Network booting + NFS root with Mandriva
I've been running a version of Mandriva on my VIA EPIA machine for a number of years but recently the question came up on the Cooker mailing list so I thought I'd pull my finger out and actually document this a little!
We Came, Warsaw, We Conquered!
I met this guy at Meadowbank. He was out in the field and was carrying a massive stick, so I asked him: "Are you a Pole Vaulter?", he replied, "No, I'm German, but how did you know my name was Walter?" Ahh the old ones are the best... or maybe not!!
Anyway, read on and bask in the delights of a Polish excursion that
lasted only three days but shortened life expectancy by about three
years..... each.
Aiming High
Well that's about the sixth time I've seen Aim and they just keep getting better!
Eye Candy Shop
Hmmmmmm, eye candy!!!
For those of you who know me, you'll appreciate that I don't use any Microsoft products and run Linux on all my computers.
It's oft been said that we don't have a good graphical environment on Linux but I have to say it's pretty darn good in my opinion...
Mandriva is my Bitch
Well, I seem to be getting my fingers into quite a few Open Source pies of late, but I've now finally pulled my finder out and become an official Mandriva Contributer. I've basically been doing this for ages but never officially, so at least others can now benefit from the setup I spend my time getting working.
Hitting the Water (face first)
Summer time again and another trip up to Charlie's Watersports is called for!
Can't beat it - a sneaky day off work and just happen to get one of the nicer days for the last few weeks...
Festival
Well once again Edinburgh has doubled in size for a month or so and all manner of weird and wonderful shows and events occured.
Managed to get a few shows in this year and frequented the good old Spiegel Tent a fair bit too....
Wedding Bells
Not for me! But for my Mum.
We all had a great day, my mum looked lovely and there were no hiccups!
