Null Lives!!!

Null is currently online and gradually being tweaked! HUGE thanks to the people at FedoraFAQ.org (http://www.fedorafaq.org/) for their painfully easy documentation. They were a bit slow on updating for Fedora 7 which was one of the reasons why i lost interest in this project (long story to be posted later) but now things seem to be clicking quite nicely.

You can see my Putty window open in the attached image. Once i got the SSH service started, it was a cake walk to connect to locally. Now i can do whatever i want to without always having to bounce over with my KVM.









Next up is to get VNC working so i can use the GUI remotely (obviously) and then fine tune everything in firefox. Ideally i want to see how much (or little) needs to be done to get fedora 7 fully functional as an internet box for myself. Once i do so, i hope to make a check list for future reference and post it here. Ideally i would like to get this streamlined enough that when i build my next machine i can seriously consider *nix as an alternative to paying the obnoxioulsy high license fees for M$.

First things first. Need to get VNC working so i can actually see if any of my crack pot ideas work. More updates to come....

I think i broke VNC. When i say "broke" i mean it's f'ed up pretty badly. :( If i don't figure somthign out by the end of this week, i'm just going to wipe the machine and start from scratch. :(
