Fedora, Linux and Stuff

(Note: For the purpose of this post CentOS is equivalent to RHEL)
It has been about 2 and 1/2 years since I built a dedicated server and chose CentOS instead of Fedora. Since I installed CentOS 5.1 I have used the upgrade process 4 times with no problems bringing me to version 5.5 with practically […]

I have read the most serious complaints about the HTC EVO 4G have been over battery life. I would like to offer my observations.
I got my EVO on May 19 with 1 free month of service till June 20. During that time I didn’t use the phone much. I switched my primary […]

I have a dozen Google Wave invites left. Use my contact form with your email and I’ll send you an invite.
