Elite Group

Today we put together a computer with an Elite Group Motherboard, and a mini box enclosure. It doesn’t hold a whole lot of data, but it very power efficient. Here are some photos from the procedure.

Debian Installer

I’m not too familiar with Debian as an OS, but as far as the installation process is concerned, its great. I’ve installed it onto a few machines now, and after a few installations its a breeze. The majority of installation is self explanatory, although there are a few steps I was unsure of. The first question being exactly what an LVM is used for and whether or not you should use a mirror. Aside from a few uncertainties I was able to get Debian up and running quickly and painlessly.

Samsung ML-1740 Driver




I had trouble tracking down the driver for this printer. I’m not sure if this model was discontinued or what, but we had a hard time connecting it to the network and are still unable to do so, even with the driver, which I finally found here. This download is strictly for Win 98/ME/2K/XP OS

Tortoise SVN

Tortoise SVN is a subversion client that is implemented as a Microsoft Windows Explorer extension. It is used to maintain current and historical versions of files such as source code, web pages, and documentation.

Subversion keeps a running log of the changes that have been made to a site and the user who made the changes. This makes it easier to manage the site and pinpoint mistakes or unnecessary changes, and Tortoise gives you access to check out files and commit back changes to them.

Tortoise is similar to Dreamweaver in the fact that both programs use a local version of the site that is stored on your desktop. This local version is the template that you use to make changes and add files. The update command in Tortoise is similar to the put command in Dreamweaver in the sense that they take the changes you made on your local copy, and then apply them to the live version.
