Operating Systems are tools in a toolbox in my view and over the years I have been reaching for Debian because it is a quick way to get things done. I especially love the Network Installation, mostly because I hate burning CDs :-). Net install ISO are under 300 Megs and coupled with PXE boot, this is a quick way to get a desktop up and running. Download your netinstall image Boot-Up and Install the base system Select Additional packages Configure system as required Once the base system has been installed, all additional packages are download from the repositories and install....

VirtualBox is a viable LAB option for Certification study. Personally I would prefer to run Hyper-V or XENServer but those solutions are a bit resources heavy for a home LAB. VirtualBox is prefect for older aging hardware. ========= Install VirtualBox ============ On Debian Wheezy I learnt the hard way that the packages in the distro repo are dinosaurs, which I could not get to work with PHPVirtualBox. I installed VirtualBox from the Oracle repo....

I’m having some issues with deploying Dell Optiplex 3011 Windows images using Windows deployment services. What should be a quick win has turned into an head banging exercise! From the onset I was very sceptical about these systems so I’m not surprised that it has been such a pain. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mkl8kCwvpm0 I am using WDS (2012 Server) with the Windows 7 Boot image. I have injected the drivers for the realtek network card and for some reason the drivers will not load in WinPe....

I can’t keep up with all the passwords! There are too many passwords for me to manage, I used to find myself unable to access systems. Passwords are especially annoying on mobile devices with the tiny keyboard. I wanted a solution that works on both the Desktop and Mobile devices. Lastpass is a password management option that I have used in the past. They have a free service but you have to pay to use there mobile apps which is not bad however I never liked the user interface on their Android App....

Let us not wait until the last minute to get up to speed on this! @Tessanne has quite the twitter army so everyone should get ready to save her on Tuesday night if she is in danger in the bottom three.

I have spent ages on this so I am really happy that I got this to work. I was unable to find much documentation on the interwebs on this so I wanted to document this in case someone runs into the same problem I did. Supersonic is a version of Subsonic with restrictions removed. Subsonic has a 30 day limit on mobile app use. Key feature to me. I wanted to be able to play much in jukebox mode, using my Android device as the remote....

My iPXE setup is coming along just lovely, and it is working out just fine. My goal is to avoid scurrying around like a headless chicken looking for USB flash drives and optical media whenever I have to work on someone’s system. This part usually takes the most out of me when I am fixing a system as I can never seem to find install media, usb drives and my tools....
