The Dell PowerEdge R300 has a Broadcom 5722 network card, which isn't supported by the latest release of FreeBSD (7.0). Patches for the Broadcom 5722 are in the development versions of FreeBSD, but in order to get the development versions, it's easiest if you have net access, which is hard without a working network card. |

Apple have launched iTunes Movie Rentals in the UK, and while the pricing is higher than the US pricing, it isn't too bad, considering the usual $=£ conversion. However, the pricing of Apple TV still leaves a lot to be desired. |

In terms of configuration management systems for UNIX systems, cfengine is one of the best known, having been around for 15 years. It appears to have a good reputation. Sadly the documentation is pretty dire... |

Having a mortgage with Barclays was a result of a discussion with a mortgage advisor when I bought I first house. They worked out the cheapest over three years, so it seemed a logical choice. |

The site has been migrated from Joomla! 1.0 to Joomla! 1.5. At the same time I've chosen to change the layout, as it: - Allows more options and flexibility
- Is more standards compliant
- Allows me to test some changes here before I unleash them on BackupExecFAQ.

I've been a TiVo owner since 2002, and I still think it's as fantastic a piece of hardware now as I did six years ago. It's incredibly easy to use, and has been 100% reliable. However, over Christmas I decided I'd record plenty of films, for later viewing. The only problem was that we couldn't watch them as fast as they were recorded, and some films were automatically deleted to make room for new films.

Because I'd ordered the iMac immediately after the release of Leopard, it came with Tiger installed, and an upgrade DVD in the box. I had a five minute play with Tiger, but was itching to see whether Leopard was as good as I hoped it would be. |
