I am Tim Botha, as you can see from my profile. I am a IT System Support Engineer, actually a Microsoft certified MCITP. Yes, that shouldn`t be relevant to this website, as this is primarily just about lunix, but if you don`t know what is going on inside your computer, then you can know all about the software but that doesn`t help you if you have a hardware problem. I have a Lenovo Thinkpad Laptop - i5 second generation, 4GB Memory, and 500GB Hard drive. I just recently build up an server running Ubuntu 10.04, running and i5 3.3GHz, 16GB Memory, and 1TB Hard drive, with 750 Watt power supply - 10 users using it at the same time as terminals. I am a big IT guy, repairing hardware and software..... ©
