Remember that new hardware I wrote about the other day? The idea, at the time, was to run the Vista beta 2. Except it didn’t install. OK, if I run another OS I can do it in Virtual PC and forget all this dual boot nonsense, right? Er… Ubuntu doesn’t work in Virtual PC, at least on my computer - I get a kernel panic on the install. Debian is installing OK so far - I’m using the network install. We’ll see how it goes.
While I was in the installing mood, I decided to finally take advantage of Microsoft Virtual Server R2, which is so free I don’t even have to hunt for the MSDN disks. I think they only officially support Suse and Red Hat, but I’m (apparently) in a Debian mood:
I ran Linux pretty much exclusively from 1995 to 1999, but I really haven’t kept up, so this will be exciting. All I know about Debian is it’s what Dreamhost runs (and even that I’m not sure about…)
I haven’t had the best of luck with these things as of late, but we’ll see how it goes. The end goal is to get Asterix working on one of the images to make use of that Unlimitel number I bought last month ($2.50 a month for a phone number is pretty decent, I reckon).
