One day you decide to have a Desktop with a single HD. The next day it crashes and you loose a lot of data (you should have taken backups). Adding some extra reliability is adding Software RAID. In this example I will create a RAID1 device with 2 * 1 TB disks The program you will need is mdadm. As I am using ubuntu I will be using aptitude as a package manager. dimi@belhamel:~$ sudo aptitude install mdadm Next you will have to create partitions on your device, which we will do using fdisk. (you could use gparted or whatever).

Yes, I am an unhappy Belgacom customer. For foreign visitors, Belgacom is one of the 2 big players on the Belgian market providing Digital TV and other telecom solutions to customers and companies. This isn't the worst part yet, as it was formerly state owned, so it is undoubtedly an organizational mess. As I wanted to have Digital TV, I looked at several possibilities. - Telenet Digital: My appartement cable lines are too old - TV Vlaanderen: I needed to drill some holes through solid concrete which is highly impractical.

How to get started with Belgacom TV: Plug in your extra ethernet wire in the belgacom router. There should be a TV port still free. Make a dhcp request from your computer. pretty straightforward right! Open your VLC player and open a network stream. Television is being multicast from different IP-adresses and ports. Try this one to test: udp://@239.255.1.78:2156 This should provide the science channel to you :) and should learn lots of interesting things ;). Of course there is a full explication which you can find on:

Yesterday I had the honor of visiting NEXT Brussels. This is an event that claims to be the biggest game and consumer electronic fair in Belgium. As I have had my wonderfull gaming experiences (My only reason of having a spare Windblows): Counterstrike, Half-Life 1&2 and others. I decided to visit this fair with 2 buddy's (Tom, a games and electronics lover and Yannick, a 'bit' of a WOW addict.)

Today I was kindly invited by my ex-collegue and dear friend Gryp to the presentation of the New Golf in a local garage. The presentation was marvelous, nice drinks, friendly people, even local dishes and of course alot of vehicles... When I came in although I saw the Golf and my first feeling was that this is not a Golf Mk 6 but a Golf Mk5,5. Maybe this is an unjust feeling and it could be that the golf has a totally new suspension and engine...
