Another reason to virtualize

From Slashdot:

A woman bought a Compaq laptop and loaded Ubuntu on it. Some time later, still well inside the 1-year hardware warranty, the keyboard started acting up. An HP support rep told her, "Sorry, we do not honor our hardware warranty when you run Linux."

If you are wanting to try out linux, the best way is in a virtual machine... and HP will still honor their warranty.

DST Change for VMware ESX 3.0.x

VMware ESX 3.0 (Virtual Infrastructure 3) and above already have the new DST rules in place... So for everyone who's out trying to get all their servers patched before the "big event" don't worry about your ESX 3 servers. If you're running 2.x, VMware has updates available on their site.

This may not seem like that interesting of a post, but it took me about 30 minutes to figure this out this afternoon... so I figured I'd share. I'm going to be gone all next week and thought today would be a good day to be sure everything was up-to-date... that's a lie. Olin (our sys admin) got everything else done before I even thought about it. We're lucky to have him!
