Anyone got a recent copy of Sol 10 stable +intro
by Anthony Cull 18 Jan '08

18 Jan '08

Hi wlug Im Anthony, I have a sparc netra X1 and would like to upgrade it to the latest stable release of Solaris 10... Yes I know linux works on sparc.. but hate to say this but the options are less than good. I might be prompted to join wlug and contribute my experience with *nixes over the last 5 years. I am moving from Levin to Te Aroha and thought contributing my knowledge to a local community would help.

Phew! it is quiet. The last time I spoke with Bruce He seemed fairly determined for the workshop to go ahead.

For those battling problems with linux and WiFi like this guy: http://www.cnet.com/8301-13880_1-9848471-68.html?tag=bnpr this might be an interesting piece of software (WiFi Radar): http://wifi-radar.systemimager.org/ This might be a useful piece of software for those that don't want to play at the command line - I find NetworkManager quite frustrating personally. -- Web: http://wand.net.nz/~iam4/ Blog: http://iansblog.jandi.co.nz
