It looks like I'm going to be getting the static package of DSL. This means that the website will probably be moved to something like www.pmonkey.com or something... I currently have the web server running on a DHCP Cable line. The address is http://24.174.224.81. Service for DSL should be activated on the third of June. I will post my IP then. Perhaps a month or two later I will purchase a domain name. Unless I can sucker someone into doing it for me. J/K!!! (I'm not serious about that...). Hopefully by then I will have the site rebuilt. Yes that's rebuilt. I'm going to be running a SQL server and hopefully transform some stuff into a database and run some of my own scripts. WooHoo!

Working on site

Ahh, back to work on the ol' website again. I've written a script to update Spheretech AKA IT3 on a daily basis. The older version is the only "working" version however it's not as nice as I wanted it. There are some concepts, namely adding hardware to a user, that I want to re-work and make it more (can't think of the write word) open to misc types of hardware.
I should be moving out soon, (away from the parents) so I should get ALLOT of open time. Or at least that's the hope (but anyone knowing me, knows this seems to change about a month later seemingly).
Incase anyone doesn't know, I've dropped Lunar-Linux for reasons unsaid. I'm now using LFS and OpenBSD. I will still host the Lunar helping files for those that still need them. If anyone cares to mode them, I will place them up here if you want or if you want to put them somewhere else please let me know (I'm just curious, I'm not going to be a dick about it.)
Here is my game plan for this website:
- Clear ALL pages and start from scratch.
- Place up some of my config files to help Linux noob's. (Everyone's a noob at some point, right?)
- Research Linux. It's history, it's creators (Linux Torvalds) background, it's comparison to Windows. The *major* differences between distributions (Attempt to help people find what distro they need), and misc information about it.
- Research Microsoft. Same thing info like Linux. It's problems and it's advances (face it, if it wasn't good, many people use it?).
- Work on my version of an Auto-mated LFS process. This will probably be written in BASH and will be somewhat interactive.
- Work on security section of the website. Namely firewalls, firewalls+proxy (TLDP may have better info), and user security. This involves Windows 2000, Windows XP, OpenBSD, and LFS.
- SPEED of your machine. For example by default Windows 2K/XP does not use UDMA. There are also tweaks you can do to speed up your machine.
- Server configs. TFC/Counter Strike, http, smtp, ntp, domains (via Win2K Server and Samba), Samba in a 2K domain w/ PAM.
Opinoins I have: For the most part, XFree86 should be pretty simple to configure, Sound I may put in here but should be pretty simple either ALSA or OSS should get your happy.
<rant>For all the Anti-Microsoft and Anti-Linux monkeys in the world: GROW UP! Both of them have thier advantages. I have a friend of mine who is pro-microsoft and believes I'm anti-Microsft + pro-Linux and another friend who is the oppisite. Both of them believe I'm against them all the time and I am "one sided". Linux rocks, it's free, fast, stable (assuming you don't configure something stupid), did I mention free and secure? Windows XP rocks, it's fast, stable (yet again, configs?), and secure
(to a certain extent, but it CAN be just as secure as Linux if done CORRECTLY. too many Windows admins don't know enough and DON'T PATCH). The pro-Linux one believes Mozilla is god and the other belives IE is god. Both of them work better than the other under certain circusmtances. I can goto my bank and be faster with Mozilla than IE, I can goto slashdot faster on IE than Mozilla. Some Linux people brag about how often Windows users have to patch, hello? Have you ever REALLY kept track of your software? It updates just as often,
because half of it hasn't even reached 1.0!!! (not really but you get the point). Something many Linux people I have met misunderstand about Microsft and it's "buggyness" is that Linux poeple expect you to know a good (or at least some) amount of info about your hardware. Microsft writes a program to detect all that, how many configurations are there? Red Hate can do the same you say? I think not. I have a Sony Vaio PCG-FX210 and had utter HELL getting DHCP to work. I'm a dumbass your say? Why should I have tried soo hard to get friggin DHCP to work!?!?
Windows does it auto-magically. Hell, even Lunar-Linux has dhcpcd. That's simple! Come on! It's supposed to be a difficult distro designed for SysAdmins.</rant>
Sorry I had to vent some frustration from some ID10TS today... >:(
