I found a 1.7Ghz Xeon box in the pile of comps, added an extra 40gb and an nVidia Corporation NV15BR [GeForce2 Ultra, Bladerunner] rev 164
what was in a 1.5ghz P4. I hope the Xeon is a better choice.
I'm gonna stripe the two 40gbs that were in it already.
So I want stick Beryl on it, it's been a buzz around and I need something to show off with in the office, plan9 looks just a little bit boring.
So, here we go :
1. Install Nvidia binary blob for OpenGL
http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/Linux-x86/100.14.11/README/appendix-a.html
That page says I need version 1.0-7185
Following these instructions
http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux_display_ia32_1.0-7185.html
But now I have to drop out of X
while I was there I ended up installing gnome *sigh*

to get me started, hope I get get it going for 9wm !
Seems to be installed, icon is displayed when it starts up, I'll give it a play when I have time.
I really don't like Gnome
Record of some of the computer tech I deal with so that it's documented at least somewhere.
