The Sys Admin

I upgraded my Kubuntu desktop to v 9.10 with no major issues however the upgrade did break my VMWare Workstation installation. I found a post called Vmware Workstation 6.5.3 on Unbuntu Karmic 9.10 on the aldeby.org/blog that fixed my problem. They outlined what to do when the VMWare installation hangs and it worked for me.

After a couple different hardware problems at work, I replaced my kubuntu desktop with a new Dell Optiplex GX755. This new PC has 4gig of ram and a 250gig hard drive. A clean install of Kubuntu went down nicely and I also installed the Gnome desktop to pull in many of the Gnome tools.

I just started at MIT in their application infrastructure services group and have been focusing on my new position more than my blogs. This weekend I started reading and came across a post from Kris at [...]

I have had a couple inquiries and suggestions after my last post however I have had no real written contributions. The one bright spot is a note that I received from Kris at Geekbits3. Kris is a system administrator and blogger from Australia that publishes a great blog that focuses on Unix and Linux management. [...]

I started this blog in April with the intent of providing additional resources to Linux, Unix, Windows and Network community. After taking inventory of all of my posts since April, most posts are Link related as opposed to content and discussion related. I have been focusing more on links as opposed to writing about How-To’s [...]
