The other day my General Manager came to me to ask if I could install Wine on the Eee PC. I thought “It’s Linux, why not?”

I’m working with the 701 model. The first we need to install wine. The Eee PC uses Xandros which uses the Debian Package system. Under Settings there is what looks like a program that you can use to install additional programs. Unfortunately all this is used for is updates. In order to get to where we need to be, the terminal, we need to hold ctrl+alt+T.

About two months ago I received word from my Hosting provider that they will be performing upgrades to their server. After two months, they finally got around to me. I have scheduled the upgrade for December 31 at 00:00, so that’s 12:00 am, CST.

I can’t begin to tell you how happy this makes me. When I signed up for them over a year ago, I was only able to use PHP 4, and MySQL 4. On their Windows Server, they were still using .NET 1.1. This was rather frustrating as when I signed up they just said “PHP, MySQL, and ASP.NET” It wasn’t until later they changed it to reflect the actual version.

So by the time the new year starts, I will be able to use PHP 5 and MySQL 5. Hopefully, they will upgrade .NET 2.0.

I’m praying that there won’t be any kinks with my blog or anything else on my site. If there is, you know what I’m going to be doing for the first part of 2008!
