Well, I have not posted for a few weeks, but i have been mostly using Linux. I have for sure found two really bad pieces of news:
- Nothing I can figure out looks promising for Garmin Mapsource. That sucks, so I have at least one application which is going to push me back to Windows now and then.
- Even a bigger issue, I can not get Sirius Satellite radio to work. I spent several hours fooling around with something called "sipi", and got nowhere. Sigh. It looks like Konquer might be the solution, but I have not tried that yet.
Then, I got sidetracked on another issue - remember I said that I had to replay my old USR router with a new LinkSys router? Well, after that, I could not get Windows networking working in the house - two XP machines, 1 1/2 Vista machines (this laptop runs Vista most of the time). Turned out that one of the XP machines which runs Norton Internet Security had decided to treat the network as restricted, and all I had to do was change that to get the Windows machines working on the network again.
Before I close for the night - a couple of good links:
- This looks like all I need to get Samba working: SettingUpSamba
- This was a good explanation of the difference between apt-get and aptitude.
See you again soon!
