      So talking with my boss and I explained how I've tried different OS's through the few years I have been working with computers. He tells me about another system we used to have in which they use multiuser Dos.
      I told him how I'm sure ill never use it but id love to give them a read... well

      Then hands me a brand new multiuser dos book ( 3 books total, all still packaged) and says " It's your lucky day. It's brand new and we dont use it any more."

      Not a good use of your time. SO many better things out there to read.

      Suggestions?

      Lots. If you are interested in operating systems, for example, start reading about Linux, BSD, or even Windows. Diving into old, obscure DOS knock offs isn't useful in comparison to things that have survived and are used today. Interesting historically, but some of the least useful uses of your time.

      There are SO many good books, magazines, forums (cough cough) and so forth about current, useful OSes, networking, databases, apps, etc. that you could be reading. Go for those. When those are exhausted, THEN reading about how DOS 7 or Netware 5 did things might be a little interesting to see 'where we came from'.

        ugh - left at 7am ... and while my service ticket was finished by about 3 - it's still a two hour drive back... only to sit down and get called out since the kid forgot his baseball gear in the truck..

        -sigh,..so now I get to do the paper work I wanted to do three hours ago.

        I'm enjoying this,.. and it's in line with things I have wanted to do (Emergency Management Support)... but there are days... that I do miss working for @NTG - @scottalanmiller, @Romo, @pchiodo, @Karlita - et all..

          Heading to sleep before I find myself staying up for two more hours. Starting writing my first bash script tonight :D. End result will be a bit of automation for downloading necessary packages and complete some initial steps for installing OSTicket on Fedora.

            Had a little blip there on the site. Don't know what happened. Didn't last long. We rebooted, just in case.

                  Installing a Fedora Server over a VPN link is pretty silly. I've got the ISO mounted to the console in NY, installing to a server in NC. First thing going on this new server... a management station based in NC.

                    So far, so good. The Fedora install seems to be progressing.

                    44TB free space, that's nice to see on an install.

                      I should have done this last night. I'm feeling it this morning.

                        This week is my on-call week, so I have to get up about an hour early to do the morning systems check tasks.

                                      @jmoore Its few and far between for me. The last time I actually had time to spend on this was back in May and that was for a brief moment. Before that, it was in March.

                                        @nerdydad Yeah I know what you mean. I used to do a couple articles a week but its been weeks since I have had time to write.

                                          @jmoore People are wanting me to write more advanced articles, but I need to write more basic ones to connect dots for others so it doesn't seem like I am jumping from one interest to another. Just makes it so hard sometimes.
