Tonite after other work with laptops, upgraded my vm380num1 from 1Gb RAM to 3GB RAM. I removed the 1Gb (4 x 256Mb) that was present and added 3G new (2 x 1G, 2 x 512Mb). That will allow me to fit more virtual machines at any given time, ...

Had another hang on the vmFedora8 host today. At this point, its happening at least monthly. For a box that used to run flawlessly for about 8 years (excluding the early cpu failures), this is totally unacceptable. For now, I think Im gonna take RoundCube down, and use that availability ...

Updated my daily-driver laptop today - from a Belkin card to a Linksys card. The laptop would lockup about once per day, and its actually quite annoying. So I took the Linksys wpc300n card off the shelf today and am trying that - lets see if it helps at all. ...

Seems that my new Fedora Core 8 web server crashed (more like hung) on me at 3:00am today. I had to hard power it off using the vmware console, because I couldnt login - but its back on line now.

console-kit-daemon: ...
