DebbieToo, A New Serverbaby, Is Running.
Blog Installed Debian 4 (etch) on Debbie's hard drive and this time I did it the easy way. My DSL line is twice the speed it was at the time I started this whole thing. So it loaded and installed almost faster than installing the CDROM ISO version of...

A Challenge To All Linux Users In The World
Blog Comment Slaving over a hot DVD/CD Burner making WHS-Stew Well it looks as if everything for Windows Home Server RC1 got burned onto DVD-R and CD-R's OK. Discs are all readable. Then I realized that my Celeron test machine doesn't have a DVD reader!

Google Desktop Search Beta
Talkback A computer tech hanging on to an operating system that is reaching it's end of life, sounds rather daft to me. Win98SE was maybe the best option in the late ninetees, but running it on a modern 2 GHz P4 system is like driving with the handbrake on.
