The web server diary

I finally cracked and grabbed the 700MHz M/c J has been ignoring. The installation of Fedora worked this time.

Now I have a learning curve.

I spent this evening with Apache and Samba, as well as miscellaneous - what do I have to do to get around in Gnome - type things.

I learnt that it is not a good idea to change the desktop to anything other than Gnome - I ended up with a screen and an obscure left mouse click list of "things I don't want to do, now how do I get out of here again" It's a bit like changing the default language on the mobile phone to Russian.

I can get my desktop m/c to show me the "you have apache working correctly" screen, when I use the linux m/c ip address, but then couldn't work out how to access the static ip from my isp to do the same thing - I think it might have something to do with the firewall on the router => I'll try again from work.

I also got started on being able to 'see' the linux box from windows and vice-versa. Unfortunately, my eyes are now crossed and my brain is glazing over as I read the instructions I have been able to find.

Bed now.

is it stalking?

So now I know the username of the man doushkasmum is keen on.

I've read what he's written most recently and I was going to friend him, and than I stopped. I feel a bit like i'm intruding.

but how is checking his LJ regularly different from 'friending' him so it gets fed to my friends page? If anything, I guess friending him is more honest.

Maybe I should just stay away a bit longer.

Edit No, I'm keeping right out of it.
