680x0's Journal: Recent computer fun

Recently, I've accomplished two things which will make my life better:

1. Installed a 2nd graphics card and monitor to run my main home machine (RH9) in dual-head mode. It works amazingly well, even though it isn't a perfect rectangle (1600x1200 side-by-side with 1280x1024). One tip for you Linux users out there: don't try to setup a multi-head machine using a Voodoo card. The documentation I used, which was very helpful was this page
2. Got DNS running on one of my more stable machines. My ISP does a good job of making any changes I request, but there are times I want to make changes in the middle of the night, over the weekend, etc. If you try this at home, make sure you pick the latest in whatever branch of BIND you choose to use (e.g. 9.2.2).
