Still working it out
This is not as easy as everyone makes it seem. Ok, now I have a blog, how to get it to feed is another thing.

They say they want to see a blog, well here it is. I am trying to learn something new and this is it. I've never blogged before but now I am.
Ok, I've had some moderate success in installing Fedora 11 on my machine. It only took my 4 times to get it working. Its still not complete yet. I'm still learning and exploring my way around the new software.
First a note to myself. If I install again. DO NOT select everything. Somehow that did not work. Also I need to read up on RAID. I still havent figured it out. But that was apparently one of my first problems with the install. I somehow worked around it, but I don't remember how. some setting somewhere that I cant remember disabled the RAID and reconfigured the drives to act separately, then I was able to install.
I hate having memory problems but I guess I'll just have to learn to live with it. At least the machine is working even if my brain isnt.
The desktop that I am using is apparently called GNOME and I'm supposed to be able to switch over to another type listed as KDE. Well that switching isn't working for me yet either. I'm not turning it in as a bug to fix, because apparently others are able to do it, and I haven't ruled out installation errors yet. I am building a list of error messages that I see in the various logs. I'll bet that somewhere in there is a clue to my problems.
