airport extreme basestation and Fedora 10

I'm impressed, on the first try I was able to get my hp psc 750 printer (that is connected to my airport extreme basestation) to work with Fedora 10. All I had to do was (in Fedora) go to printer setup, choose the category "AppSocket/HP JetDirect", I entered in the IP of the airport which for me was 10.0.1.1, the next step asked me for what type of printer, and it was done! Tried to print out a page and it worked perfectly. I was expecting this to be a freagin 10 hour project.

SDF

For anyone that doesn't know SDF or Super Dimension Fortress is a truly awesome resource for the linux/unix geeks. And best of all it'sThe website isn't very user friendly, and signing up for a membership isn't clear at all. But the services are great. For a small price you can get ftp,ssh, domain names for your website, and lots of different programming languages.

Fedora 10 & Radeon x3870x2

Hurrah!! For crappy drivers. I've been using Fedora 10 for some time now, just upgraded to the new ati drivers( ATI Catalyst™ 9.1 Proprietary Linux x86 Display Driver) and now there is an attractive water mark on the bottom right hand of my screen, overlapping everything else. The watermark reads "AMD Unsupported hardware", I reviewed ati's knowledge base, and it indicated that either my hardware was truelly not supported, or I was missing a "control" or "signature" file from /etc/ati. Both files are present on my install, and I chose the ati drivers under the 3xxx model series. So either it wasn't tested with the 3870 x2 or there is something else wrong with the new driver release. Either way I downgraded to the previous 8.12 release, and now the watermark is no more. On a side note, I'm actually very much pleased with the ati catalyst driver installation process now, before you had to turn off x-server before you could install them, now it's a simple gui window, with just a restart required.
