Is there anyone in the Hamilton area who could spare some time (in person) to help a linux newbie? I've been dabbling with a new computer, and I've done everything I needed to do with the exception of RAID-1 and DHCP. I have a feeling I've also stuffed up something, as I've got an external eSATA hard drive (for backups) which doesn't auto-mount, and I can't figure it out.
A great source for Ubuntu help is their community wiki: Raid1 - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/RAID1 DHCP - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DnsAndDhcpServer
I'm sorry to say I'm a bit tight on the old wallet this week, but anyone who lends a hand will get a nice cup of coffee, and their choice of a couple classic linux books I've got hanging around. I live in the Hillcrest area, but I'm quite happy to meet elsewhere if desired.
If no one else offers to help you at your home, you can always bring your computer along to the Saturday workshop and we'll see what we can do. We'll even provide you with coffee :-) http://wlug.org.nz/SaturdayWorkshop.2007-06-09 -- simon
