I'm looking to buy a wireless USB adapter that I can
plug into a Fedora 8 box. The main feature I want it
to be able to stick it in and have it just work. No
custom kernel compiles. If it had 802.11n that would
be a plus.
So - what "just works" with Linux?
Thanks in advance.

chipset. I'm thinking of using it in the workstation
and using the nVidia board on a colo machine.
My question - how friendly is the video drivers in
Linux with the AMD690G chipset? Is it going to work in
1680x1050 mode easily or should I stick with nVidia?

Before everyone gets pissed off and freaks out why
don't you ponder the question why rm won't delete all
the files in the directory. If you can't grasp that
then you're brain damaged.

My proposal is the same somewhat. If one put
restricting on a specific name to deny access to users
then that denial follows that filename even if it is
copied or moved. However if a file has no specific

It eliminates the step of having to apply permission
after moving files into a tree. You don't have to
change file permissions because files no longer have
permissions.

One could create a file system and permission system
that gets rid of the concept of directories entirely
if one chooses to.
That's outside the box big time.

I've been somewhat following the GPL2 vs. GPL3 debate
and the problem is that it leads to confusion. GPL3 is
nothing like GPL2 and the GPLx leads people to believe
that GPL3 is just GPL3 improved.

Running into a problem and not sure what I'm doing
wrong. Created a software raid 10 array. Everything
seems to be normal except that if you take the array
down and run e2fsck on it there are always errors,
mostly all little stuff and it recovers without losing
any data.

I have a partition that used to be part of a software
raid 1 array. It is now loaded as /dev/sda3 but I'd
like to mirror it to /dev/sdb3 without losing the data
on the drive. I'm a little nervous about how to set it
up as I don't want to wipe out the data.
How do I do this? Using FC6 and up 2 date
Also - when running software raid 10 - what's a good
chunck size these days? Running raid 10 with 4 500 GB

Sorry about that
I'm a little stumped trying to set up raid 10. I set
it up and it worked but after a reboot it forgets my
raid setup.
Created 2 raid 1 arrays in md0 and md1 and that works
and survives a reboot.
However - I created a raid 0 on /dev/md2 made up of
/dev/md0 and /dev/md1 and it worked but it forgets
