Fedora 7, How do I love thee?
Oh joy, I finally decided to take the plunge and upgrade to Fedora 7 on my laptop. I was really nervous because my previous experience upgrading from Fedora Core 5 to FC6 was harrowing at best. Lots of errors and other junk happened back then.
But this…. this –was flawless. So simple, so [...]
APlus.net - Don’t buy your domain from them!
I generally don’t recommend or (as in this case) tell people to avoid a particular vendor. Generally, my comments are kept to tutorials and simple to complex configurations, or stories about my failures so that others might learn from me.In this case, I pretty much want to rip APlus.net a new one!

Fedora 7 Disk Labels and more
I’ve been curious lately as to how I could print labels for my Fedora 7 DVDs. Because I am officially a Fedora Ambassador for Utah, I would like to give out nice looking DVDs with labels on them. Well, I found a very nice lady who’s put up eps versions of such labels and I [...]

Fedora People Rule!

End of Summer BBQ
Hi all,
It’s actually been a while since I’ve posted anything here and I thought I’d better let anyone listening know about the annual BBQ Otis and I hold down at our house in Springville.

Am I a Hotel Snob, or am I Justified? You Decide!!
So recently I went on a trip to New Mexico for work. You know, the normal ’spend a week in a good hotel’ type week.
I have never before stayed in a La Quinta Inn (for work) and was a little skeptical, but figured it might be a good place to stay. Boy was [...]
