ak3ldama's Journal: Fedora 8 Install (i686)

I mentioned once before that I liked ubuntu on my older 32bit athlon. I was using it recently and it's behaviour with monitors and resolutions sucks. In the end I was rather upset and following that the ubuntu live disc wouldn't even work properly. So the end of the story is I am now running Fedora 8 on this machine. I also ordered an ATI 9200 video card (with dual outs) to be able to run dual monitors. I installed and setup a wiki (apache, mysql, php etc) so the next step is to see if I can get netbeans running through some means or another.

Maybe i'll just make this my desktop, give someone my Athlon 64 x2, and get a laptop for Windowz. The long and short of it is that I have been wanting to implement a certain website for a while and will soon embark on this journey. I am not sure which technology to use yet though; I think for what I want php would suffice.

One last note, me and a couple guys from work (who I also went to school with - ********** Inc and South Dakota State University have a _close_ relationship) have embarked on reading "The Art of Computer Programming" by Knuth. We have met once so far and are about 40 pages in and plan to meet weekly. It will take at least 3 months, but it should be very fruitful. They are "working" on their thesis for the CSC graduate program so hopefully this won't distract them too much.
