So I'm attempting to build a linux media server and so far it's been pretty painful. The goals are to have it able to stream media to a variety of clients, including Pc's and hopefully my xbox 360, share files securely, and be accesible from outside the LAN. To expand this I would like to at the very least password protect everything as it's getting dumped into a University LAN environment.
Share Folder from Windows 7 to Ubuntu 10.04 Guest with Virtual Box
This is how I shared a folder from a Windows 7 host to a Ubuntu 10.04 guest. This is great for my overall goal of running a Virtual Ubuntu Server on my Windows desktop for FTP, DLNA, HTTP, and whatever else I find handy.
Wind Mobile/Telus/Bell/Rogers Phone support
With Wind Mobile now available and covering some of the Vancouver area I'm looking for an awesome android phone to work with their network(1700mhz), however I also need it to work on Telus/Bell/Rogers
(850/900/1900/2100mhz I believe)as during summer semester I will be out of their coverage and need to swap sims. So far the uberphones to contend with seem to be a Motorola Droid X, Motorola Droid 2, or a Samsung Galaxy S. Hopefully there will be a few more phones out by the time September rolls around and I can choose from. The other thing to contend with is making sure the phones support all the carrier frequencies.
