Thanks, Dude! (again, no pun intended) I had trouble getting Vanilla to boot last time, but we'll see if a clean install on a freshly LLF'd drive gets me anywhere.

Hey guys, I know this is a bit weird, but I've never really gotten into Linux and I'm looking to get a bit into it. Is there any fairly intuitive distro of Linux out there? Ideal for Linux newbies, that is. Thanks.

Ubuntu is good for those new to Linux.

which of these is better my psu is making a whistling noise as mentioned in my other thread so I think it is time for a new one.

Buy the Ultra LS600 Lifetime Series 600W Power Supply at TigerDirect.ca

or

Buy the Cooler Master 500W PSU Extreme Power Plus at TigerDirect.ca

I would take the Cooler Master.

I have an LS350 running in my media rig, and it's always right at 12.01 on the +12v. Plus the lifetime warranty. >.>

It really depends on the wattage you are requiring as to what would be a better choice, especially since they are differently priced. You're adding another aspect to your comparison that puts it on a whole 'nother plane.

I think I did a good job on my cable management. Well, except for the part under the HDD.

 

[JogaBonito1502]

I don't think it's that much.

I just rep'ed a newer member for a high quality post and I handed out 79 points. You're definitely over 100.

I finally got the computers back from the police. Apparently the lawyer did some things to get it back because the police had no intentions of giving them back. However this is the condition I received my old server back in
