I promised that I would try the full install version of CentOS 5.4 desktop on my thinkpad and didn’t want to disappoint, so here it is… I actually had a really hard time with this one. That is not to say that I believe that there is an issue somehow with CentOS, but certainly something […]
Let me preface this by saying that I use Linux almost exclusively as my desktop at home and at work (I have a mac too). My wife uses Linux exclusively as her desktop. Many of my friends and coworkers use Linux as their default desktop as well. That being said, is 2009 the year of […]
Yes, another in the junker series on my T23. I *finally* got around to playing a bit with the new Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala. I know, based on the date of the posts, that it’ll look like I am doing a distribution a day (magic of dated publishing), but I have had this running a […]
In my continuing saga of Linux distributions and testing on my trusty, crusty Thinkpad T23, I tried out CentOS 5.4 Live. Now many of you already know that I have developed a sort of love affair with CentOS as a wonderful alternative to paying for enterprise class Linux. Then again, I am RedHat certified, so […]
I think one of the things that is going to help me post a bit more this month is my ThinkPad T23. This was my most favorite laptop some 4 years ago maybe and the display just stopped working one day. I held onto it for a few months and then landed my new job […]

I remember several people at OLF recently telling me that they were hurting for / looking for some work. Well, I get hounded by headhunters quite often and would gladly pass stuff on to those people who are interested, but I need to know who you are 🙂 Send me an email at linc dot […]
It’s been a while since I last posted. I have been pretty sick for a week or so. A couple weeks ago I had to make a quick run to Microcenter and, while there, I spied these on their discount software shelf for $3 a piece. Nice to see Linux disks in places other than […]
When I decided I wanted to do this new show thing and do it in video, I didn’t know what I was really in for. Then as I started playing a little with video and wanted to stick a snippet on the web, I was sure I was in trouble. This is a collection of […]
Due to the overwhelming response of 4 people on the idea of doing a Linux System Administration show, I have decided to do it anyway. I know – glutton for punishment. I believe I will do this in a video format, or I will at least try. I need to work out just how to […]
