Recently I completed my migration from Xen / Fedora Core to KVM / Ubuntu. I have been a long time Redhat user, but I felt that Fedora was no longer stable enough for me. I was tempted to move to CENTOS but it didn’t feel right, not quite an ‘official’ Redhat release. So I decided on Ubuntu with KVM virtualization.

The transition was reasonably painless, a few adjustments to make, like using init.d instead of service. I made some notes for myself that others might find helpful:

Ubuntu Notes

Ubuntu KVM Host notes

Ubuntu KVM Guest notes

In an effort to share some of my iPhone dev efforts, I am linking into my confluence space from the ‘links’ section on the front page, here are the links themselves:

iPhone and xcode notes

iPhone adhoc provisioning notes

Trying to wrap my head around Objective-C and UI kit. Giddy up.

Wish me luck.

Some administrivia updates, I have been busy behind the scenes.

A slight change to the server settings, ‘wordpress’ is no longer part of the blog.gordonturner.ca url. This will cause some indigestion until I can get the rewrite code working correctly. When I do, old links will transparently be redirected to the new url.

Also, there are three new subdomains: jira.gordonturner.ca, confluence.gordonturner.ca and bamboo.gordonturner.ca. Confluence will be the new home of the Pix and Greenfrog projects, Jira will capture all bugs and feature requests and Bamboo is a continuous integration server.

Until I have sorted out some httpd.conf settings, some links like to the maven and maven2 repos will be broken.

I had to go back and fix some of the old picture links, the urls had changed with the new release of Pix 1.8.
