* LUKS encrypted the external portable disk I carry around in the laptop bag
* Updated my laptop to all the latest patches (linux and win7 partitions)
* Updated my kickstart and VM servers to the latest patches
* Updated wordpress
* Backed up the website to the network install/recovery server
Now what to do, read another book I guess.
And an update to the post, why do I keep using the Fedora linux distro ???. Those Fedora Linux updates I slapped in as carelessly as a windowz user allows updates to happen
– disabled the network service
– enabled network manager
– renamed my ethernet devices
or in short the updated servers were no longer on the network after rebooting them. I have plugged keyboards/screens into each and gone thru them and disabled network manager and re-enabled the static network, and updated the network startup scripts to use the new device names. They are visible again on the network. An normal patch update should not override the preferred network services and configuration, but then Fedora is a developer release known for turning servers into doorstops.
So found something to keep me busy after all. But now back to the book.
