The IT guy will be over here starting Friday. Unfortunately I won’t be here. My next thought is to use VNC to allow him to see what’s going on with my computer. Since I have made numerous changes to source code, I really need a VPN connection so I can check the code back in to our version control system.
I have installed Damn Small Linux Not onto a flash drive. My problem is, I don’t have a computer that will boot from a USB port. So I guess it was just wasted effort.
