 Poweredge 600sc Poweredge Unknown - Doesn't have a model number.. just a service tag (which I can't be bothered looking up lol) but it's a 1U rack server. PowerEdge 2850 Most of them are brimmed to capacity with 15K SCSI drives, ram and...

He shouldn't and this just makes my point about people stating stuff they obviously don't know enough about. RAID 1 will give you a better type of redundancy should 1 drive fail and give you greater speed over a single spindle. Raid 5 will give you redundancy sure, but you will get much slower...

The AV on the clients would stop any propogation. Exactly. Oh, absolutely correct. The business owner is a fool trusting all his company data on a n00b (no offence to OP) Agreed, Why even bother with that.. Administrative down the switch ports.. easy. FLOL.

Ubuntu Server, but it's not running a vanilla kernel.. it's custom.

All good and well, but locking down systems, deploying AV with GP and ensuring client firewalls are turned on (with a few exceptions deployed by GP) will be more than sufficient for them. Have you ever had to deal with L2 switches with sticky ports or similar turned on in the real world ? it's...

The only thing I based my recommendations on are the items he requested, in essence I have assumed nothing. I might assume that he would want to rapidly expand in future in which case this will not be the ideal hardware for the job, but I did not. If you wan't anything more than this, then he...

It's past midnight.. the users will be automated logins for scripts etc. hence the 0. load averages.

Uptime is hardly a measurement of QOS. However, ~$ uptime 23:59:33 up 763 days, 5:19, 12 users, load average: 0.08, 0.03, 0.05 :rasp:

I can only go off the information that was provided in this thread, if the client doesn't give you all the information (which is quite often the case when the user doesn't even know what they want) then you have to make a judgement call based on that information. Server to act as file server...

I'll try and post up a list of the servers.. they range from a mega ancient linux box (i'm talking 1Ghz 512mb ram lol) to an NX1950 dual Xeon (8 cores, 16 virtual cores with hyperthreading and 8GB RAM) About 7 servers were replaced with fully redundant, clustered IBM virtualized servers running...

f**king hell this thread is laughable. So much irrelevant information. I am going to dumb this right down ! Based on the size and requirements of the company. Hardware (i'm being generic here but I deal with IBM and Dell both good) SBS Server A midrange processor 4GB RAM 2 x 100+ gig in...

65 KG and only 70GB storage lol ??? I have about 10 dell poweredge/powervault servers after doing a full consolidation and virtulization migration at work... some of them will be going in a half rack in my attic serving the home automation, security and whole house audio/media system serving...

This.

7 is Vista.. with clean, optimised code. And with Vista having an estimated 50 million lines of code, it's quite different really. Coincidently, despite all the new features in 7 it is rumoured to have less lines of code over Vista due to the optimasation of the code. Well obviously it's not...

There is a lot more changed than just looks, it's actually quite different to Vista and other previous incarnations of Windows. By far the best feature is.. tap start button (on keyboard) type a bit of what you want press enter, job done. Of course, I don't use Windows if I can help it! and...

Ok Mr Serious. lol I didn't say they didn't use them. I actually said in my original post "They aren't using Foxcon boards anymore."

Well, leaving server products out of it: Pretty much every model of laptop from Inspiron 100L's to 110's right the way to D series and their current Latitude E6520's (which happens to be what i'm using now) and pretty much every desktop model from Optiplex GX170L's to their current Optiplex...

<?php $max = 123435435; $saveto = "/savefilehere"; while ($i = 0; $i < $max; $i++) { if($i < 100) { $number = str_pad((int) $i, 3, "0", STR_PAD_LEFT); } else { $number = $i; } $file =...

Fail, who uses optical media for backups.. DVD 1 of 40.. it's like installing windows 3.1.. floppy 1 of 25 all over again. Fail Fail How long ago was that ? Don't think Dell use Foxcon anymore, certainly not any any of the models I have worked on. No, they still are. WIN, on both...

Well, I will give you that.. Got 2 copies of Datacenter (or if your are British, Datacentre) recently and it cost about 3-4k !

Jesus.. lol I MEANT DATACENTER !!!!

Lol, I knew someone would correct me.. I re-read it later and was going to edit but you can't edit posts after a set time. I of course meant Datacenter Edition, but thanks for being pedantic :P

Generally speaking, yes. (there are cut down versions) But to be honest when each node is running 200gig of ram it's not really an issue ;) and like I said, buy one copy of 2008 R2 Enterprise and you are good for unlimited guests running 2008 R2 :D One thing that did bug me about it was they...

Hyper-V and VMware are both visualization but are very different. The big bonus of Hyper-V is cost, if you already purchased 2008 R2 you can deploy as many guests running 2008 R2 as you want with no additional licensing costs etc. VMWare is more powerful but you pay ££££££ for that. All our...

How about the opinion of Acer's very own CEO ?? and I quote http://www.engadget.com/2011/12/09/acer-will-stop-making-cheap-crap-but-keep-selling-netbooks-dis/ :D

That.
