Oh hell, just got back from a trip to Raleigh North Carolanky for four
days. I took my server with me, and we converted a nasty Win machine to
Ubuntu 10.10. MY goal is to rid our NonProfit of all Winders, but the
staff has much trepidation. So, I JUST got back, plugged everything back
up, including this monster Dell which I left behind. Fired it up, and
during post the damn thing started going off like Chinese New Years.
Flicking like mad, before Linux had a thing to do with it. Oh hell...
Gonna google around on this. ME thinks I'll open up the backside and
give it a good vacuuming first.
I'll save the theatrics for later, when I take a pipe wrench to it to
fix it for good. Ric
