Yes, that’s the Ubuntu Virtual Machine loading in the VMWare Player on my laptop. So far, so good on using it, being able to mount the Windows shares from my laptop and work on things. The only things that bug me right now are that I can’t seem to open files and save them directly to the Windows shares from the virtual machine, I have to make a copy in the Linux file system and copy that back over to Windows, and VMWare player doesn’t support wireless cards. That’s ok, it’ll still be a good learning experience, and I can play KBattleship anytime, any place! *L*

    Remember last week when I told you I was going to check out PC Inspector File Recovery? Well this morning, I was able to succesfully recover files off a damaged floppy disk for a co-worker using it. That is what I call useful! Upon further reflection though, I notice that it won’t let me recover…

  • Knoppix

    Oh yeah the Knoppix CD has been burned and I did do a quick boot using it on my work machine, just to make sure I had a good CD. The setup didn’t find any soundcard. I’ve yet to have any Linux install configure the integrated audio on any of my PC’s that have that….
