Its been a long time...
Too long. And its not like I haven't done anything since my last post. The main reason why its been so long is because I upgraded my hard drive AND went from using Vista to Fedora. Its taken me this long to install Thingamablog on the new hard drive and then go back to the old one and copy the database files.
So what have I done since my last post. Well, not that much. Well, I've done lots of things, I just haven't accomplished much. I did install OSSEC, but I have no idea how it works yet. Last night while I was trying to figure out for the umpteenth time how to get Infrarecorder to work under Vista (you have to format the DVDs first), I went ahead and installed the new hard drive on my test machine, setup the partitions and installed Zenwalk. I was having trouble with Xorg at first, and when it came up, I was surprised to see that it was in 1024x768, seeing that the Intel graphics chipset seems to max out at 800x600. Then whenever I tried to start a terminal it would crash and go back to the display manager. I thought that was because of the graphics card limitation, but apparently its just a problem with the terminal. I downloaded the gnome terminal and that apparently fixed it.
