pc running well
Now had the new desktop up and running for a while and have used it lot more no issues found so far. I like the boot up of around 30-40 secs from pwr on to login including entering user and password. The Ubuntu 9.04 is working well and using 64bit desktop version rather than going for the server version.
Installed VMWare Server v2 and then copied some existing images across plus created a new image based on Oracle Enterprise Linux. This has worked well and the learning process has proceed with a few hiccups with the 11g database but all now sorted and good experience. Over the last week have learnt a hell of lot of stuff around the base product set and the potential pitfalls that you can encounter. This all ended with a customer presentation and workshop that was very successful. As a follow-on from that this week has been hectic as we are getting more and more enquiries.
I expect that June is going to be a very busy month and the start to an epic journey around EMEA or at least some of it working with customers and the local Oracle teams.
Spotted an excellent offer from ebuyer today that was a 1TB 3.5 7200rpm hard disk with 32MB cache for £60 so decided to get two to add to the desktop for backup and file server purposes.
