I’m finally getting my systems ready for my upcoming deployment. Today, Fedora 8 was released. It took me a bit to find an FTP server that had actually sync’d (ftp.fi.muni.cz). And once I did, I was surprised to find it still had a bit of bandwidth to give. The mirrors have progressively become bogged down throughout the day, but I got my copy. No bittorrent at work so that’s my only option.
I should have a streamlined Fedora 8 setup with everything running locally that I’ll need. This is going to be my home away from home while I am gone so I want to get it setup with whatever I need. Rumor has it, the Blue Force Trackers run RedHat Enterprise under the hood so I may need some toys for playing while bored in Iraq.
I’ll be taking a Dell D610 w/ 1.5GB RAM and a 200GB disk with me. It’s a pretty basic setup, but should be enough for a year.
