Before I get flamed for my first post on this blog, let me explain the situation.

For my work, we are now exploring porting some of our software to Linux.  Now, I have worked with Linux in the past, and I am far from its biggest fan.  But, when it comes to setting it up, I kinda expect things to be fairly simple.  Well, apparently, those of us who choose to use Virtual PC to create virtualized environments (mostly because VMware doesn't work very well...or really at all...under Vista 64-bit) are in for a shocker.  With both Ubuntu and Fedora, I have run into garbled screens.  Ubuntu was kind enough to wait until post-install, but Fedora did it from the get-go.  In addition, neither of them had mouse support.

I was talking with my lead earlier today during our monthly one-on-one, and we ended up on the topic of blogs intended to share those tidbits of discovery that we tend to make in this field.  So, that's what this blog is for--sharing my little discoveries.  It also serves as a repository, so that when I am on a computer trying to find one of these little pieces of info that I need to make something work, I'll know exactly where to go to find it.
