Comment Software RAID good enough for home (Score 1) 359

I've used Linux software RAID for years. I've rebuilt failed disks on it, I've had a SATA port die on a motherboard and moved the RAID from a CentOS 6 to Ubuntu 18 with no issue at the same time. I wouldn't recommend more than 2 users on this type of RAID setup. I see performance drop considerably. This is the cheapest option too.

Comment Re:Go AMD! (Score 0) 101

Everytime I try AMD, the motherboard is a POS. Last time with the FX-8150, one of the SATA ports went bad and had to decommision it as a result. I had Athlons as well and the M/B blew up on all of them and this was with no overclocking too. AMD just doesn't cut it on the motherboard side. I've blown up an Intel branded board but that blew up from video card overclocking but that was the only one that I caused. I still have an Intel system running 24/7 I got in 2002. If AMD can develop some good motherboards, I will try them again.

Comment Slackware, Mandrake,SuSE, Fedora Redhat and CentOS (Score 1) 867

Back when I started in Linux, there was SLS and Slackware. The kernel on the install of Slackware I 1st got was .99pl14. I was slackware until 1995 when I went to Mandrake. I did a brief stink with SuSE but didn't like how different it was from Mandrake/RedHat. When Red Hat went commecial, I became an RHCE and stayed with Redhat derivatives.
