Installing a lot of peripherals on your CPU may not always be feasible especially if you don’t have the proper power to support it. For most people, this is an overlooked aspect especially if you own a desktop that has the default power supply of 400 watts. All power supplies have a certain limit and while you are fond of wanting to have additional parts like TV tuners, separate sound cards or any other card that can fit into the spare PCI slots, be sure to measure the level of power that each card needs.

This is one reason why the need to upgrade to higher capacity power supplies in the market exists. Normally, power supplies can be offered up to 700 watts and you have to wonder why such a high powered wattage is needed. Well, the answer really lies in the fact that provisions for added parts normally require power for them to function.

Depending on the use of a PC, it is common to see these options available anyone especially if you are a techie geek. Apparently all people are concerned about is add-ons, negating the need to provide equal attention towards system requirements that are normally indicated on the box of these extra parts when purchased.

So if one day you find your computer suddenly blacking out with no power, chances are you blew more than a fuse. Either your power supply has given up or some other part (hopefully not the motherboard!) may have been fried. Now that is something you don’t want so just be wise when you add on to your computer. Check out the power requirements.

On large systems with many users, you need to control the amount of disk space a user has access to. Disk quotas are designed specifically for this purpose. Quotas, managed per each partition, can be set for both individual users as well as groups; quotas for the group need not be as large as the aggregate quotas for the individuals in the groups.
When files are created, both a user and a group own them; ownership of the files is always part of the metadata about the files. This makes quotas based on both users and groups easy to manage.

To manage disk quotas, you must have the quota and quotatool packages installed on your system. Quota management with Ubuntu is not enabled by default and has traditionally been enabled and configured manually by system administrators. Sysadmins use the family of quota commands, such as quotacheck to initialize the quota database files, edquota to set and edit user quotas, setquota to configure disk quotas, and quotaon or quotaoff to control the service. (Other utilities include warnquota for automatically sending mail to users over their disk space usage limit.)


Implementing Quotas
To reiterate, quotas might not be enabled by default, even if the quota software package is installed on your system. When quotas are installed and enabled, you can see which partitions have either user quotas, group quotas, or both by looking at the fourth field in the /etc/fstab file. For example, one line in /etc/fstab shows that quotas are enabled for the /home partition:

/dev/hda5 /home ext3 defaults,usrquota,grpquota 1 1

The root of the partition with quotas enabled will have the files quota.user or quota.group in them (or both files, if both types of quotas are enabled), and the files will contain the actual quotas. The permissions of these files should be 600 so that users cannot read or write to them. (Otherwise, users would change them to allow ample space for their music files and Internet art collections.) To initialize disk quotas, the partitions must be remounted. This is easily accomplished with the following:

$ sudo mount -o ro,remount partition_to_be_remounted mount_point

The underlying console tools (complete with man pages) are

• quotaon, quotaoff—Toggles quotas on a partition.

• repquota—A summary status report on users and groups.

• quotacheck—Updates the status of quotas (compares new and old tables of disk usage); it is run after fsck.

• edquota—A basic quota management command.


Manually Configuring Quotas
Manual configuration of quotas involves changing entries in your system’s file system table, /etc/fstab, to add the usrquota mount option to the desired portion of your file system. As an example in a simple file system, quota management can be enabled like this:

LABEL=/ / ext3 defaults,usrquota 1 1

Group-level quotas can also be enabled by using the grpquota option. As the root operator, you must then create a file (using our example of creating user quotas) named quota.user in the designated portion of the file system, like so:

$ sudo touch /quota.user

You should then turn on the use of quotas using the quotaon command:

$ sudo quotaon -av

You can then edit user quotas with the edquota command to set hard and soft limits on file system use. The default system editor (vi unless you change your EDITOR environment variable) will be launched when editing a user’s quota. Any user can find out what their quotas are with

$ quota -v

For the novice computer owner, you would wonder when needed patches for Microsoft products end? Was this a loophole that Gates and company overlooked or are they doing it on purpose? As a customer, you are really left with little options since the normal reply given would be “Working to Protect Your Interest”.

Using that note, it is apparent that most people would calm down and understand the situation. A lot of the blame would be pointed towards viruses, spyware and of course the ingenious hackers that are spread in society today. Just like any ordinary company that makes use of technology, the need to update and ensure the level of security is a big must!

Well, generally, you cannot pin the blame entirely on Microsoft business developers. For a system or software to be perfect, security flaws cannot be completely covered at first glance. Like it or not, the current number of threats that are known over the web do their own way of making any Windows environment improve for the better. The only problem is we are being used as bait in the process and if we are not prepared, chances are we will pay dearly for it.

So if you are among the people who hate these constant patch updates, just consider them as protecting your own interest as a certified Microsoft product user. It may seem inconvenient for you at times but you just have to if you don’t want disaster to strike in your various files and computer programs installed.
