I'm sitting in front of spitfire, eating lunch now. The TechBC research systems have now been named after WWII aircraft. The workstations are small planes, and the mainframes are bombers. The SGI Onyx is B52. Naming computers is fun!
Spitfire is RH7.2 box, with no security concerns, as it is behind serious firewall stuff. Gord installed all of the Ximian stuff on here, with the RedCarpet system, and I like what it does, but I'm not happy with some of the results. It broke every browser except Konquerer & Netscape 4.
My lunch is chicken teriyaki, one of my usual things. The guys at the teriyaki takeaway know me by name now, and I know them. They know I like extra sauce with mine, and chopsticks instead of a fork.
I have sound piping thru the nice speakers up on top of the Rave displays, so the working area here is starting to get really nice :-).
Next I will set up a DVD player on this box, and hook into the displays and the speakers, then we can have big screen movies that put the rest of what we used to do at North with the projector to shame.
