swestrupI don't wanna jinx myself, but I'm planning to head off to bed soon, since I have a 10:00 am appointment (with my banker), and I want to have been awake for 2-3 hours before it starts so that I will have some alertness. I figure that if I go to bed now, and actually fall asleep, it won't be a problem.
As for the day I had, its been fairly good. I did a bunch of configuring in Linux, although I had to curse quite a while to find out how to configure X when you don't have X running, and there are no published specs for your graphic system... In the end I was saved because I made a syntax error in the X86Config-4 file, and Mandrake popped up a copy of a console-based video setup debugger. I knew such a thing existed, but had been able to find any documentation on it anywhere, or any indication of what it might be called. Even knowing its called XFdrake, I couldn't find any docs on it. All this because I swapped monitors to one that can't do 1280x1024, and can't talk -- whats the monitor communication protocol called? DRS? Anyway, that.
I suspect there MUST be some way to tell a booting linux that its hardware has changed and you would like to see the configurator again, but I couldn't find any docs on such a thing either.
Oh well, so I didn't get as much done on Postfix as I wanted, but I did manage to get Ximian going, so its all good.
