Build A Cross-Platform Test Network With Samba & GRUB

Posted by Hemos on from the test-it-out dept.

An anonymous reader writes "This tutorial shows how to combine Samba and GRUB to build a compact, highly adaptable, cross-platform test network, capable of booting and networking a large number of operating systems on a small number of machines. Though Samba and GRUB can manage many different operating systems, this tutorial focuses on Linux and Windows." Reg required on the story.

    Sirs,

    I have three complaints about Matrix Reloaded:

    1) "The Rave" scene. Why the hell did they had to have a five minute long (bad) music video in a movie that was already too long?

    2) Trinity at the end of the movie. Why did the writers go for such a cliche and not for something more original?

    3) Dismal, wooden dialogue. Almost as bad as that in LOTR II.

    Thank you for your attention.

    I haven't read the article as I don't want to subscribe... but is there a way to modify the GRUB menu and the default choice from within Windows before rebooting?

    Even the proponents of Kyoto admit that if fully ratified, it would only delay their own worst-case model?s warming by two or three years over the next century. And all we have to do is wreck the world?s economy. Then we can all go back to that magical time when a few million humans lived in villages and drank herbal teas and sang songs around the campfire and poet-kings ruled lands without warfare and sacred crystals kept everybody healthy just as they did in Atlantis.

  9. Programming tips by AlphaSys · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Actually, wanker, I do have a programming tip... go do some instead of pestering folks who have work to do. I had never come across a pxe variant of GRUB and so I asked the question, as pxeLinux does most of what I need at my job, but I'm still not knocked out. I myself have gotten over the need to pretend there is nothing I don't know or can't learn from another. If you are so damned well-versed in everything, why the hell do you bother with /.? It's rarely entertaining, and it can't be very informative for someone with your gargantuan intellect and endless expertise. You must have very little to do indeed if this is your form of entertainment. As ever, I am serious.

    BTW... I never said I don't program... I said I'm not a programmer, as in that is not what I get paid to do. Of course, by that criteria, you could claim you're not a wanker.

    Troglodite feces by itself is probably pretty innocuous. But if you were to mix it with SARS, I'd be willing to bet the combination would kick your ass. Slide down that scale, troll. Take your bitching to news://alt.my.pussy.hurts or similar.

      Ongoing assaults. You are now accusing people of MPD. More ad hominem attacks. Your actions and comments serve as a testament to who and what you are. This perpetual deluge of assaults only serves to reveal to the world the actions of evil you perpetrate here. I am glad that I can be of some service to the world even while being browbeaten by you.

      Aren't you confirming what I just said?

      If I am accusing "people", then they must assume they are more than one, mustn't they?

      Not to mention that referring to yourself as even "person" in the singular smacks of delusions of grandeur, or at the very least hysteron-proteron. Make the evolutionary step, then claim the victory.
