		<description><![CDATA[I love Acronis TrueImage. It&#8217;s one of the essential CDs in my toolbox, always handy for backing up data on hard drives, cloning disks and saving a lot of time. Even Seagate is using a custom version of TrueImage for its hard drive installation tool. By the way, if you&#8217;re into Open Software, my second [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve got a couple of Dell Latitude C610 laptops with sufficient power in the 1 GHz Pentium III Mobile processor for playing a DivX video full screen. What they are particularily great with is power consumption, running easily for 2.5 to 3 hours on a full charge, and they&#8217;ve got room for two batteries each! [...]]]></description>

I have gone through all the distributions &#8212; FreeNAS, ClarkConnect, OpenFiler &#8212; and ended up pulling hair with despair. Nothing worked, and the symptoms made no sense at all. So, filled with hope for putting an [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The problem Suppose you are the administrator of one or more servers running Windows Server 2003. You probably have a schedule of maintenance tasks you perform on a periodic basis, such as checking system logs, installing software updates, maintaining security policies, cleaning up users&#8217; files and defragmenting the hard drives. For the last activity, you [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I finally had the time to shop for replacement capacitors for the Dell desktop I bought for a file server, whose 5 capacitors were swollen. Somehow electronic parts shops are all grouped together on the same street in this city, stretching for a couple hundred meters on both sides. I needed 5 capacitors of [...]]]></description>

The second time it was a surprising discovery, but I was convinced that the second blow will finally kill the monster. But it didn&#8217;t. And a few days ago I discovered that another [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I’ve got a mixed love/hate relationship with Dell. I love them for having great ideas. Their computers are not designed for everyone; they’re specialized tools that perform very well in specific tasks and areas. The hardware is well thought and assembled — exactly what you need to do something. Custom designed motherboards embrace the BTX [...]]]></description>

Situation: rack-mounted server with all the goodies on it, Windows 2000 Server running SQL Server, IIS and a bunch of other stuff, including Symantec Antivirus. External HP tape drive to be attached. No-brainer [...]]]></description>
