My quest for Mandrake 9.1 ISO images is almost complete. I finally got hooked to a mirror and am getting decent bandwidth from them. I still have BitTorrent running in the background just in case I lose my connection to them. So tomorrow after we get back from the gym I’m gonna load Mandrake on the print server and see if I can get everything working. Mandrake 9.1 includes ZeroConf which Apple calls Rendezvous so getting the printer hooked to the Powerbook won’t be a problem, but I’m gonna have to look into sharing it with my laptop since it is still running XP (for the time being anyway). I also picked up Solaris 9 for X86 this evening. I’m kind of disappointed that Sun started charging for Star Office, apparently they have really good filters for Microsoft Office files. I only hope that I will have some luck with OpenOffice, and perhaps the CrossOver Plugin assuming I can find my copy of Office 2000.
I was a big pussy at the gym today, I was only able to sit on the bike for about 40 minutes today. I was just felling like crap. So tomorrow I’m gonna have to make up for it, although tomorrow is a weight day not a cardio day.
We still haven’t gone to the movies yet, I’m dying (you wish) to see Dreamcatcher and more importantly Final Flight of the Osiris because the first Matrix sequel picks up from where Osiris ends with the Robots trying to bore a hole into the Earth to reach Zion. So I have to go check that out.
Here is an obligatory link to Justin’s web site. It seems that he isn’t getting any referrals from our site. In case you didn’t click on it the first time here it is again, and again, and again.
OK its time to go to bed.
