PC Projects- Ubuntu Linux on Dell Laptop

Submitted by tachyon on March 31, 2006 - 9:33am

There was an extra Dell at work, so I formatted it and installed Ubuntu Flight 4.

It crusied along nicely, then choked on the kernel. Then it presented me with a choice of 3 kernels, so I chose the bottom one because it had a version number in it.

That seemed to work fine.

Boots into Ubuntu fine! Now I want to update it to the latest release, by Synaptic Package manager doesn't seem to work. So I need to change the repositories that it is looking in to get the updates. Why does it have to be so convoluted!

*ugh*

I have been working on a website for the last week with a new ISP Server (pweb.info) and also been contributing to the forum http://macforum.pweb.info/. Recently we have had a bot run thru the system and destroy *almost* every site that was on the server. This means that the macforums site AND most of everyone else (including pweb's OWN forums) sites had their PHP MySQL Databases erased. Most people did not have backups, or if they did on the server that they used for their site, it was wiped too.

So I have a Job

As of today, I work at the Seaside Company, AKA the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk in Santa Cruz, California.
This is my first real job, I'm slightly scared.

Anyway, I'm real excited and I thought I'd share the news.
