Two free computers
by Greg Brooks 04 Dec '09

04 Dec '09

I've got a couple of old desktop computers I want to clear out -- free to whoever wants to drive up to Plattsburg and get 'em. * Dell Optiplex GX1 (I think) desktop. 512 mb RAM / PII or PIII (can't recall). CD (no write capability) /floppy, built-in video. Capacity for two drives, but the drives will be pulled before it's given away. Built like a tank (like most of the older Optiplex line) and was in service for several years as a mailserver/fileserver. * HP, tower form factor. PIII processor (speed unknown -- too lazy to boot it up and find out). CD (no write capability), floppy and DAT 24 tape drives. Hard drive will be pulled before it's given away. Most recently served as a Windows server and domain controller for a 12-employee business. Contact me offlist if interested in one or both. Thanks! Greg

Sugar in a VM
by Jack 02 Dec '09

02 Dec '09

Has anyone run Sugar in a VM? I'm thinking about giving my daughter a VM session, and having it run Sugar? I understand it's very kid friendly. On that subject, has anyone ever launched a VM directly from X? Or do I need to plan on making it something that runs after she logs into her KDE/Gnome session? So far I've only run VMs from inside of KDE. Although I don't see why I couldn't do it from a VT shell. Jack

What do you think of Fedora making all users capable of installing arbitrary packages w/o root access?

Evidently, someone decided to remove e100 driver firmware from the 2.6.30 kernel. Thanks to jclinton for physically going down to NetStandard and getting the box up and running!

As a fun project I decided to promote Linux on Halloween. About 30 minutes with the dremel and a pattern from the web. http://www.pumpkinlady.com/tuxpattern.htm

I'm adding temporary join moderation in order to prevent this happening again. At this rate SPAM bots will become the most intelligent life on the planet. :-/
