I have a Dell PowerEdge server that I set up from scratch (I'm a web server newbie, mostly). It has 4 HD's. The C: is a RAID 1 and the E: is a RAID 1. Thus, 4 physical disks used to create 2 virtual SCSI containers. Before installing Windows, I used Dells' SCSI controller to create the RAIDs...

I've made a newbie assumption that I need to install gcc (also available in the ports collection) I'm thinking this will supply the libgcc file that is missing for linuxthreads... Anyone have any comments on what "libgcc" is a part of? Is it related to "gcc" at all? I'm...

I'm a newbie- so this may be the right answer to the wrong question.. but my OS version for FreeBSD shows up on my Telnet welcome screen when I log in.

I'm a FreeBSD newbie (it's a vitural private server, while it is shared in one sense, I have root access to my portion of it) Anyways, I'm trying to install MySQL 4.0 and am taking advanatage of using "linuxthreads" when I build it. Both MySQL 4 and it's dependent package...

I bought an EPSON 960 (I forget the actual number.. it's nine hundred something... ) earlier this year from Best Buy and have been very pleased with the output. No, this isn't large format printing. But you would be hard pressed to tell the difference between the output of this printer and a...

oh yeah.. almost forgot... 16. Now that your background image is perfect. Go to "FILE" menu and select "Save For Web..." option. 17. A pseudo-ImageReady module will pop-up which will help you create a GIF or JPG file for the web. All of the options are going to be on the...

I'm assuming you know how to create new layers and use the "dotted rectangle" selection tool. 1. Create New Photoshop Document (assuming most folks see web pages on 800 x 600 monitors, make your document size about 780 pixels wide by 410 pixels high - which is all the space you have...

if you choose to save out the Photoshop file as a PDF, it may give you an option to save the text layers as independent fonts; which would help you achieve the affect I mentioned in my last post. I believe I have done this with mixed success. If there were special raster effects applied to the...

viol8ion is right. Once upon a time, in older versions of Photoshop, if you wanted crisp text you would use another application like Adobe Illustrator; PageMaker or Quark XPress to create the text. Then, import the Photoshop picture (usually saved as TIFF or EPS) onto a box or layer, and then...

As far as cameras go, I haven't shopped for anything lately, so I don't know what's out there. I just wanted to say that about a year ago I bought the Canon PowerShot G2 and have been EXTREMELY happy with it.

To do most image processing like what you've described, I would definitely take blueark's advice. However, if you need to do some more complex image manipulation and you like to write JavaScript or VBScript, etc. You can download a special package (for free) from Adobe. It's called...

If you have Adobe Illustrator, you can import your Photoshop document into a new Illustrator document (you may be able to import PSD format, or it may work better to save it out as EPS). In illustrator, 1.) create a new document. 2.) in pop-up box which follows: Specify the final size of the...

I'm an illustrator, and I love what Illustrator can do as far as crisp, vector line-art is concerned. Used it for 10+ years and love it. I would never think of it being very "painterly" however. Especially after I found some pre-sets in Photoshop... Try this: open new Photoshop 7...

As for the little preview that the camera shows on screen... it's almost always sharp because it is reduced. So, if you're just posting something to the web, probably by the time you reduce it back down to web resolution it may very well look pretty sharp again. Reduction is a great way to...

I find there's generally no making up for a blurred picture (although PSD's unsharp mask is very good for slight blur). For my digital camera (canon G2), if I use a flash, the picture is almost guaranteed to be crisp. However, a flash makes for harsh lighting and unnatural cast shadows. So...
