So i was going through my spam folder and i noticed an e-mail saying that someone had posted to my blog. So i thought who the heck would post to my blog. So i went and checked it out and it was someone that wanted info on a free blogging system... and oh ya here is a link to a porn site. I was like funny. So i logged in and removed the post. Sorry you cannot view it. No that you should want to. I guess this is what you get when you have a site on the net. I will see if there are some updates that i can put on my system. Oh how i enjoy updating things. L8er

Well i just got done working on my first Debian system install. I really like these systems. Very easy to install and work with, apt-get is great. I did have to change a few things to get them to look the way i want, but that is to be expected. I have a few more machines that are going to get upgraded, so i will most likely be putting Debian on them. So out with RedHat and in with Debian. Other than that nothing new in the computer world.

Talking about cool. I now upgraded my Freevo box to the latest 1.5.0 and it is very nice. I still need to work on a few things, and also maybe drop in the newsgroup and ask some questions. I use this for everything, from playing my Ogg Vorbis music, playing dvd's, and watching tv shows. I want to add some functions to it myself, but this will have to wait until i am done with some other projects. I still want to buy a new box for this, but need more time. I have purchased allot of new things in the past few weeks, and need to put more money back into the bank. Well not much more to report on. So have a nice day and stay out of trouble. B)

Well i have finally had it with RedHat. I have used there system for a very long time, but now this relationship is over. I have a client that is upgrading there server, so i went and ordered a new version of RedHat Linux for them. The price was way more than what i believe should be for the system, and in my opinion they have not added any more value 2 the system. Also what are they thinking. Ya Linux is great, and all the software that comes with it is great as well. But I cannot install Linux on my workstation and go buy Avid DV Pro, or Autodesk's AutoCAD. Macromedia apps are also missing. Ya i can run some with Wine, but that just doesn't cut it. I want native apps. It's not Linux's fault here, but RedHat making a decision to charge $179 just for a workstation version is just nuts. And it does not leave an easy entry point for new users to try the system. What i mean is, I have a new project that the company has given me. I believe that Linux is the best solution. So i go and download a copy and build a demo with it. Now RedHat wants to charge me $179 just for a workstation verstion of there system, well this is a server so i want the server version. Well allot more money is needed. So now just to do a demo using RedHat i need to fork out a load of cash. Since the managment is not all comfy with Linux they do not want to invest in something they feel will not work. That is why i am moving 2 Debian. RedHat you don't have the app base to justify that cost! Well i will keep a list of how far i get with Debian. I also will be working on changing all my documentation over to that system. Something new 2 learn, and looks allot better than Fedora. Oh well. I hope someone hits RedHat with a clue stick before they destroy themselves. Well i will post more about this l8er
