Installed Fedora Core 6, played around with a pair of promising new technologies, Xgl (eye candy) and Xen (virtualization).

I’m still partial to apt, but it’s a pretty slick package.

Ganked a machine, finally did one of those projects I’ve been putting off, building a raid-5 setup on Linux. Performance locally capped out via bonnie around 49MB/sec. Iozone over the network via afp managed to hit 46MB/sec. In other words, sweet. There’s rumors of ZFS in Leopard, but if that doesn’t happen I’ve got another way to solve my storage needs.

To anyone attempting to use an ADC connected Apple Studio Display under Linux and having difficulties with xinit failing to provide the monitor with power, add “HorizSync 78-82″ and “VertRefresh 60-180″ to the “Monitor” section of xorg.conf.

You really don’t want to know how long that particular piece of wisdom took to discover.
