I was able to install and run the SLAX modules I created already, with the exception of postgresql. I just made a MySQL module instead, and downloaded a JDBC connector for it. All in all I'm impressed with how SLAX performs on the laptop I borrowed. It's nice to be able to carry Linux around in your bag and use it on any computer.

Module issues
I've made all the SLAX modules I was going to say in the last post, but the postgresql mod failed to run properly, so I just made a MySQL module in its place. That works, with some tweaking, but now I need to install a JDBC connector for MySQL. I got one today, so I'll be able to work on my database projects from anywhere, and on any computer.

SLAX rox!
I got an opportunity to create a module for use with the SLAX live cd, and that has to be some of the simplest stuff I've seen to date when it comes to modifying bootable CDs. I made a java module based on a Slackware package I got from one of my Slackware CDs. Once I booted the CD I was able to use the module that I made! A really nice touch to that distro. I'll put the module up later when I get a chance.
Other modules to create.
- Apache ant
- Jakarta Tomcat
- Postgresql
- Netbeans
- Apache - just for good measure

What to Do?
What else to do on my Xandros machine at home?
- Install Tomcat
- Install blosxom
- Install Bochs or qemu so I can play Descent
Got a lot done on my Xandros machine last night. I had to reinstall Apache so that I could use PHP with it. Then I also installed the PHP module for Apache, Webmin, Apache Ant, and PostgreSQL. I'm trying to set up my computer like what is on the server at work, so I can start bringing work home, because it seems like that I might need to to meet my deadlines.
