To cure my boredom, I’m posting an inconclusive fix to an issue (or feature?) I’ve experienced using the PuTTY terminal emulator/SSH client for Microsoft Windows.

Windows Home Server, based on Windows Server 2003 Small Business Edition “minus the Exchange mail server”, has been released. This raises a number of questions in my head: Will the new category of Home Server hardware, combined with presumably easy to understand support for multi-disk redundancy be the ultimate backup solution Normal People and Very [...]
