You Sir or Ma’am win 1000 fake internets today, along with these fabulous parting gifts.... Debbie show them what they’ve won!

Now you tell me, literally yesterday I had to make 10 different Pi SD images.....

Is there a list of which of Nvidia's cards are GTX 600+? Is it just the GTX 600, 700, 800 and 900 series? I've never been able to figure out their numbering scheme (or ATI's for that matter) and generally just read reviews of games that I want to play and see what runs well on which cards.

I was raised in a Catholic home and frequently cite Santa as one of the reasons I'm now an atheist. I have trouble seeing how one all seeing being who rewards good behavior while punishing bad is different from another. That's not an argument for or against Santa, just something to consider.

(BTW, my wife is Catholic…

whew thanks for the clarification. My GV number is the ONLY one I give out and I was panick-searching to see what Google was going to do for the people who had a number.

I'd like to do something similar but using a Microsoft Exchange calendar, or find a reliable way to sync an exchange 2012 calendar with Google do this.

Check out SnapCircuits, while it doesn't pair well with other things like the RaspberryPi and such, it does help teach about electronic circuits and such.

not sure where you were seeing the performance issues, I have 4 roku in my home from various generations, even the first gen streaming device still holds up like a champ (albiet on an old console tv with standard def.)
roku are absolutely wonderful. I know for sure just on people seeing mine and hearing me rave about…

Sadly Nero doesn't work on Linux, so the hunt continues.

I think you just sold me on it, I have a plex server in my basement and while I've got 30 TB of storage on there I've already used about 2/3 of it and would rather do a cloud solution than keep throwing drives at it. It sounds like I'd be able to mount Nero as a mount point in linux and point plex at that location.

Good luck, I go by @CyberCowboy on twitter PLEASE give me a shout if you have any problems and I'll do my best to help you sort them out. I'm by no means an expert but I've been running it for what seems like a long time and run into my share of issues.

Is Nero just a backup or can you stream data off of it as well? have you done any video streaming and if so how's the lag?

Sorry I took so long to get back to you, no uTorrent can run from a shell.

Depends on the hardware within your machine. If the hardware is linux compatible they yes the drivers should be in it (or it should download them as part of the install)
GPU's tend to require what's referred to by linux people as a binary blob (code that isn't open and is basically provided as is by the manufacturer)…

Depends on what you're wanting it to do (the machine should run Amahi without a problem though) if you're just looking for file serving and a VPN and pushing a direct media stream that machine would likely be fine (can't say for sure without exact specs) however if you're looking to do something like real time media…

yes the XMBC software is in the ubuntu app repository (and they run their own PPA which tends to have newer versions of the software)

Note: I'm not a mac guy

Real minimum requirements depend on what you're doing, if you're transcoding high def files on the fly your laptop is going to have a bad time. if you're just looking for VPN access and a file server and downloading torrents the minimum specs are over-kill.
