Right after my laptop went blue screen of death on me … I received a replacement laptop. Unfortunately the replacement is paired off into a Windows domain that has very restrictive policies. Which means, no installing extra programs, no playing around with OSS. This can be a bummer, especially when I need work requires me to interact with a Linux machine over ssh.
So instead of trying to fit an OSS peg into a Windows hole … I’m just going to try getting Linux working on the machine. This will be a challenge since the wireless card doesn’t have full support. But the nice thing about dual-booting is that I only have to carry around one machine, yet still be able to have access to all the Linux goodness (whoami? i am root) and Windows-specific apps (using Wine) while booted into Fed0ra 10.
I’ll be updating this blog with my success (or failure!) stories on getting Fedora 10 to play nice with Windows on the same machine. In case you are wondering to yourself … why bother? Let me leave you with this:
From desire, ariseth the thought of some means we have seen produce the like of that which we aim at; and from the thought of that, the thought of means to that mean; and so continually, till we come to some beginning within our own power. Hobbes, Leviathan.No related posts.
