So, last night I decided to give Ubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron another try. I blogged previously about setting it up and getting wireless to work, and what a nightmare it was What I did this time was this. First off, I have computers everywhere, a MacBook, MacBook Pro, Dell Desktop and Dell Laptop. I have [...]

Gah. I have a love hate relationship with Linux. It is pretty cool, can do pretty much everything. But.. But.. wireless support is just a joke. Same issues with Yellow Dog Linux on the PS3. Wireless should JUST WORK. I downloaded the 8.04 iso, and burnt it to cd. Installed it in windows, which is [...]

I have been using Microsoft’s Windows Vista since it came out RTM, Oct 30 2006. I had it on a Dell desktop, which worked fine. Some driver issues before January 2007, but it still worked. I have had it on my main Dell laptop since May 2007. I use this laptop for work (read: Visual [...]

Ok, I am not a big Linux guy, but I think it is cool, kinda easy to use, and has some useful things to it. Red Hat 9 is pretty sweet, pretty cool, from the guys at RedHat. Well, this past year they decided to split off to “Enterprise Linux”, and charge for the OS. [...]

Well, this is my first post from a Linux machine. I installed VMWare and I am running a redhat virtually on top of Windows XP. Pretty cool if you ask me. BTW, I am at “Hacker Training” all week, so hopefully I learn something!
