Hi, I ran out of disk space on ext3.? I was able to allocate 2 more gig of?space in VMvare to use for Ubuntu.? ?When I go to the disk partition menu under Gparted, I see "ext3" and "unallocated space".? Can I integrate the unallocated space into the original ext3 to extend the original?3 giB to toal 5 gib?

That's not Apple's fort?. Well, Apple is price competitive if you compare apples to apples, so to speak. Apple's prices are very competitive with comparable offerings from Dell, HP, Lenovo.? But it's true that Apple doesn't do low end.? Netbooks can't deliver the user experience that Apple wants to deliver -- and the fact that hackintoshed netbooks are favorably compared to Apple's state of the art 4 generations back is proof of that. :) --Rich P. ------------------------------ Message: 2 Date: Wed, 25 Nov 2009 07:41:57 -0500 From: Jerry Feldman <gaf-mNDKBlG2WHs at public.gmane.org> Subject: Re: Minor printer issue Fedora 12 possibly firewall or ???

If so, then work back from there. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf-mNDKBlG2WHs at public.gmane.org> Boston Linux and Unix PGP key id: 537C5846 PGP Key fingerprint: 3D1B 8377 A3C0 A5F2 ECBB?

Not unduly so; temperatures do remain within tolerances for the hardware.? So they do run hot under load.? The lower base fan speeds make a noticeable difference in battery life and noise level -- the two reasons Apple does it that way. Just as a data point, I'm currently running a video encode on my MacBook Pro (Early 2008/Penryn).? iStat Pro says that the CPU temp is 78C.? The maximum operating temperature for the CPU is 95C so that's well within tolerances. Apple uses a lot more metal than other manufacturers in the casings (even in the polycarbonate-hulled MacBooks) and all that metal draws a lot of heat away from the main board.? This is good because radiant cooling of the electronics is cheaper than running fans, but it does mean that MacBooks are warmer to the touch than the competition. --Rich P. ------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss-mNDKBlG2WHs at public.gmane.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss End of Discuss Digest, Vol 25, Issue 29 ***************************************
