Recently, I’ve found myself typing quickly into my IM client to a few friends, explaining how a DNS change of some kind was going to work. It occurred to me that I should probably just write something up that would explain some DNS basics.
DNS is a big topic. I’m not even going to attempt to cover all of it here. If you really want to dig into it, then I recommend that you get and read the bugs book. A lot of this book is devoted to talking about the BIND software package (more on this later), but it’s still pretty much the reference for understanding DNS. If, on the other hand, you fall into the overwhelming majority of people who need to “get it”, but don’t need every detail, hopefully this article will help you out.
7 CommentsI just went to the Microsoft web site homepage for the first time in at least a year. And I was greeted by awesomeness.
Yes, ladies and gents, there’s a reference to Spinal Tap on their homepage. Behold.
Cheers guys. I think it’s great.
No comments thus farFedora 11 came out a few days ago (two weeks late, but who’s counting) so I went ahead and grabbed a copy and installed it. I figured I’d weigh in with my initial impressions since this is a pretty significant release. A few caveats to keep in mind for this.
- I’m going to talk really about the desktop experience here. I’ve not put it on a server and really beaten it up.
- I’ve installed it onto VirtualBox on my MacBook pro. Meaning, I have NOT installed it directly onto real hardware anywhere.
- As a consequence, I really haven’t bothered to even attempt testing out the Compiz stuff. Which is a shame becuase I love it.
