Documenting Linux
Have not been very active on this blog of mine for quite some time, opting to write more about my thoughts on tango. A case of “writers’ block”!? 
Well, anyway, given that I spend reasonable amounts of time on fine-tuning my Linux system and preparations to build an “economic” Hackintosh, I will instead try to document some of the useful things I have discovered about Linux over the years – for the time being at least.
My basic system configuration is as follows:
- CPU: C2D E8400 (not overclocked, because my RAM can’t support it
) - Motherboard: GA-EP45-DS3P
- Graphics: XFX GT8500 (fanless)
- RAM: 4 x 1GB
- HDD:
160GB250GB SATA (/, /swap) + 1.5TB RAID-1 SATA (/home) - Optical: 2 x DL DVD Writer
- OS: Debian Squeeze
Anyway have been spending the entire weekend trying to recover from a supposedly failed drive in my RAID-1 array. By the way, with hard disks being as cheap* as they are now, it’s almost criminal not to get something ridiculously large… The net result: I upgraded my original 1TB RAID-1 to 1.5TB RAID-1!
* As of today, 1TB Seagate drives are SG$79 whereas 1.5TB Seagate drives are a mere SG$115 or about US$88!

The adventure of life
A beautiful “mantra”…
The adventure of life is to learn.
The purpose of life is to grow.
The nature of life is to change.
The challenge of life is to overcome.
The essence of life is to care.
The opportunity of life is to serve.
The secret of life is to dare.
The spice of life is to befriend.
The beauty of life is to give.
The joy of life is to love.
