Also in the order with the new graphics card was our long awaited replacement for our MP3 server, an Eee Box from Asus. They’re great little machines with an Intel Atom processor so their power consumption is very low and they’re almost silent. Oh and it has blue LEDs! The old out going Pentium 3 server machine, running Fedora, was getting noisy, not good for Steven’s room and his music recording.

I upgraded the XP Home to Pro and copied the 80gb of MP3s to it, so we’re almost ready to swap it out and remap our network drives to it’s MP3 share.
The first attempt to copy the MP3s failed, out of space. Out of the box, the Eee Box is setup with three partitions, C: OS, D: Data and E: Restore. I quick Partition Magic session dumped the D partition and extended C to 150gb or so. That’s better.
