    AC3, Lame, etc.

    I don't know about surround sound codec. Most players still don't play mpeg4 unless you buy one that specifically says so.

    AC3, Lame, etc.

    AC3 and Lame are different things. Lame is an MP3 encoder, while AC3 is an audio format. xvid is nowadays better than divx, it is also open source.

    KDE4 released

    The new major version of KDE4 has been released today. It's been many years since the release of KDE3 and now we have a brand new KDE. KDE4 now uses the Qt4 library toolkit which is better in many ways to Qt3. Not all applications are finished, e.g. Amarok but they're on their way. The core...

    PS3 should suck

    Best being subjective in this case, for me the PS3 is the "best". I own a 360, and think it's a good, decent console with good network integration. But that doesn't change the fact that technologically, it is isn't quite there alongside the PS3.

    Which distro for linux server?

    Amen. A really annoying thing about Ubuntu is that the default kernel has a 250Hz timer, which means that midi sequencing software like Rosegarden doesn't function correctly. There's a low latency one available in the repos though.

    Which distro for linux server?

    For a server Debian is probably the best, I use it on a small 900Mhz file/web/samba server and it handles everything fine. You could also use CentOS too.

    New to tinkering with computers; video card upgrade advice?

    Your system is pretty decent overall, but for high end gaming you'll want a new CPU as well as a new graphics card. However, you could try overclocking your Core 2 Duo to get extra performance for free. Google around for articles on overclocking the core 2 duos. As for a graphics card, a 7900...

    protecting files on shared external hdd

    Don't think XP will allow you to block users from accessing the partition, not easily anyway. There's no file permissions as in unix systems.

    Low Profile

    I think that low profile cards are either smaller, and/or use less power than normal cards, therefore also run cooler.

    protecting files on shared external hdd

    FAT32 has no built in security, so the best you can do in your situation is to archive and password protect the data using winrar is similar.

    protecting files on shared external hdd

    If the file system on your drive is NTFS then you can encrypt it using the built in XP system so that only the user who owns the files can access it. In Professional, this should be Properties>Advanced>Encrypt. In home, there is an option to "Make folder private" I believe, but I'm not too sure...

    OH NO! Somebody please help me!

    Your computer should still be working, but Windows won't display because of the improper graphics settings. Start your PC, and before windows begins to load keep tapping (or hold) F8. This should bring up a menu before booting, choose "Safe mode" and you should be able to boot into a...

    Problems mounting NTFS in Debian

    Isn't the read/write ntfs driver called ntfs-3g? I came across the write driver in the kernel before, but AFAIK it only supported writing to files without changing the size, and some other limitations. The 3g driver has full read/write support. Try mounting the fs with the -f option to...

    "Repair" option in install process

    Your post was a bit unclear, but I don't think repair is dependent on system restore. I've used it a few times and most of the time if you try to install on a partition it asks to repair it.
