Dear Santa, thank you for the dolls and pencils and the fish. It's Easter now, so I hope I didn't wake you but... honest, it is an emergency. There's a crack in my wall. Aunt Sharon says it's just an ordinary crack, but I know its not cause at night there's voices so... please please can you send someone to fix it? Or a policeman, or...
Back in a moment.
Thank you Santa.

I Got A Grub

Pray, does it boot?

Nnnnot really.

WELL, IT'S HARDLY A BLOODY BOOT LOADER, IS IT?!!???!!?

Look, if you go to my brother's computer shop in Padstow, he'll replace the operating system for you.

Okay, so after all that, it just sits there saying GRUB. Remarkable boot loader, GRUB. Beautiful plumage.

I don't think it liked booting from a software mirror for some reason. FC5 was perfectly happy with it. CentOS 4.4, on the other hand, promptly joined the bleedin' choir invisible.

Excuse me, this is irrelevant, isn't it?

Yeah, well it's not easy to pad these Python files out to 150 lines, you know.

Before you make major changes to a system that is in daily use by over a hundred people, it is generally advisable to tell the person who has to support it.
