Linux

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

It seems that my latest webcam pic, which was taken after a successful install of Red Hat 7.1 as a “play and learn” installation, has gotten the attention of non other than Lockergnome’s head Penguin himself, Tony Steidler-Dennison. Like I said in Tony’s comments, I’m still getting paid to be a Windows guy but what’s life without a little variety? 🙂

Heck now that Angela has got a Mac in the house and I’ve got Red Hat installed on a partition of my Win98 machine we officially have 3 different flavors of Windows, and 2 non-Windows OS’s running in our house. (Yeah there’s only two of us, does that make us OS hogs? *L*) So there are plenty of learning opportunities right in my own home! (That doesn’t include the NT Server and XP Pro I have at work to learn with as well!)

Oh, and as far as Tony’s comment on his own post, just keep writing the newsletter dude, that’s been a source of help already!

  • Flamebait?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    Yeah it probably is flamebait but after Angela’s experience this morning, and a long conversation with our Graphics person at work, (the only Mac machine in the office) I gotta say, Mac OS X has been quite the disappointment. Actually, it’s not OS X so much as it is the “Classic Mac” which is supposed…

  • A sign

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    When you work in IT for awhile you start to learn to read the signs. Today, I saw one of them, and thought I’d pass along the insight. When your boss heads into your office carrying a pile of IT product marketing materials, you my friend, are about to do a LOT of reading and…

  • My contribution to the RSS bandwidth question

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    As discussed in the comments, using Bloglines might be considered a better way to limit the bandwidth I use in checking on feeds, since it checks once an hour and shares the feed with all of the subscribers to that feed. So I decided to give it a try. It’s better than I thought it…
