Suse 10.1 to 10.3 upgrade Episode 3
Well in Episode 3 of our saga Many goes bald (again) and (almost) drop kicks the server out the window. After going through the pain of installing 10.1 and updating everything I proceeded to upgrade to OpenSuSE 10.3. The upgrade went okay as far as the boot DVD was concerned (no errors during boot), but…

We went nuclear today…..
Today the Toronto Strobists Groups meetup finally came and went and I think I walked away with a good harvest of frames. I don’t know what it is about the gas mask — maybe the fact that it totally hides familiar human features or maybe just the fact that I’ve watched too many movies —…

These guys know how to have fun…..
I have to admit, once I finished reading the article I just about fell of my chair laughing. Not at the idea/concept, but at the shear ingenuity/nerd factor of this project.

There were a lot of rumors during NAB this year that Apple was gonna sell of it’s pro-video division to [your-favourite-video-company] (I heard Thomson/GV). At the…

Suse 10.1 to 10.3 upgrade Episode 2
Okay, don’t laugh, but I’m really starting to believe in the “third time is the charm” saying. Episode 2 was going fine until last night when I left work. I had installed 10.1, skipped installing any of the XEN packages, updated 10.1, installed 10.3 and was in the process of letting it run over night…

Suse 10.1 to 10.3 upgrade Episode 1
So I’ve been preparing a test server for the past couple of days, so that I can test the Suse upgrade path from 10.1 to 10.3. I’ve got a spare Dell 2650 machine with a PERC3/i card and two 37 GB scsi drives in raid-1 configuration. To get the test going I installed SuSE 10.1…
