Been meaning to get my hands on a server for a good price. Something I can throw all my music, films and stuff on to and use as a media hub.

Just buy a NAS harddisk with raid capability.
Throw in two identical 2TB HD's and it'll backup itself.
You won't have to do a thing and your music will be available throughout your network.

Anyone who thinks they're geek should try installing Arch Linux sometime.

In semi-related news, over the past 3 days I've installed 5 different linux distributions on my netbook and upgraded another which is installed on an external hard drive.

**** is complicated yo.

I need a new computer before I can join chat, considering I broke my laptop, my iPhone and my desktop computer. I'm not doing to well. :'(

Been meaning to try Arch Linux, a few of my friends are using it. I have Ubuntu installed on my laptop along with Windows. It's alright I guess, I only really use it for internet sometimes and just to mess around with. It seems to be a bit faster with internet and is a lot easier on my laptop's resources compared to Windows 7 but it can be a bit buggy sometimes, and it seems to freeze on me more times than Windows. Been thinking about uninstalling it and replacing it with Mint.

Don't bother. Try lubuntu. I've been through what feels like every ubuntu distro recently and its by far the fastest and most reliable of the bunch so far. mint is a little bloated imo, especially since it uses GNOME by default, which is way more resource intensive than the LXDE environment Lubuntu uses.

Oh, and xubuntu is worth a try, but its not actually all that fast compared to lubuntu. Still a lot lighter than ubuntu or kubuntu though.

I'll give Lubuntu a shot then, it'll probably suit me more as I'll only be using it as a secondary OS on this laptop. The LXDE desktop looks a lot lighter graphically than GNOME. Mint would probably be more suited to small netbooks using it as a primary OS.

Not really. I tried mint and didn't find it to be appreciably quicker than vanillabuntu. Lubuntu is much faster. And really, lxde isn't lacking on features (and it has some things I prefer over gnome)

You know you're a geek when you hear "tablets worth €440,000 seized by police" on the news and think that's a lot of ipads.
