The reason I was busy at work is that I was getting ready for two
different trips to conduct three different training courses.
Last week I was down in Mexico City to present some training to folks
from Latin and Central America on one of our new products. Next month, I
head off to Lost Wages, er, Las Vegas, for our major conference and two
different training courses, while supporting a third.
That, and the fact the two oldest kids are in swim team right now, free
time has drop to null.
Well, Something broke on the main computer. The speed when trying to run a few terminal apps, firefox, and thunderbird at the same time was appalling. I never had that sort of performance issues under ArchLinix on the same kit. I would love to take the time to debug it, but I am almost four weeks behind in dealing with my photos, including those from my trip to England, and I am getting ready to do run some training courses for work which will suck up all my free time.
I am re-installing Arch on the two laptops. I should have restored working configs in a day or two, and then I can start working on my backlog of photo and other projects.
Also, since my laptops are not supported under 10-RELEASE, I want to wait until 10.1 to see if my WLAN NICs are supported.
I still need to rebuild my server which has a failing drive (backed up the data already, just need time). I may go ahead and put 10-RELEASE on it since the NICs are fully supported.

Today, I got my new laptop dragon up on wireless with a little
Edimax EW-7811Un 150 Mbps Wireless 11n Nano Size USB
Adapter.
Now, setup begins in ernest. I have disabled the on-board wireless NIC
in the BIOS, and started to set up shop on it.
Next major task. Configure X. :)
