The North Idaho Linux Users Group has a technical session tomorrow at F1 For Help in Rathdrum. I think I will take the now-undead computer there and see if anyone can help me with resurrecting the operating system. If not, I may try installing Ubuntu and then install Windows 2000 professional in a virtual machine on that O/S.
I need to do a lot of shopping this weekend for the weekend after this one. We are having a barbecue at work on Wednesday, where I will be doing Dutch oven potatoes and two desserts. Then the next day I will be going to a teardrop trailer gathering and I need food for the potlucks there. It’s going to be a very busy couple of weeks.
I need to come up with a different way to download podcasts. Right now, I am downloading them in my Windows 2000 VM, then copying them to the actual workstation, then copying that to my thumb drive. Too many steps involved there. I guess I will have to ressurect that computer.
