Looking for the Beer at the End of Geekiness I woke up this morning with the sincere hope that I would be greeted with what happened yesterday.  Unfortunately, that was not meant to be.  That would not have been so bad if I had not taken the invite to drink yesterday afternoon while the snow was still falling.  Damn you, my fellow drunks!  Work has been somewhat slow today.  It allowed me to get SuSE 9.2 Professional installed on a machine in my office.  By the way, if you are installing Linux on a Dell Optiplex GX270, make sure your BIOS is at the latest and greatest version.  Apparently, there is some sort of bug where the display refuses to work properly.  Of course, Dell complicated matters by no longer having a bootable floppy image containing the BIOS update.  I was able to get around that, and it is working just as it should.  Now, I get to see if I can get Hula working on it, among other things--FTP.  That way I can hook up my peeps when they need stuff.  Also, this server will be the server that I test the upcoming Novell Open Enterprise Server release.  Yes, my geekiness continues.  I cannot wait until later to enjoy frosty goodness.  3:22:47 PM    comment []  trackback []
