Setting up a PXE server on linux

Posted Aug 1, 2005

Actually this should work on any *nix base but I have only used Linux. Infact I only used Fedora Core 3. For a PXE server you need two things:

  • DHCP server
  • TFTP server

I used ISC DHCP Server and TFTP Daemon. Both can be acquired using Apt-Get, Yum, or anywhere else quite easily.

Upgrades

Posted Aug 11, 2004

Due to the never-ending problems with my Ati FireGL X-1 and Doom3 my dad saw it fit to ‘liberate’ a Quadeo4 XGL750 from his office to swap with my FireGL. The nVidia card is quite good. It is about the same performance level as the FireGL but with slightly better drivers (the Ati FireGL drivers really do suck - too bad you can’t use the Catalyst drivers). Anyway this card will be benchmarked soon and I will post the benchmarks on this site. 

Whoa

This was a very good day for me. I slept in and got up for some a nice burger for lunch. Then I studied a bit for software. The fun all started, however, when my dad got home with nothing less than a copy of Doom 3. FEAR!!! YEAH!!

Something happening, quite sneaky really

Posted Aug 7, 2004

I don’t update this site nearly often enough. This is generally because I have nothing newsworthy to post. I will, soon, however, have quite a bit to post here :). I am half-way through my Trial HSC examinations and am doing better than I thought I would. 

I am also starting to work on a secret project that will be revealed in a short while (tops a few months). This is going to be very good. I am enjoying working on it. Hopefully you will like it when I annonce it later.

Site complete

Posted Feb 8, 2004

The site is complete (as far as putting pages in etc). I will put more content in as I make more. I promise :) 

The forums are up and going. Please do sign up and post. Especially with the disappearance of Dale and the Dalegroup forums, we needed a new place to rant and post random stuff. So there you have it. Enjoy. :D
