I just need an OS that will sit there in the background running my PC while I get on with the interesting stuff. Im not remotly a computer nut, I just want a hassle free life. I freely admit that the majority of functions on WindowsI never use. Like I said, I just want a no-hassle, up to date OS.
Is linux for me?
Hope to hear from you!

Ok, i have this question that makes me kinda anxious for a while now. I have 3 HD's on my system. The first one is a 35GB @10.000 rpm western digital and thats where my system resides. Only OS and Program files are stored there, i never save files on that HD and it really works fine. The Other 2 HD's are two identical 120Gb@7200rpm each western digital disks that a friend hooked up on RAID. Now, i know nothing about RAID, what i know is that those two disks are connected in a way that data is split in two and written half in one disk and half in the other theoritically in half the speed. I'm backing up my work (or atleast the crucial stuff) but i was wondering what will happen if one disk messes up or if C: messes up..what and where is the part where it united those two disks and makes sense out of all the files?
yada yada yada

I have 256 mb of RAM on my computer and I just purchased another 256 to give me 512 mb in total. But if I add this new one, not knowing if they are the exact same model as the other 256 mb one, will my computer run properly even though they are the same amount of memory, different types (DDR2 RAM) but they are not the same as the type that came with my computer. Please answer me????

I have a Dell inspiron 1200 and it sucks! I bought it less then a year ago and feel like tossing it out the window every time I use it. I have decided to get a new lap top; I have an old Compaq that a friend gave me that works well for its age, so I'm thinking about going with Compaq.

Any recommendations?

Tell me your experiences...

Hello,

I need to have password protection on a directory and all of its content and subfolders. Essentially it's a "client area" of a website. In this directory will contain regular php script files to display pages, but there will also be links to PDF files, and regular html websites for beta-testing, etc.

I need to be able to say http://www.site.com/client/client1/* is locked down to only those client1 users specified in a mysql database. For PHP scripts this should be fairly simple in that you can write code at the beginning to check for this. But links to PDF files, as well as running HTML files in these folders can't be handled by PHP.

Is there some sort of way in Apache to specify for a directory that a certain PHP script will execute PRIOR to the requested URL being allowed? This way, in this "script", I could put the authorization code in the script file.

Note: I cannot use .htaccess/htpasswd for this because I cannot have the htpasswd popup box, it needs to be a php form.
