I've gotten the latest drivers, but there is a delay when keys are tapped on the tables, sometimes Traktor ignores the key ...

Building the PC, formating, mounting, finding cd rom, finding out I can't use cd-rom because my cd is corrupt, finding way to install Ubuntu from flash drive, finding out I can't mkfs on 2 drives at t...

Thanks Ron2k and everybody else for replies.

We currently have a hosted (by IS) ftp server, but the fileserv...
