I have been having fun the past couple of days installing ESX 3.02 under vmWare Workstation 6.

I won't bore you with all the technical details, however there is an excellent write-up here. 

I have since ran into a snag when trying to install XP under my virtualized copy of ESX.  During the XP setup, XP would complain that it could not find my HD.  I ran across this wondering article which worked flawlessly.  I did, however, use the BusLogic driver.

One of the changes to RDC 6.1 client released with Windows 2008 is the removal of the /console switch.

HP has a MediaSmart version of Windows Homserver that comes with either a 500MB or 1TB configuration.  I just received my 1TB system and have it up and running.  The system is simply amazing!

The system appears to work flawlessly and I enjoy the HP MediaShare add-on that allows me to easily upload photos to my server an make them accessible to family and friends.

I love the fact that I can access my files and servers remotely..

You can get yours from Amazon today!

I blogged about this a couple months ago.

I ran across this very informative screencast on setting up and using Subversion. 

There is also a good blog post here on the subject as well.

I've have spent a number of hours today trying to resolve a problem that I've having with installing Subtext on my Vista Ultimate machine.
