Drive cage recommendations?

by John Stoffel

Guys, I'm looking to add one or more of those 2x5.25" bay to 3x3.5" disk cages to my main file server, which is a CoolerMaster Centurion 534 case, which has tabs in between each 5.25" bay to help hold things in place. I thought about the 3x5.25 -> 4/5x3.5" expanders, but since I have four free 5.25" slots, it makes more sense to use a pair of 2x5.25"->3x3.5" cages. Plus most of the larger expanders won't work with tabs in the case. Part of my criteria is: cost, quiet cooling fan, durability of sleds, SATA III support, abitily to replace the cooling fan if it's too loud. So here's my top four choices. The IcyDock is the most expensive by far. Not sure I'd go for it... sorta leaning towards the iStarUSA models.

Re: [Wlug] SAMBA on Fedora 6??

http://archive.fedoraproject.org/pub/archive/fedora/linux/core/6/i386/os/Fe… It's called samba-* It's probably full of security holes though... keep that baby behind a firewall...

SAMBA on Fedora 6??

by Ken Jones

Due to a series of incidents too complex to detail here, I have just rebuilt a desktop PC with Fedora 6. All seems fine except it does not contain SAMBA - at least I can not find the SAMBA executable on the 5 disc .iso CD set. It has been at least five years. I do not remember it being difficult back then..... I have gone to various places on the WEB that claim to have appropriate SAMBA versions only to discover they have been taken down. I tried the SAMBA in my FEDORA Linux 3 Bible DVD. (Many dependencies missing....) I tried the SAMBA in my SAMBA Black Book CD. I got no where. It's been soooo long. I like Fedora. Must I now go to Ubuntu? Ken Jones

Fedora 15 and Burning CD

by dulsi＠identicalsoftware.com

I want to burn a copy of fedora 15 32-bit on a CD but my installed fedora 15 64-bit isn't letting me. When I put in a blank CD it tells me it has 137.8 MB free and won't let me select that as a burn destination. It shouldn't be 137.8 MB free as a blank CD has more space. To get it working I decided to try burning to a DVD. Space seems correct there but again it doesn't allow burning.

Try posting there[1]; I'm sure they will be more than happy to add another educator to their ranks. Cheers, Jeff [1] https://code.ros.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-users

Robotics and linux

by Ken Jones

Thank you, Kevin, As you can see from my video I have built a state-machine-only robot out of a radio controlled model level car and an Arduino Nano programmed in ArduinoC_0021. The idea has been to interest middle school teachers and students in 'How things work' in 2011. Education must be relevant. My cars can race each other around a room. Speed, competition and the 'real world' makes relevance. Modify the code and win the race. My project has been going on for over a year. Recently it has been struggling. After watching a video of the 2012 Lexus parallel parking itself and realizing that it is doing some mapping, I thought I would investigate 'real' robotic code. ROS was suggested, but it does not seem the right fit. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Ken Jones
