Bleh -- 9:05 am CST, Update by The Master

I got my extended home network wired on Sunday (man, cutting that drywall was tough), and I fired up my old server box for the first time in quite a while. Installing Fedora Core 5 on there was a failure with CDs--the Fedora CDs are so full that the old CDROM on this box couldn't read them past the hour mark. I ended up building a mirror FTP server on my XP box, and doing a remote install using VNC and FTP to my XP machine. This worked REALLY well. I just have to get X and the firewall configured properly on here.

The more I look at Linux, the more excited I get about it. I need to upgrade my PCs power supply and add a SATA HD, then I'm going to setup my machine to dual-boot Linux and XP, with Umbuntu being my main partition. I'm really looking forward to the switch. Linux feels like it's finally hit the tipping point, where the software is mature enough to make a Windows switch possible.
