Sorry for the OT post, but when needs must!

Have just been made redundant, 1 year, 5 days after the last time!

Anyone know of any jobs in computer networking going at the moment?
Novell, Windows, Linux, Groupwise, a little exchange, firewalls,
security etc. can probably deal with pretty much anything!

Based London/SE

If so plz mail me,

Danny

Normal service will now resume!
The box said windows 98 or better, so I installed Linux

Think you might have talked yourself out of a job at Microsoft there...

I don't know - "know your enemy" and all.

And promptly found that wireless internet access didn't work,
and you couldn't write a CD or DVD. Oh, and a zillion other drivers
weren't supported. And then applications worked with one version
but failed on another, 'cos of gcc changes.

Better? Read 'different problems'.

O come on. Linux is wonderful. It give you massses
to talk about when you get together with your fellow
geeks^H^H^Hurus down the pub swapping fixes and
horror stories. In the world where people want to
pay me money windows is assumed so windows they get.
The last time we did anything different it was an
IBM AIX system in the mid 90s. The main thing I
remember about that was whenever you phoned support
about a problem they said something like "that bug
is already documented" and somehow assumed that that
solved your problem.

Hehe... My Linux Laptop plays DVDs just fine, accesses that interweb thing
via a wireless card without any problems, my desktop writes CD's without
any issues and can do all the photo & graphics editing I'm capable of,
and runs my favouring desktop-deco software without a hitch...

Games suck though!

My laptop can read and write CD's fine when booted into Linux, but
a desktop PC has never been able to - reads them fine, but won't
write. If anyone has managed to get wireless drivers for a vaio
VGN-B1XP running Suse 9.0 I'd love to know, took long enough
finding a way of hacking the video BIOS to run in native 1440x1050
mode.
