4.4TB of 1st gen XBOX games (about 880 games), its (the XBOX) mod'd of
course.

1.2TB (~760GB free) of Music (most of which I rip'd and encoded) in MP3
format with ISO conformance and the newVBR method and minimum 64Kbps and
maximum of 320Kbps. This is for devices that are picky about playback,
those devices being a Sony Xplod auto CD player, a Sandisk e250, an iPod
nano, my daughter's LG Chocolate (with 2gb microSD), my computers (all
Linux) and an old sandisk thumb-drive with audio output 256MB.

Another 1.1TB on a NAS device I built that has rip'd and DViX encoded
DVDs of kids shows and movies, for my wife's daycare stuff. And played
on the XBOX from the menu.

4.4TB + 1.2TB + 1.1TB == 6.7TB, all RAID5 or Better. It'd be a pain to
have to re-rip all that stuff.

Novell's Directory Services is a competitive product to Microsoft's
Active Directory in much the same way that the Saturn V is a competitive
product to those dinky little model rockets that kids light off down at
the playfield. -- Thane Walkup
