RE: [MLUG] Urgh, I hate dell/intel (trying to install gentoo linux)

["Woodsmall, Ryan \(IATS\)" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

The Linux lab is in Engineering West 120/142, and there are 39 machines running Red Hat Enterprise 3 WS.  They should be Red Hat 4 by the beginning of fall semester.  The machines are currently not ready for use, but they should be by Tuesday or Wednesday.

I built the Linux-side of the Physics dual-boot machines, too.  They were originally in the new Life Sciences building, but they weren't used at all.  Dual-boot in a lab situation is almost unsupportable.  I know I don't want anything to do with it ever again.

Very interesting. You are running a student lab with dual-core computers with 
Linux on them? Where is this lab going to be because I would like to use it 
when I am on campus! I like to use the Linux machines on campus, but there 
are very few of them, and they are on East Campus- all the way across campus 
from my classes. I know there are some dual-boot machines in Physics, but 
those are generally occupied by people using XP on them :(

I also see that Linux support on ATI cards must be improving- the old Radeon 
Mobility 9000 simply won't work with the fglrx drivers. (However the 
open-source driver works fine.)
