Nothing really exciting to report on day 3. I'm pretty sure I got this licked. I did discover that our Cisco VPN tunnel for clients was borked with the last maintenance on the network, so I lost my backdoor to be able to work from home via Linux :(.

Day 4 I found a reliable way to crash the Evolution "exchange backend". I get mails from Mailman mailing lists as they come in, rather than a daily digest. Clicking on one with the preview pane on will break the "exchange backend" causing me to have to restart the client. This happens after browsing around in "non-list" mails.

Also on day 4 I found myself needing a proprietary piece of client software to access a file server that I manage. I was slightly discouraged until I realized it was written in Java. I then discovered that they don't provide the source, but they do provide the jar files, and an RPM. I then used alien to convert the rpm to a deb, and I was well on my way to managing that file server.

I'm loving this!
