{play 34:08}Viewer Questions
Viewer Question: I have a friend who is starting a business, and I'm trying to determine the best way to economically perform his backups for a lot of data. Do you suggest a NAS device? Or should I backup to DVDs or utilize the cloud? A couple of the technologies mentioned:
- unRAID: Episode 103
- rdiff-backup: www.nongnu.org/rdiff-backup
- Pogoplug: cat5.tv/pogoplug
Viewer Question: I am the viewer who previously asked about using Gnash to watch Category5.TV live. What I had meant is that I wanted to use the Gnash browser plugin, but it doesn't work with Flash 10+ video streams. Is it possible to stream Category5.TV using an older version of Flash or an alternative option?
Viewer Comment: Here is a picture of me with the year supply of Eco Alkalines batteries I won during your 5th Anniversary Celebration. Thanks for the great show!

Viewer Question: I am trying to print this calendar from Firefox using the little "Print" icon on the page, but it doesn't look the same in print as it does on my screen. How can I get it to print properly?
Viewer Question: On Episode 266 you showed how to setup a mountpoint for a samba share and it worked great. Now, I'd like to replace my Documents folder with a network share, but had no luck. Could you show me where I went wrong?
