Who said anything about Ubuntu Server 12.04? I am running Mint12 on mine and even compared to Ubuntu (it is based on Ubuntu) it "just works" or at...

People still use BT? Never come across a suckier protocol. I thought anyone with half a clue used nntp. EDIT: Yes I'm trolling. Why not, it's...

I am using WD 2TB Green EARS in mdadm RAID10. No problems at all. Just use the whole drives as mdadm members rather than partitioning them to...
