either the ram or the CPU is fried on the box we’ve built. jeff’s going to bring in replacement ram to test against, so that should be helpful. SuSE install went balls-up when trying to determine if the installer image was gzipped or not, and a redhat install died doing (almost) the same thing. so we decided to run memtest, which ran for about a half hour before crashing with no explanation. bleh.

also, it seems that the Creative Audigy card we’d received is causing the computer to not even be able to POST. not even a beep! so we’re looking for a replacement soundcard. kind of an important piece of the puzzle, no?
kurt and i are definitely going to the anaheim convention center sunday to pick up a useable cabinet.

other than those items, not a whole lot going on at the moment. i wish i could say there was more, but there really isn’t. unfortunately, it’s a little slow going, but we’re still moving forward. never give up! never surrender!
