Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

if these drives are so cheap, is there a reason?
I was going to say that the prices you originally quoted
a Western Digital 320Gb 8Mb cache 5,400 rpm drive for $140, or a Seagate 200Gb 16Mb cache 7,200 rpm drive for $125.were rather expensive.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
What's the difference between a network location and a workgroup in Vista Home? I have both of mine set to one value on the Vista box, but it shows my Ubuntu box as being in the workgroup MSHOME, with the network location being the different and correct value.
I have edited smb.conf and changed the network parameter--where else could the MSHOME be coming from?
