64bit Fedora 10

Tuesday, February 24th, 2009

Last night i finally had a few mins spare to install the new ram into my laptop and install 64bit Fedora 10, as usual with Fedora installs, everything went as smoothly as i would have expected.

It also means that i have a 64bit Version that i can send to people when they request free media i didn't have it before

Just to continue my inane rabbiting on :) Come say hello i can be found on irc.freenode.net in #fedora-ambassadors or #fedora irc nick is MooDoo :)

Extra Ram and 64bit Fedora

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

Today i’ve just purchased another 2gb of ram to put in my laptop, it already has 2gb so the upgrade isn’t really needed but hay, 4gb, why not. :)

I’ve also downloaded the 64bit version of Fedora 10 which i’m going to use instead of the 23bit version i’m currently using….lets see the difference….imho i’m not really sure i’ll notice anything as i’m not really doing anything intensive on it. But you can never have enough ram :)

Updates later

Fedora10 Upgrade + aMSN

Wednesday, February 11th, 2009

A friend and work collegue upgraded his desktop system to Fedora 10, which in itself is good news, however being a fan of aMSN it broke…FAIL :)

Being the genius that he is, he’s fixed it, scouring google there was no single tutorial to help but many each with a differnet fix. Cutting to the chase, he’s got it working again and you can see from his guide here.how he did it.

Changes afoot?

Tuesday, February 3rd, 2009

I left school when i was 16/17 and went straight to work, i didn’t go to Uni but was placed at IBM on what was then the YTS Youth Training Scheme, since then, i’m now 36, i’ve been doing tech support in one form or another, from desktop support to server support linux and windows, my question is: have i done my time? If you were to think about a career change, what would you do?
