Don’t you just hate that?

So I went to see if I could start a download of Knoppix this morning and discovered that I was getting a whopping 1.9KB/second download speed on the CD image. Gee at that rate I’d be ready to burn the thing sometime next week! A quick switch of mirrors has me at a much better 30KB/second download speed. Let’s see if we can keep it up and have the image ready by the time I leave at 5? 🙂

If not, I’ll burn it tomorrow when I come in and then I’ll have it to use all summer, assuming I don’t find another job in the meantime.

I made a quick house call after work on Friday to discover the reason that her wireless mouse/keyboard…

    Linux piracy?

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    This is starting to get interesting. Is there proprietary Unix code inside of Linux and are all Linux users pirates? On the face of it that seems somewhat ridiculous, but if it’s in the courts, anything’s possible. SCO hasn’t gone public with their evidence, so it’s hard to say for sure what’s going to happen….
