. . . stepping out of the tunnel, blinking at the sunlight . . . but almost everything seems to be working and I have kernel 2.6.3 running now. I can even download images from my digital camera from Linux. Crazy. Right. So . . . I've had to order some new bits for my new web-server-to-be. See, my previous motherboard for my main machine, it was just lying around, doing nothing, so I thought . . . I'll use that for my new web-server, largely because I wanted to use my old 20GB hard-drive for storing all these frigging images and none of my working computers would recognise anything but 4GB out of the 20GB, so . . . yes . . . needed a new motherboard, but then I had no cases for this motherboard and I was tempted just to get some gaffer tape and kind of just, you know . . . stick everything together without the case, but . . . no . . . for a start, I have to suitable power supply, so I had to order a case . . . and then, of course, this motherboard needs some memory (it already has a 800MHz CPU, which I've since attached a heat-sink to, using the Arctic Silver III compound), so I figure I might as well order another 512MB DDR thing, give my main machine 1GB of memory and then the spare 256MB DDR can go on the web-server . . . oh and, erm . . . the UV lights, I couldn't resist them.
