Back at JSI

De-ja-vu...   I'm back at JSI.  :)

Another new job

Started 8 months ago.  Learning new things.  Went from Windows desktop support to Linux/Unix support.  Got a bit rusty on my Linux...  Have to learn quick.

New tool to keep handy = Gparted
      Created a bootable disk for use in partitioning hard drives.

Also learned that you can rename the .gconf and .gconfd directories from your Linux /home/username directory to get back the default Gnome environment.
