A Dead Distros Party
I can't believe Fedora 7 came to its end of life and I didn't get the memo.Clearly, this was a major mix up in communication.
So right now I'm working on upgrading to Fedora 8, then Fedora 9 since Fedora 8 will die in November when Fedora 10 is released.
I need to sharpen up my Linux skills a little bit.
The good news is that Falko Timme saved me the trouble of having to reinstall everything, for the moment. Because a new distro for Fedora comes out about every six months, Fedora should make their distributions upgradeable like their packages, or atlease be as easy to upgrade as how Timme explained it.
Hopefully, when everything is upgraded, I can then proceed to upgrading to Fedora 9 then eventually Fedora 10.
Timme's method is such a time saver! (Thank you!)
I also want to get Google Earth back up and running on my computer.
From what I can tell, I should also try to avoid kernel version 2.6.25, which may explain why there is a security breach.
Because of the compromize in security, Linux users should exercise caution. Using ClamAV and SELinux may help. (SELinux was a pain to work with, especially with Apache HTTP server.)
I have a feeling that I have some scripts to write this weekend along with some portfollio pages.
