So its about time I said something about business today. Everyone is FREAKING out because we’ve got huge businesses that are going broke very quickly. They’re inefficient and seem to have so many resources and problems that fall through the cracks. When I look at an Iconic business I see a behemoth, a labouring monster that fails to deliver efficiencies.

If I could change one thing about how companies are run, I’d say, be modular. Move to a system that allows each part of the business to be tiny and repeatable. Why do we have companies that are tied so tightly to each of their limbs that they all fall over.

That’s what my businesses are going to look like. Lots of small splashes in a big pond, enough to make a wave.

Here ends my ramblings.

So, I tried a suggestion from the Ubuntu forums (sorry guys, can’t remember the link atm) The trick was to install Ubuntu 8.10 on the laptop first then load the latest version of Opensuse on the laptop. For some reason the Opensuse version of GRUB was able to recognise the kernel of the UBUNTU 8.10 install. That was the hunch anyway.

Well, we’ve had a victory of sorts. Installing Opensuse does indeed boot from the computer, at least during the install process and from the 4th partition on my hard-drive.

It did however seem to lose grub again after that first install. I think I installed something over my MBR so that it would only boot into VISTA.

Still, this computer is one step closer to being windows free. Although, I will be getting a free copy of windows 7… hmmm… must resist!!!

Kohjinsha Computer troubles

I think we all can relate… How can something that makes our life sooo ‘easy’ make things SOOOOOO annoying!!!

p.s. still no linux on Kohjinsha SX… apparently its the poulsbo chipset that it doesn’t like.
