Restart

Here I go again. Yes, I am still trying to get the hang of blogging.

You would think, if you have discovered that I am an IT guy doing web infrastructure, that I would be one of those leading edge adopters.

Alas, my professional life is full of software that doesn't run, software that doesn't do what it's creators claimed it could do, server hardware that isn't supported under Linux, server management tools that don't work right, disk subsystems that need enlarging thus a SAN project, virtualization software that is hard to use and fails in strange ways, and generally about a 1 year backlog of projects despite a doubling of staff in the last year!

So, my ability to spend time investigating new user land software is pretty much limited to what comes included in Red Hat Enterprise Linux workstation.
