While having a dedicated server is great, the cost of running it, not so much. I’ve had this server for 18 months now and done very little with it, other than run a few personal sites. The original plan was find things that might help offset or even pay for the servers upkeep. I never got around to getting that done. I need to find ways to offset the cost, and will be looking at ways to do just that in the near future.
Don’t expect to see banner ads or anything, that isn’t going to happen. However some change is in the air and will arrive soon.

It wasn’t a good day to burn DVD’s. When I attempted to burn the Fedora 10 Beta iso with the OS burning software, I ran in errors. So I tried other software.
Trying K3B gave me this error-
