The Stages of NetBooting

1. Your BIOS and network card initiate a broadcast to get information about Boot sources
2. Your DHCP server responds with information about how to boot
3. Your computer downloads a small file over TFTP and begins a boot process
4. Your Operating System is mounted over NFS and all your files are served over your 100Mbit network card
5. Eventually you get tired of the slowness of certain things so you put your OS on a 16GB thumbdrive, and simply mount /home over NFS
6. Eventually you get tired of filesystem corruption and you put your OS onto your USB backup hard drive.
7. Eventually you get tired of USB problems with suspend and you buy a hard drive
8. Now you keep everything on your internal hard drive except for your large movie/music/picture collections which you mount via NFS when you want them.
9. Eventually you get tired of that and you keep everything on your internal hard drive and just back it all up to your fileserver.
10. Life is good again
11. Then you setup Unison.  Stay tuned for our next post; "The Stages of Unison"
    

Verizon Wireless Website Linux solution

My Verizon is temporarily unavailable

Annoying, isn't it?  This is the message you might get if you are using firefox, iceweasel, or Epiphany, or anything else combined with Linux.  Very, very, frustrating.  Well, here is the solution as of 10/8/2009:  Use Spanish.  Seriously, click the Español link at the top of the page, and then log in.  Come on, don't tell me you can't find Entrar.  Once you are signed in, just click English again and you are good to go.   Or, learn Spanish.  Why not?
