Work in progress

I just wrapped up a class on Apache web server administration.  I learned a lot, some of it on purpose.  One of the things I learned accidentally is that Apache installs differently on Debian-based Linux distributions than on those based on Red Hat.  How did I learn this?  Well, the book used in class assumed a Red Hat distribution, and I used an Ubuntu 11.04 virtual appliance (Ubuntu is based on Debian).  Whoops.

So, now I have a bit of free time to work on my personal projects.  These include:

• Installing ESXi on my microserver.
• Building a DNS server virtual machine on my ESXi host for use on my LAN.
• Getting VMware Fusion running in Unity mode on my MacBook.
• Getting an amateur radio Technician license.
• Purchasing a radio with options beyond "what do you want to hear?" and "how loud?".

That's a pretty good list for now.  Back to working on a PowerShell script for my job.
