As I have been very interested in the newly released 2.6.30 Linux Kernel, I was browsing around the ubuntu kernel wiki and I've found and interesting tidbit:
"...Note that the i386-server flavour is being dropped. I can think of no good reason to continue to support a 32 bit server. The 32 bit -generic kernel ought to suffice for those headless implementations that have used the -server flavour in the past, such as home gateways. All of the -server unique settings can be made at runtime to a -generic{-pae} kernel, the most important of which are I/O and process scheduler settings."
For many years now, I have been a participant in the Stanford University Folding@Home Project. I joined some time after joining my very first LUG/BUG which was in Paducah, KY as well, sort of the I've replaced since it's own disbandment after I left for Iraq. This project is very interesting and is heading in the right direction in my opinion for opening up new doors utilising distributed computing, shared resources, and an environment of users wanting to progress for the better of mankind.
For more information and to get started heck out the project homepage here:

So as of late, there has been some talk between another member and myself of a possible podcast considering I already have a bit of nice gear ready to go and it would prove a good experiment on using some OSS to get the job done.
I've really been doing a ton of work on the site here lately putting in some serious effort to getting it ready for everyone.
Today alone I finished getting these modules finished and configured ready to go:

In this example, I had a machine with no CD-ROM that I was trying to install Ubuntu on. I had another laptop handy with Ubuntu on it so here we go. I chose the Ubuntu 9.04 i386 cd .ISO image [ to download. to use for installation.
The installation is extremely simple. Just install the portable linux package which is easily installed in Ubuntu.

Ok, after getting some connectivity bumps knocked out and some configuration settings tweaked the final setup is done. Our primary server is up. The mailing list should be done soon as well.
The IRC Server is resolving finally so no more ip addresses to fool with. Hope to see everyone there.

Wow, I had a blast, an unexpected visitor, an old friend Brixster was sitting as I walked up to the doors of Books-A-Million. A long time friend since the original Murray/Paducah Linux User Group were together and numbers were strong. What a time, lots of catching on and plenty of rambling but tons of great conversation which I wouldn't have missed for the world. Preston was there as well as a new guy -a very, very distant Uncle [I bet you never even read this LOL :D].
