Games for a 5 year old?

I totally agree with the suggestion of Lego Star Wars II. Lego Star Wars 1 would be ok too. imho, the Lego games are the best little kid games available. I have a 7 and 5 year old and that's what they started out on the version for the gamecube (and now play it on the Wii). Easy controls...

What's the best way to use my 360 as an extender?

Streamed to the Xbox360, AVIs work great. I do it all the time. In fact, I'd say that it has changed my tv watching. Now with Netflix support coming this week for the 360, it's media capabilities are awesome.

List your favorite Notebook/Laptop Pick

My Inspiron 8600 has a power connector that doesn't "click" together in any way. The cord easily slides in and out - the result is that it can't be a point of failure. Any tension simply pulls the power cord out of the back of the laptop. Nice design

Windows Network Installation

Like Jack said, for 4 computers it isn't worth it. It's faster/easier to do a "manual" install. That being said, there are a few sites around with quite a bit of information about creating CDs to do unattended installs. Ie, you pre-configure everything ahead of time (even adding 3rd party...

Wireless network..

Don't get the netgear wgt624. I have/had one. It's crap. I needs to be power-cycled every day or so because it hangs. Get a linksys wrt54g instead.

I swear... IPCop is one difficult motherf

I'm not sure what's tough about IPCop, I've found it to be great. IPcop IS Linux with IPTables. Eesh. Go to the IPCop website www.ipcop.org and choose Support then post a question to the IPCop mailing list. Someone should be able to help you. btw, 2.4ghz P4 is overkill for an IPCop...

General VPN Question

For a small network like you're describing, I'd consider using IPCop. IPCop is a linux firewall distribution. It runs on a cheap old computer, is a dedicated firewall box and does VPN. Basically, you put a IPCop box at the office, one at home and they connect to each other to complete the...

Unofficial ASUS K8N-E thread

Can someone tell me about the RAID features on this board. I realize that it uses Nvidia RAID and Silicon Images. Are they both hot-plugable? Do they both automatically rebuild a failed drive in RAID 1 or 5 configuration?

OneNote rocks! I use it often. People use it in many different ways - do a google search. It can be used as simply as a note taking device - or as much as your own personal database of everything you need to keep in a searchable format.
