Windows 7 Beta - Impressive

Thursday, January 15th, 2009

For the three of you that regularly read my blog you know that I am a Linux leaning geek.  Free is compelling but it is the community that keeps me coming back.  I am also Microsoft certified and realistic that if I want to be employed for a long period of time I need to [...]

Google Apps Email Pilot

Sunday, December 28th, 2008

Google Apps has a lot to offer but most important to our district is the ability to offload our email traffic on to the trusty Google servers.  I know Google is good but we need to make sure that everything works the way we want it to and that users are comfortable with using it.  [...]

Loving Emerald Theme Manager

Wednesday, December 24th, 2008

I was looking around for some wallpaper for Ubuntu (Human is pretty cool but I was looking for some spice).  I found a wallpaper mocking Microsoft with a Penguin carved into the grass of the default XP wallpaper.  While searching I came across Emerald Theme Manager.  It gives you some nice effects like the ones [...]

Ubuntu 8.10 on the Samsung NC10

Saturday, December 20th, 2008

Yet again the prodigal blogger has returned.  This time I have a fairly decent excuse.  I changed jobs.  I’m now running the technology for Addison Community Schools.  So far things have been great and I will have plenty of opportunities to put open source software to use.
One of my first tasks is to evaluate the [...]

As promised I took a look at 8.10 and I have to say that Ubuntu keeps knocking it out of the park.  I was initially dismayed that my wireless didn’t work and to be honest I don’t know how or if I fixed it.  When I initially did the upgrade I followed the guide provided [...]

Upgrading Subversion from 1.4.5 to 1.5.1

Monday, August 11th, 2008

I’m not a user of Subversion (one note: I do use subversion client to upgrade this WordPress blog. There is no easier way to upgrade WordPress!), I’ve never committed changes to any software, heck I’ve never programmed anything outside of changing scripts that others have written. I am, however, the administrator of our [...]

Back in the Ubuntu Saddle

Sunday, August 10th, 2008

It has been some time since I blogged about Ubuntu mainly because I work in a Windows world. However, I installed the Hardy Heron release (8.0.4) on my laptop again and I am happy to report that the video and wireless issues I have run into in the past are easier to overcome.
The hardware [...]

WinSCP - An FTP client that talks SSH

Saturday, April 12th, 2008

I use SSH a lot. Putty is the default client for command line work and is necessary on all Windows machines that I work on. However there are times when I need to grab a file off of a server that I may not have a web server on or don’t want to [...]

Zimbra Update

Friday, March 21st, 2008

For those of you that regularly read this blog (all 5 of you) my apologies for not posting lately. Honestly, I post when I have something to post. My geek brain needed a break after my work on the Zimbra email server.
I did want to update the progress on the testing. So [...]

34 Days! I can Hardy wait!

Friday, March 21st, 2008

As some of you will recall I have been testing Hardy Heron since Alpha and love it. Ubuntu Linux has knocked another one out of the park. Hardy is now in Beta and available from here. Obviously it is not a production release but I have run into very few problems and [...]
