Adding a Hard Disk in Linux
If you are trying to add a HD to Linux for additional storage here are some simple steps to get it going. This example will be for hdb (a second ide hard drive)
run:
>fdisk /dev/hdb
>p
Delete any existing partitiona if you so desire by using "d" and selecting the partition number.
Now to create a new primary partition. We will use number one for the partition number:
>n
>p
>1
Use the defaults to get the max size of the disk unless you want more partitions.
>w
Now your partition has been created. Now to format it:
>mkfs -v -t ext2 /dev/hdb1
Now turn on journalling:
>tune2fs -j -i 365 /dev/hdb1
Now create a directory where you want your new partition to be mounted like this:
>mkdir /MoreSpace
Then edit your /etc/fstab file and add the following (without the quotes):
"/dev/hdb1 /MoreSpace ext3 defaults 0 0"
Now reboot and you will have more space.

VMWare User Group in Grand Rapids
I am thinking about starting a Grand Rapids area VMWare Users Group. I am going to try and go to the Kalamazoo LUG meeting soon and see if there is some interest there and possibly doing a "West Michigan VMware Users Group" that we could schedule one meeting in GR and the next in Kalamazoo, etc.
My Todo List
I need to create a quick little todo manager for my different applications that I write and/or work on. Right now I have another todo that I need to add to an application called Vispan. So I am going to use this post as a temp todo list manager.
Vispan:
Daily, Weekly, Monthly, Yearly break outs of information.
Whitelisted consolidation.
Sprint-PCS tool:
Bug fixes. I need to fix this one up.
MailScanner:
Antiphishing support. try and tie into http://www.antiphishing.org.
Fedora Games:
Work on an initial CD for Fedora Core 3. Hopefully I can put something out when FC3 comes out and possibly get some help from other developers.
I would also like to try and connect it with http://www.happypenguin.org and possibly get other distros supported.
