As part of an unattended installation, it was necessary to install a binary nvidia graphics driver. This is a manual proces by default. However, it can be done fully automatic:

prerequisite: install xserver-xorg-dev package or similar xorg development package.

sh NVIDIA-.run -q -a -n -X -s

That's all there is to it. The -q option means quiet, the -a option means accept licence, the -n action suppresses questions, the -X option updates the xorg.conf file and the -s option disables the ncurses interface.

PPSS is a shell script that processess files or other items in parallel. It is designed to make use of the current multi-core CPUs. It will detect the number of available CPUs and start a thread for each CPU core.

This script is build with the goal to be very easy to use. Also, it must be robust (atomic), and portable. It employs a locking mechanism and runs on Linux and Mac OS X. It should work on other Unix-like operating system that support the bash shell.

20 DISK 18 TERRABYTE NAS

Just for fun, I've build myself an 18 TB NAS based on Debian Linux, software RAID, 20 disks and a Norco 4020 case.
