Love poorly written, pointless, uninteresting wittering? This is the stuff for you.

looqs Meebox / "Novatech 500GB Home Storage NAS"

A few weekends ago I picked up the looqs Meebox from Novatech. I would link to the looqs site, but as of the time of writing it's currently unavailable because they've not renewed the domain (edit: this is now resolved).

I've been the happy owner of a Gigabyte GA-HA65M-UD3H-B3 for a little while, however any drives connected to the Marvell 88SE9172 chipset have never been recognised.

Whilst it's possible to get Debian, and by proxy Ubuntu, running under Hyper-V it's nice to see that Microsoft are potentially going to officially support them along side CentOS, Red Hat and SuSE.

It's hardly a first, but I did find some of the information out there a bit spread out. So, just incase I need to go through this again, I figured a 'blog post might be interesting - doubly so as I've not really got anything interesting from work, that I can blog about at the moment!
